Welcome to CyberHoot’s March Newsletter!
As cyber threats continue to evolve, staying informed is the first line of defense. This month’s newsletter highlights critical security risks that could impact individuals and organizations alike. From a severe Microsoft Outlook vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass security to phishing scams leveraging CAPTCHA tricks and malicious PDFs, cybercriminals are finding new ways to exploit trusted platforms.
We also explore the U.S. Navy’s decision to restrict DeepSeek AI, shedding light on the growing concerns around AI security, misinformation, and adversarial manipulation.
Read on to learn about these pressing cybersecurity threats, how they work, and, most importantly, how you can protect yourself and your organization from potential attacks.
