Your attack surface no longer lives on one operating system, and neither do the campaigns targeting it. In enterprise environments, attackers move across Windows endpoints, executive MacBooks, Linux infrastructure, and mobile devices, taking advantage of the fact that many SOC workflows are still fragmented by platform. For security leaders, this creates a

This week had real hits. The key software got tampered with. Active bugs showed up in the tools people use every day. Some attacks didn’t even need much effort because the path was already there. One weak spot now spreads wider than before. What starts small can reach a lot of systems fast. New bugs, faster use, less time to react. That’s this week. Read&

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Apr. 6, 2026In 2021, Nicole Perlroth wrote “This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race“, a New York Times Bestseller. The book won numerous awards, including the Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year.
Perlroth, Founding Partner at Silver Buckshot Ventures, and Venture Partner at Ballistic Ventures, has a LinkedIn tagline that reads ‘Was: Telling the story of cyber. Now: changing the story of cyber.’ To understand, Cybercrime Magazine met Perlroth at the RSAC Conference 2026 in San Francisco last month.
So, how exactly is Perlroth changing the story of cyber? Watch this video interview with Perlroth and Evan Pena, Founder and Chief Offensive Security Officer at Armadin, a hot startup with a record $190 million in seed funding that was raised in a round led by Accel. Google Ventures participated, along with Kleiner Perkins, Menlo Ventures, and Ballistic Ventures.
Silver Buckshot is a cyber moonshot fund backing next-generation cybersecurity solutions. In addition to Armadin, they are proud backer-believers of companies including: Alethea, Archer Faris, AuthMind, BreachRX, Descope, GetReal, Kibu, Manifest Cyber, Noma Security, Nozomi (now Mitsubishi), Reach Security, Realm Labs, Sublime, Talon (now Palo Alto Networks), Veza (Service Now), Witness AI, and Zip Security.
Although Perlroth has pivoted, if you want to know how the world ends, then you still need to read her book. It’s as relevant today as it was five years ago.
