Quantum computing is no longer a distant possibility as it is rapidly becoming a reality. This technological shift poses a serious challenge to the cryptographic foundations that currently secure digital communications, transactions, and sensitive data. 

From 17 to 25 years old, Belgium’s national cyber team takes on Europe’s best at the ECSC, coached by experts from the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium.

Online investment fraud cost Belgians almost €15 million in the first half of 2025, according to new figures from the FSMA.

The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) is warning of a creative phishing attack believed to be via Booking.com and accounts of hotels and other accommodation providers. Cybercriminals are sending fake payment requests to guests with correct travel details. This makes them particularly credible and difficult to recognise.

The Center for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) warns organisations about serious vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint Server. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute remote code on unpatched SharePoint servers. This means that malicious actors can use it to gain unauthorised access to systems. This vulnerability is already being actively exploited.

The summer months are a favourite time for cybercriminals. With colleagues – including members of senior management – on holiday or working from home, internal communication is often less fluid. Fraudsters take advantage of this to impersonate a CEO or CFO and send urgent payment requests. The temporary absence of a colleague who would normally approve or verify the request makes the fraud more difficult to detect. CEO fraud is a well-planned scam that can affect any organisation, especially during the holiday season.

The increasing use of online recruitment platforms has created new vulnerabilities in terms of personal data security, with cybercriminals increasingly exploiting information exposed in CVs to carry out highly targeted phishing attacks.
