A team of security experts have uncovered what looks like a Verizon database for saleHosted on the Clear Web forum, it purportedly contains records of 61 million Verizon usersDetails contained within the database suggests that it is as recent as 2025A new report by cybersecurity researchers at SafetyDetectives has revealed a huge dataset posted online by hackers in a CSV/JSON file containing a total of 3.1GB, reportedly totalling around 61 million ‘Verizon USA’ records. The author has dated this information as ‘2025’ which suggests a potential new data breach.The information exposed includes sensitive data including names, dates of birth, tax IDs, addresses, and phone numbers. This, like most breaches, puts those affected at a serious risk of identity theft - so if you are concerned you may be at risk, make sure to take a look at the best identity theft protection software.Verizon is a telecommunications giant, and has almost 150 million subscribers - making it the largest wireless carrier in the United States.Save up to 68% on identity theft protection for TechRadar readers! TechRadar editors praise Aura's upfront pricing and simplicity. Aura also includes a password manager, VPN, and antivirus to make its security solution an even more compelling deal.Preferred partner (What does this mean?)View DealWhat you need to knowIt’s not clear yet where this information comes from, if this is a new breach researchers have uncovered, or even if the data does really belong to Verizon customers, although the researchers confirm that this ‘does seem legit’. TechRadar Pro did reach out to Verizon to confirm, but is yet to receive a reply.This comes not long after a huge breach of over 16 billion records was discovered in an ‘unimaginable’ incident - most likely originating from infostealer malware. Unencrypted databases are also a very common cause of data leaks and archives often leave companies and customers exposed - although this may not necessarily be the case in the Verizon breach.Data breaches are becoming increasingly common, with almost a third of enterprises experiencing a breach despite increased cybersecurity investments. You can see whether your information is affected using the popular breach checking website HaveIBeenPwned?How to stay safeAs well as identity theft protection software, customers can keep themselves secure by being ultra cautious of any unexpected communications, thoroughly checking any emails and texts they receive, and never clicking on any untrusted links.Make sure to use safe and secure passwords that you rotate regularly - and never reuse a password, especially on sites that hold sensitive data like health, financial, or personal information.If criminals have access to personally identifiable information, there’s a chance they can apply for loans/credit cards in the victim’s name too - so consider deploying the best credit monitoring services if you’re affected.You might also likeTake a look at our picks for the best malware removal software aroundCheck out our choice for best antivirus software"No evidence" - here's why the massive 16 billion record data breach may not be as bad as first thought

It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

ClickFix is increasingly being used to install infostealersThe attack vector saw a 500% rise over the past 6 monthsUsers are told to run commands in Powershell to fix an errorUse of the ClickFix attack vector has shot up by 517% since the second half of 2024, making it the second most abused attack vector behind phishing.The attack uses a fake reCAPTCHA to trick users into running code in a Powershell terminal as a ‘fix’ to a fake error.This causes malware and infostealers to be downloaded and executed on the target device, which then harvest and extract sensitive data back to the hackers.Infostealers on the riseESET’s H2 2025 Threat Report explains how ClickFix is being abused by hackers to distribute some of the most popular infostealing malware, including Lumma Stealer, VidarStealer, StealC, and Danabot.The attack vector is so effective as it relies on using very simple instructions to trick users into running complex commands in the Powershell terminal. Many users will simply ignore or not understand the commands they are running, instead focusing on trying to fix the error.ClickFix is usually distributed through phishing emails that will direct the user to a fake website that will require reCAPTCHA verification to access. Powershell commands often bypass antivirus software, making it a particularly effective way to compromise devices especially if the hacker can get the user to do it for them.In other infostealer news, ESET’s Threat Report shows that SnakeStealer has overtaken Agent Tesla as the most detected infostealer. SnakeStealer was spotted being used in a massive campaign that targeted hundreds of US and EU businesses to steal credentials.Ransomware gangs experienced an unexpectedly tumultuous period thanks to infighting and rivalries between different ransomware outfits. The DragonForce group launched a spree of defacement campaigns against some of the most infamous ransomware groups including BlackLock, Mamona, and ransomware-as-a-service giant RansomHub.While there have been significant law enforcement operations against ransomware groups over the past several months, including the 8base seizure, it seems that rivalries have caused the most damage to the ransomware ecosystem.On the phones front, the recent spate of Kaleidoscope infections have pushed Android adware detections up by 160%. Malware being distributed through official app stores isn’t anything new, with the recent SparkKitty malware being distributed through both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.However, the Kaleidoscope malware used a twin-pronged attack method by running intrusive ads on the target device to generate advertising revenue, while also infecting the target devices with a malicious twin app that is downloaded via a third party app store.“From novel social engineering techniques to sophisticated mobile threats and major infostealer disruptions, the threat landscape in the first half of 2025 was anything but boring,” said Jiří Kropáč ESET Director of Threat Prevention Labs.You might also likeKeep your device free from infection with the best antivirus softwareThe best password managers will keep your credentials secureBritish man behind ‘IntelBroker’ hacker group charged with stealing millions

Season 3 finale spoilers notwithstanding, it appears the games will continue in-universe. Netflix is also readying us for season 2 of real-world reality series Squid Game: The Challenge, too. – Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writerWatch Squid Game season 3 on NetflixIronheart (Disney+)Marvel's latest live-action TV Original Ironheart has had a complicated development cycle. It was conceived as a movie, reworked into a show, has been ready to go for almost two years, and is now seemingly being rushed out of the door in two chapters comprising three episodes apiece. Read my ronheart release schedule article and exclusive on why it's taken so long for Ironheart to come out for more details.Still, I think its long-overdue Disney+ debut was just about worth the wait. My Ironheart review will tell you more about what I liked (and didn't like) about it. Based on the common consensus around this MCU TV Original, though, Ironheart might struggle to book a spot on our best Disney+ shows list – and that's coming from someone (i.e. me) who didn't loathe it! – TPWatch Ironheart on Disney+The Bear season 4 (Hulu/Disney+)Now that we've got those appetizers out the way, it's time for the main course – in my opinion! – and that's the return of The Bear, aka one of the best Hulu shows (in the US) and best Disney+ shows (internationally).I've been patiently waiting for The Bear season 4 for a year now, so season 4's premiere on Hulu and Disney+ is a big deal for me. I haven't watch every episode yet, but what I've seen so far is another captivating installment.The new season has a packed menu filled with standout performances, heart-pounding tension, and lots of chaos for good measure.

It was supposed to be the answer to IT’s flexibility dilemma. Hybrid cloud, with its blend of on-premises control and public cloud scalability, gave businesses the agility to respond to new demands without overhauling infrastructure. But what started as a strategic advantage has, for many CISOs, evolved into a patchwork of fragmented tools, siloed teams and visibility gaps.The result is an increasingly difficult environment to secure. And the solution isn’t just more technology. It’s a rethink of how CISOs lead in a hybrid world.Why the old playbook no longer worksIn traditional data centers, security was built around well-defined perimeters. The rise of cloud computing forced a shift to more distributed security models. But hybrid cloud has created something altogether more complex — an environment where workloads move between clouds, teams manage different platforms, and security responsibilities blur across IT, DevOps and compliance.This complexity undermines many of the assumptions baked into earlier security strategies. Tools that worked well in isolated environments struggle to deliver unified protection across platforms. Policies become inconsistent. Incident response slows down. Most concerning of all, blind spots develop — not out of negligence, but out of an inability to see and manage everything at once.The challenge isn’t visibility. It’s integrationMany security leaders have responded by investing in more observability tools. But even with best-in-class dashboards and alerts, visibility alone doesn’t equal security. It’s not what you can see that protects your environment, but how quickly and intelligently you can act.That’s where integration becomes essential. Security needs to be embedded into the fabric of hybrid infrastructure, not added on after deployment. This means consolidating policy controls, enabling workload portability without security drift, and ensuring that response actions can be automated and orchestrated across environments.It also means designing security to work with the business, not against it. Hybrid strategies are often driven by performance or cost optimization goals. When security becomes a bottleneck, teams find workarounds, and that’s when risk increases.Leadership starts with simplificationThe most effective CISOs today are not simply technologists. They are architects of simplification. Instead of trying to manage complexity through sheer effort, they look for ways to reduce it at the source.This might mean consolidating infrastructure platforms to reduce the number of control points. It could involve standardizing security policies across cloud and on-prem environments. It often requires working more closely with enterprise architects and business leaders to design security in from the beginning, rather than retrofitting it later.Partnerships that bring infrastructure and security closer together can play a pivotal role here. For example, when hybrid cloud platforms are tightly integrated with next-generation firewall capabilities, CISOs gain more than visibility. They gain a consistent, policy-driven approach to security that travels with workloads, automates enforcement, and simplifies day-to-day operations.Bringing security closer to the workloadRather than layering security tools on top of an existing environment, an integrated approach embeds protection directly into the virtual network fabric, enabling precise control over how applications and data communicate across both public and private clouds.Through virtual private cloud (VPC) capabilities, organizations can isolate and secure multitenant environments with greater confidence. This alignment offers a practical path forward for CISOs aiming to implement zero-trust principles.Policies based on user identity, application behavior and contextual risk can be applied consistently, regardless of whether workloads reside in a data center or a hybrid multicloud setup. Continuous verification, least-privileged access, and deep threat inspection all become easier to manage when security is embedded at the infrastructure layer.Importantly, this model supports automation. Using policy tags and centralized tools such as Palo Alto Networks Panorama, teams can manage firewall deployments across environments and streamline security operations within CI/CD pipelines. It’s a significant step toward security that adapts as the business scales and a compelling example of how simplification and strategic integration can go hand in hand.From silos to synergy. A new operating modelWhat begins with tighter integration at the infrastructure level is now evolving into broader operational change. Organizations are starting to move away from fragmented roles and responsibilities. Instead of separate cloud and data center teams, some are creating platform teams that manage hybrid environments as a whole. And rather than relying on a patchwork of point security products, they are turning to solutions that bring networking, security and operations into a cohesive, centrally managed layer.This improves efficiency and makes it possible to apply zero trust principles more effectively. When identities, workloads and data flows are managed consistently, the attack surface shrinks — not because there are fewer threats, but because there are fewer gaps to exploit.Crucially, these organizations are moving from reactive security to proactive resilience. That’s the real goal in a hybrid world. You cannot prevent every breach, but you can design systems to detect, contain and recover more effectively. That’s what gives the business confidence to move faster without sacrificing safety.Rethinking the role of the CISOHybrid cloud is becoming more entrenched as organizations balance cost, performance and regulatory demands. For CISOs, the new burning question is how to lead with hybrid cloud in a way that makes it secure by design.This starts by embracing simplification, fostering collaboration, and embedding security into every layer of hybrid operations. It’s not easy. But it’s also not optional. Because in today’s environment, complexity is the greatest vulnerability, and clarity is the most powerful defense.We've featured the best productivity.This article was produced as part of TechRadarPro's Expert Insights channel where we feature the best and brightest minds in the technology industry today.
