Jan. 1, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — In 2026, you are protected by a new generation of laws—specifically Article 86 of the EU AI Act and Article 22 of the UK/EU GDPR. These laws give you a “Right to Explanation” when a “high-risk” AI (the kind used in the AI Economy for jobs, loans, or insurance) makes a decision about you. Continue reading
Dec. 29, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The Cybersecurity Forecast 2026 report by Google Cloud examines the anticipated evolution of digital threats, primarily focusing on the transformative role of artificial intelligence. It describes how adversaries will increasingly use AI agents for automated attacks and sophisticated social engineering, while defenders will adopt similar technology to enhance security operations. Beyond AI, the analysis highlights the persistent danger of ransomware and the expansion of cybercrime into the blockchain and virtualisation sectors. The document also evaluates the strategic motivations of nation-state actors from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea as they pursue global espionage and disruption. Ultimately, the report serves as a guide for organisations to modernise their identity management and governance frameworks in response to these emerging risks. Continue reading

Dec. 02, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The Sumsub Fraud Report 2025-2026 focuses on the “Sophistication Shift,” which describes the fundamental change in identity fraud from high-volume, basic attempts to fewer, more targeted, and financially damaging AI-enabled operations. This shift is driven primarily by the industrialisation of deception via generative AI, leading to an explosion in deepfakes and highly realistic synthetic identities across all major digital ecosystems. The analysis provides comprehensive regional breakdowns for Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and North America, demonstrating that even in markets where overall fraud rates are stabilising, the remaining attacks are significantly more complex and harder to detect.

Nov. 25, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — A multi-million-dollar contract between NATO and Google Cloud for a secure, AI-enabled sovereign cloud solution involves the NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) selecting Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped to modernise its infrastructure, specifically supporting the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC). The purpose of using GDC air-gapped is to ensure uncompromised data residency, operational control, and high security for classified workloads, as this technology operates in completely disconnected environments. Both parties emphasise that this collaboration will significantly accelerate NATO’s digital modernisation efforts and enable the organisation to securely harness advanced AI and cloud capabilities. The Chief Technology Officer of NCIA confirmed that partnering with industry is vital for NATO’s digital transformation, allowing them to create a resilient and scalable cloud environment for highly sensitive data.

The report provided by VIPRE Security Group concerning their Q3 2025 Email Threat Landscape Report, which details how cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to bypass traditional email defences. The report reveals that commercial clutter makes up the largest proportion of email volume and is intentionally used to desensitise users, enabling malicious emails like phishing attempts to blend in. Key findings highlight that attackers frequently exploit compromised URLs or open redirects and are strategically targeting Outlook and Google mailboxes, which together constitute ninety per cent of observed phishing attacks. Furthermore, the report notes emerging technical trends such as the use of Fetch API for credential exfiltration and the abuse of Apple’s TestFlight platform to distribute malicious iOS applications, while acknowledging that geographic dispersion across spam-sending markets is making traditional IP blocking ineffective. Overall, the source stresses that organisations must adopt equally adaptive and layered defences to counter the evolving threat landscape. Continue reading
