Cyber risk in manufacturing is more than just an IT/OT problem. It’s an identity problem. Doppel’s Manufacturing Threat Intelligence Brief found that credential leaks were the dominant signal across industrial and manufacturing threat activity. In April, credential leaks accounted for more than 92% of top-source activity. In May, they remained above 85%. Exposed credentials can serve as the starting point for supplier portal abuse, VPN and SSO access attempts, cloud account compromise, and worse, business email compromise, invoice redirection, and downstream intrusion. For manufacturers, the impact of a leak can affect distributed plants, contractors, logistics providers, suppliers, and remote support workflows. Check out the full brief to see the early warning signs you should know before exposed identity data turns into fraud. https://lnkd.in/gpcdPTV2

The future of cybersecurity belongs to AI-native organizations. Attackers are already operating at machine speed. They are automating reconnaissance, impersonation, phishing, and infrastructure creation across every channel where trust can be exploited. Defenders need to move just as fast. That requires more than adding AI into legacy workflows. It requires rebuilding how security teams operate from the ground up. At Doppel, we’re applying the same philosophy internally that powers our social engineering defense platform. Because outpacing AI-driven threats requires AI-native speed, autonomy, and precision.

AI isn’t just changing cyber threats, it’s accelerating them. As our CEO, Kevin Tian, puts it, the evolution of these attacks can be defined in three ways: velocity, volume, and variety. Attackers are coming faster, more often, and across more platforms than ever before. Organizations can no longer rely on siloed defenses focused on a single threat vector anymore. Security strategies need to evolve just as quickly as the attacks themselves, with platforms designed to address the full spectrum of these modern threats.

We’re excited to welcome software engineer, Vincent Chou, to the Doppel team! Vincent joins us from Roblox, where he worked on account security, building detection and friction against bad actors. Outside of work, Vincent enjoys wine tastings, bouldering, and gaming. Welcome to Doppel, Vincent! 🎉

Your reservation at the Doppel Hotel is waiting. Join us at Black Hat USA from Aug 4-6 and check in to a different kind of security experience. See how security teams are: • Detecting and disrupting impersonation campaigns • Building resilience against AI-powered social engineering • Fighting back against phishing infrastructure - not just detecting it You'll also get a first look at Doppel Email Security, our newest offering designed to help teams move beyond passive inbox detection and investigate the infrastructure behind phishing attacks. Want dedicated time with our team? Reserve a meeting before the show. 📍 Booth #3367 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gvxn_Shj No vacancy for deepfakes.

Dynamic QR codes are built for convenience. But that same convenience creates a new attack surface. Threat actors are hijacking the trusted redirection pathways behind these QR codes. A legitimate printed asset can stay untouched, and a trusted corporate domain can still appear safe. But when the redirect path is compromised, users can be silently routed to malicious infrastructure. That’s QR Jacking 2.0.

Your employees were trained to spot typos, so attackers moved to voice clones. AI-powered vishing turns social engineering into a live, high-pressure conversation. No bad links. No suspicious sender domain. No time to inspect the message. Just a synthetic executive voice pushing your help desk, finance team, or frontline employee to act fast. That changes the defense model. Security teams need to move beyond passive awareness training and build real behavioral muscle memory. Learn how here: https://lnkd.in/gJKS8--A

Blocking is the baseline. Disrupting is the goal. In his latest piece for The Hacker News, our Chief Strategy and Experience Officer Bobby Ford breaks down why modern social engineering can no longer be treated as a single-channel problem solved at the point of entry. Threat actors can now build convincing infrastructure at scale, launch across multiple channels, adapt lures in real time, and exploit trust before traditional controls ever see the full picture. That's why security teams need to move beyond blocking individual lures and start disrupting the social engineering attack chain itself.

Social engineering defense is full of problems that look simple…until you get close. Software Engineer Victor Luo sees that every day. The problems Doppel solves today look very different from the ones we were solving two years ago. That constant evolution is what keeps the work sharp.
