AI tools are only as good as the data you give them. Using real data instead of well-phrased guesses is the next hurdle for business efficiency. Are you still treating AI as a separate step, or is it fully connected to your company data yet?

Adversary-in-the-Middle Attacks: How Phishing Sites Steal Your Active Login

You click a link, sign in, approve the MFA prompt, and get on with your day. Completely unaware that someone else just logged into your account at the same moment. That scenario surprises many businesses, particularly those that rely on multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect cloud accounts. But this is exactly how Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing attacks work. Rather than stealing passwords for later use, these attacks silently hijack an already-authenticated session in real time....

If a website ever tells you to press Windows Key + R, close the tab.

That single instruction is the giveaway for a fast-growing scam called ClickFix, which has been behind a wave of infostealer infections all year.

An infostealer is malware that scrapes every saved password, browser cookie, session token, and stored credit card...

You click a Google result that takes you to a hacked website.

A fake CAPTCHA pops up and tells you to press Windows Key + R, then Ctrl + V, then Enter to verify you're human.

The second you hit Enter, you've installed malware on your own machine.

This attack slips past most security tools because you run the command yourself.

No file was downloaded, so antivirus has nothing to scan.

The browser shows no warning.

From the operating system's perspective, you typed a command into a Windows utility, the same as any admin doing real work.

A few things you can do this week:

▶️ Tell your team that if any website prompts the user to press Win+R or paste something into the Run box, they should close the tab and report it.

▶️ Restrict PowerShell for non-IT staff using AppLocker or Windows Defender Application Control. Most office employees have no work reason to run PowerShell scripts.

▶️ Make sure your endpoint protection is doing behavioral monitoring and not just signature scanning. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and most modern EDR tools have detection rules specifically for this attack chain.

There's no shame in falling for a fake CAPTCHA. They're designed to look real. But once your team knows the keystroke trick, this scam stops working on them.

Automation is getting smarter by interpreting instructions rather than just following rigid rules. This means software can handle more complex tasks with less human oversight. What task in your workday are you most eager to automate?

The organizations that succeed in 2026 will be those that treat AI not as a separate capability but as something embedded within the fabric of legal work itself
