- Abstract: In today's digitally interconnected world, cybersecurity threats have reached
unprecedented levels, presenting a pressing concern for individuals,
organizations, and governments. This study employs a qualitative research
approach to comprehensively examine the diverse threats of cybersecurity and
their impacts across various sectors. Four primary categories of threats are
identified and analyzed, encompassing malware attacks, social engineering
attacks, network vulnerabilities, and data breaches. The research delves into
the consequences of these threats on individuals, organizations, and society at
large. The findings reveal a range of key emerging threats in cybersecurity,
including advanced persistent threats, ransomware attacks, Internet of Things
(IoT) vulnerabilities, and social engineering exploits. Consequently, it is
evident that emerging cybersecurity threats pose substantial risks to both
organizations and individuals. The sophistication and diversity of these
emerging threats necessitate a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity. This
approach should include robust security measures, comprehensive employee
training, and regular security audits. The implications of these emerging
threats are extensive, with potential consequences such as financial loss,
reputational damage, and compromised personal information. This study
emphasizes the importance of implementing effective measures to mitigate these
threats. It highlights the significance of using strong passwords, encryption
methods, and regularly updating software to bolster cyber defenses.

Multi-agent systems, when enhanced with Large Language Models (LLMs), exhibit profound capabilities in collective intelligence.
However, the potential misuse of this intelligence for malicious purposes presents significant risks.
We propose a framework (PsySafe) grounded in agent psychology, focusing on identifying how dark personality traits in agents can lead to risky behaviors.
Our experiments reveal several intriguing phenomena, such as the collective dangerous behaviors among agents, agents' self-reflection when engaging in dangerous behavior, and the correlation between agents' psychological assessments and dangerous behaviors.
