A trivial surveillance password created an opening at one of the world’s most prominent institutions. Intruders gained awareness and timed their move because credential policy failed. This analysis delivers the signals, mitigations, and governance disciplines that stop repeats: rotation, MFA, segmentation, PAM for service accounts, and continuous validation for VMS and NVR stacks—without resorting to list spam or generic advice.
TruffleNet validates stolen AWS keys, profiles accounts, and abuses Amazon SES to run high-leverage BEC. Therefore, clamp down on access keys, isolate SES to a low-trust account, and alert on first-seen identity actions. Consequently, you deny validation, break pivots, and stop invoice fraud before it lands.
SIM farms expose how weak KYC and SMS OTP let fraud scale. Raids seized SIM boxes and tens of thousands of cards. Here’s how carriers and brands can actually fix it.
EDR-Redir V2 blinds Microsoft Defender by abusing Windows file-system filter drivers with bind links that redirect or corrupt EDR working paths. This practitioner’s guide explains the method, highlights reliable artifacts, and lists resilient mitigations so teams can validate exposure, restore telemetry, and protect Windows 11 fleets without breaking production.
Researchers tracked 1,330 suspicious domains impersonating 23 luxury brands ahead of peak shopping. Prepare for activation waves with monitoring, takedowns, and buyer guidance.
Agent session smuggling lets a hostile AI agent exploit a live multi-agent conversation, inherit tool authority, and trigger real actions. With scoped credentials, signed steps, and guarded workflows, teams can keep speed without losing control.
Attackers actively exploit a Linux kernel use-after-free. Patch quickly, reduce local attack surface, and verify coverage with high-signal detections and a weekly baseline review.
BADCANDY continues to compromise exposed Cisco IOS XE devices via CVE-2023-20198. Close the web UI exposure, patch now, rotate credentials, and verify eradication.
Game-themed extensions on a popular code editor pretended to add Pokémon or Minecraft flair for “vibe coders.” Instead, they executed malware on install, mined Monero, and attempted persistence. Consequently, teams should validate developer workstations, remove suspicious add-ons, rotate secrets, and harden marketplace policies before the next wave appears.
Attackers exploit CVE-2025-61932 in Lanscope Endpoint Manager clients to run code and move laterally. Patch MR/DA endpoints now and reduce internet exposure.
