🔍 Critical Cybersecurity Intelligence Roundup

May 8 – May 15, 2025
Espionage posing as recruitment, AI agents turning rogue, and ransomware disguising exfiltration. Here’s what CISOs are tracking this week.

⤷ North Korea’s Resume Offensive
Over 1,000 fake job applications submitted to cyber firms. Espionage by HR infiltration.

⤷ Ransomware as a Cover-Up
Nation-states deploy ransomware not for payment—but to erase digital footprints.

⤷ AI Agents Are Vulnerable
MCP and A2A frameworks expose autonomous agents to prompt injection and SQL exploits.

⤷ Attribution Under Pressure
The rush to assign blame increases strategic error. False flags are rising.

⤷ Security Teams Are Burning Out
Legacy frameworks, audit fatigue, and role inflation are eroding SOC effectiveness.

⤷ These are not edge cases. They are active threats evolving in production environments.
