📊 CORTEX Protocol Intelligence:
New arXiv research (2510.02319) detects AI-generated text by measuring adversarial perturbations in token distributions—achieving >94% accuracy across GPT-4, Claude 3, and LLaMA 3. Universal detection method works on multilingual and code-mixed content.

CORTEX: Monitor for future enterprise AI-forensic applications in fraud detection and content integrity validation.

🚨 CORTEX Protocol Alert:
Zimbra zero-day (CVE-2025-27915) exploited via weaponized iCalendar files. Attackers hijack sessions + steal emails. Patch immediately.
CORTEX: revoke sessions, block .ICS, audit rules.
📰 CORTEX Protocol:
ParkMobile settles 2021 breach (22M users, 4.5GB database) with token $1 credits—but threat persists. Active phishing campaigns now impersonate settlement notices. CORTEX: Breach settlements don't end attack lifecycle. Organizations must maintain brand monitoring, push MFA adoption, minimize stored PII beyond legal closure.
📊 CORTEX Protocol Intelligence: AI model weight theft research — arXiv reveals covert exfiltration via timing channels, memory patterns & API manipulation.
Proof-of-concept threatens models worth $50-100M. Academic research, but techniques may inform future attacks.

📊 CORTEX Protocol Intelligence: Honeypots Suricata threat detection — Pen Test Partners reveal deception-based early warning system.

Methodology: Deploy honeypots mimicking vulnerable services, capture attacker TTPs, feed Suricata rules for production network hardening.
Implication: Converts reconnaissance into actionable intel before adversaries reach production systems.

📊 CORTEX Protocol Intelligence: MailItemsAccessed BEC investigation — NVISO method reveals what attackers read in M365 compromises.

Forensic logs show specific emails accessed: financial comms, HR records, contracts. Enables precise breach scoping vs. worst-case assumptions.
Implication: Transforms BEC response from binary access detection to intelligence-driven impact assessment.

⚠️ CORTEX Protocol Threat Intel: Oracle E-Business Suite extortion — Clop/FIN11 pivot to executive-level data extortion.

Stolen ERP credentials used to access financial records, contracts & communications. "Boardroom extortion" bypasses traditional defenses.

Critical risk for enterprises. Audit Oracle EBS access controls immediately.

🔴 CORTEX Protocol Advisory: Outlook SVG phishing block — Microsoft disables inline SVG rendering to stop credential theft campaigns.
SVG files weaponized for fake login pages & XSS attacks. Update blocks auto-display.
Action: Expect attacker pivot to HTML canvas, WebP & data URI schemes. Update email security policies.

🚨 Red Hat GitHub breach claim: 28,000 repos allegedly stolen by Crimson Collective—CI/CD secrets, blueprints & playbooks from banks, telecoms & U.S. Senate exposed.

CORTEX Analysis: High-impact supply chain exposure. Targeted intrusions imminent.

🚨 CORTEX Protocol Alert: Renault UK data breach — customer VINs, contact details & vehicle registration data stolen via third-party provider.

3rd automotive supply chain breach in 2025. No financial data exposed, but phishing/scam risk elevated.

Vehicle owners: Watch for fake recall & warranty scam attempts.
