Cybercrime is scaling faster than legitimate business!

According to RDCS, cybercrime is projected to cost the world $10.5 trillion by 2025 — growing at 15% per year, while cybersecurity spending lags behind by nearly 50x.

That means, if cybercrime were a country, it would have the third-largest economy in the world, behind only the U.S. and China.

AI is accelerating this imbalance — automating attacks, generating hyper-personalized phishing campaigns, and helping criminals breach networks at scale. Small and mid-sized businesses are paying the price:

60% close within six months of a breach
Average losses top $25,000 per incident
92% have no dedicated cybersecurity budget

At this rate, the “digital divide” isn’t just about access — it’s about defense.
The future of business security will depend on AI-powered protection that keeps up with AI-powered crime.

Salesforce AI Hack Exposes a Bigger Problem!

Noma Security’s discovery of ForcedLeak, a prompt injection attack that targeted Salesforce’s Agentforce platform, shows just how quickly attackers are adapting to exploit AI-powered systems.

Here’s what happened:
- A malicious payload slipped into Salesforce’s Web-to-Lead forms could trick AI agents into exfiltrating sensitive CRM data.
- An expired, trusted Salesforce domain left the door open for attackers to quietly receive that data.
-The attack had a high chance of going undetected.

This incident is a warning: as enterprises integrate AI agents into critical workflows, they are also multiplying their attack surface. CRM data, customer trust, and brand reputation all hang in the balance.

At KATSH.ID, we see the lesson clearly: identity and access management must evolve in sync with AI adoption. Securing the digital economy requires trusted, fraud-resistant digital identities that keep both people and machines in check.

The AI-driven economy will only thrive if digital identities are trusted, resilient, and fraud-resistant. That’s the future KATSH.ID is building.

The U.S. Secret Service recently dismantled a massive SIM server network in the New York tristate area, seizing over 300 devices and 100,000 SIM cards. This network was capable of carrying out anonymous threats, disrupting cell towers, enabling denial-of-service attacks, and facilitating covert communication between nation-state actors and criminal enterprises. The operation coincided with the UN General Assembly, highlighting the potential for serious disruption to critical telecommunications.

KATSH.ID Insights:
This incident underscores how fragile our communication infrastructure remains and how identity is at the core of both the threat and the solution. Criminals and nation-state actors exploit anonymity to launch large-scale attacks, proving once again that static systems and weak verification methods are not enough. At KATSH.ID, we believe future security lies in strong, verifiable digital identities that remove anonymity for bad actors while preserving trust and privacy for individuals and organizations.

The Salesloft Drift breach is a wake-up call!

Mandiant’s investigation confirmed attackers stole OAuth tokens and used them to access Salesforce, Slack, AWS, and more, affecting companies from Cloudflare to Palo Alto Networks.

The lesson?
Tokens = risk. Once stolen, they grant attackers the same trust as the app itself.

KATSH.ID Insights: Unlike token-based systems, KATSH.ID eliminates this risk by tying identity directly to the individual, not to credentials or access tokens that can be stolen.

Hackers Exploit OAuth Weaknesses in Latest Jaguar Land Rover Breach

Hackers linked to Scattered Spider and Lapsus$ have claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover, disrupting production and sales. The group shared evidence on Telegram and is reportedly attempting to extort the company. This attack follows a series of breaches across UK retailers earlier this year, many of which exploited stolen credentials and OAuth tokens.

KATSH.ID Insight:�This incident underscores how vulnerable traditional, token-based authentication methods remain. Once an OAuth token is stolen, attackers can move freely inside systems without raising alarms. At KATSH.ID, we’ve built a different model, one that eliminates reliance on credentials and tokens altogether. By tying authentication directly to a verified individual through KATSH.ID, we remove one of the most common entry points for large-scale breaches.

AI is no longer just a tool for productivity—it’s now a weapon for deception.

This week, a 66-year-old woman in California lost her home and life savings after falling victim to a romance scam powered by AI deepfakes. Scammers used hyperrealistic video and voice cloning to impersonate an actor, manipulating her into sending more than $400,000.

The lesson isn’t just about one tragic case. It’s about how AI fraud is evolving faster than society’s defenses, exploiting human trust at scale. Cybersecurity must now go beyond protecting data; it has to protect identity itself.

At KATSH.ID, we believe the future of security lies in building digital identities that can’t be faked, cloned, or manipulated.

From Cars to Credentials: Why Identity Is the Master Key

TechCrunch recently reported that a security researcher uncovered critical flaws in a major carmaker’s dealership portal. These vulnerabilities could have allowed attackers to create admin accounts, access sensitive customer and financial data, track vehicles, and even remotely unlock cars.

The discovery is a reminder that as cars, homes, and financial platforms become more connected, weak authentication creates cascading risks. In this case, a single oversight in identity management exposed more than 1,000 dealerships across the United States.

It is becoming increasingly clear that securing digital systems is no longer just about protecting devices, but about protecting identities at the core. At KATSH.ID, we believe solving identity at its foundation is the key to preventing breaches like this and building the trust the digital economy depends on.

Important News: A recent data breach potentially exposed Social Security numbers and other sensitive information for millions of people. The hacking group USDoD claims to have stolen records of 2.9 billion individuals from National Public Data, a Florida-based background check company. These records reportedly include names, addresses, relatives, and Social Security numbers dating back over 30 years. The data, first put up for sale on the dark web for $3.5 million in April 2024, has since been leaked for free by a hacker in August. National Public Data has yet to confirm the breach, but advises caution.

A lawsuit revealed that hackers breached Jerico Pictures Inc., doing business as National Public Data, exposing the personal data of 2.9 billion people. The stolen information, including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, was posted for sale on the dark web in April. Many affected individuals are unaware of the breach, which is one of the largest ever, rivaling Yahoo's 2013 incident. National Public Data has not yet commented on the situation.
