Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new variant ofmalware called Chaosthat'scapable of hitting misconfigured cloud deployments, marking an expansion of the botnet's targeting infrastructure. "Chaos malware is increasingly targeting misconfigured cloud deployments, expanding beyond its tradition
An apparent hack-for-hire campaign likely orchestrated by a threat actor with suspected ties to the Indian government targeted journalists, activists, and government officials across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), according to findings from Access Now, Lookout, and SMEX. Two of the targets
Threat actors have been exploiting a previously unknown zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Reader using maliciously crafted PDF documents since at least December 2025. The finding, detailed by EXPMON's Haifei Li, has been described as a highly-sophisticated PDF exploit. The artifact ("Invoice540.pdf")
As AI tools become more accessible, employees are adopting them without formal approval from IT and security teams. While these tools may boost productivity, automate tasks, or fill gaps in existing workflows, they also operate outside the visibility of security teams, bypassing controls and creatin
Thursday. Another week, another batch of things that probably should've been caught sooner but weren't. This one's got some range — old vulnerabilities getting new life, a few "why was that even possible" moments, attackers leaning on platforms and tools you'd normally trust without thinking twice.
A previously undocumented threat cluster dubbed UAT-10362 has been attributed to spear-phishing campaigns targeting Taiwanese non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and suspected universities to deploy a new Lua-based malware called LucidRook. "LucidRook is a sophisticated stager that embeds a Lua in
Details have emerged about a now-patched security vulnerability in a widely used third-party Android software development kit (SDK) called EngageLab SDK that could have put millions of cryptocurrency wallet users at risk. "This flaw allows apps on the same device to bypass Android security sandbox a
Unknown threat actors have hijacked the update system for the Smart Slider 3 Pro plugin for WordPress and Joomla to push a poisoned version containing a backdoor. The incident impacts Smart Slider 3 Pro version 3.5.1.35 for WordPress, per WordPress security company Patchstack. Smart Slider 3 is a po
Google has made Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) generally available to all Windows users of its Chrome web browser, months after it began testing the security feature in open beta. The public availability is currently limited to Windows users on Chrome 146, with macOS expansion planned in an
Threat actors are exploiting a maximum-severity security flaw in Flowise, an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) platform, according to new findings from VulnCheck. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-59528 (CVSS score: 10.0), a code injection vulnerability that could result in remote cod
A China-based threat actor known for deploying Medusa ransomware has been linked to the weaponization of a combination of zero-day and N-day vulnerabilities to orchestrate "high-velocity" attacks and break into susceptible internet-facing systems. "The threat actor's high operational tempo and profi
New academic research has identified multiple RowHammer attacks against high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) that could be exploited to escalate privileges and, in some cases, even take full control of a host. The efforts have been codenamed GPUBreach, GDDRHammer, and GeForge. GPUBreach
When talking about credential security, the focus usually lands on breach prevention. This makes sense when IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report puts the average cost of a breach at $4.4 million. Avoiding even one major incident is enough to justify most security investments, but that headline fi
An active campaign has been observed targeting internet-exposed instances running ComfyUI, a popular stable diffusion platform, to enlist them into a cryptocurrency mining and proxy botnet. "A purpose-built Python scanner continuously sweeps major cloud IP ranges for vulnerable targets, automaticall
A high-severity security vulnerability has been disclosed in Docker Engine that could permit an attacker to bypass authorization plugins (AuthZ) under specific circumstances. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-34040 (CVSS score: 8.8), stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-41110, a maximum-se
In the rapid evolution of the 2026 threat landscape, a frustrating paradox has emerged for CISOs and security leaders: Identity programs are maturing, yet the risk is actually increasing. According to new research from the Ponemon Institute, hundreds of applications within the typical enterprise rem
The Russia-linked threat actor known as APT28 (aka Forest Blizzard) has been linked to a new campaign that has compromised insecure MikroTik and TP-Link routers and modified their settings to turn them into malicious infrastructure under their control as part of a cyber espionage campaign since at l
Iran-affiliated cyber actors are targeting internet-facing operational technology (OT) devices across critical infrastructures in the U.S., including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), cybersecurity and intelligence agencies warned Tuesday. "These attacks have led to diminished PLC functionality
The North Korea-linked persistent campaign known as Contagious Interview has spread its tentacles by publishing malicious packages targeting the Go, Rust, and PHP ecosystems. "The threat actor's packages were designed to impersonate legitimate developer tooling [...], while quietly functioning as ma
Artificial Intelligence (AI) company Anthropic announced a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing that will use a preview version of its new frontier model, Claude Mythos, to find and address security vulnerabilities. The model will be used by a small set of organizations, including A
