Cybercriminals are stuffing infostealer malware into bogus apps aimed at tracking gas prices, police activity, drone strikes and other information of concern to average Russians, researchers said.
Flashpoint's new guide examines how modern ransomware attacks unfold, from initial access to recovery, and the intelligence security teams need to disrupt attacks at every stage. The post Ransomware in the Age of AI: How Defenders Can Break the Attack Chain appeared first on Flashpoint.
AI is widening the attack surface of the critical infrastructure facilities and services that state, local, and education (SLED) organizations run. In the final post of our Cybersecurity Awareness Month series, we explain how a whole-of-state security approach can help SLED agencies protect their critical infrastructure.Key takeawaysBecause cyber attackers prey on under-resourced targets, they often go after SLED org…
Australia’s cyber security authority responded to 1,524 cyber security incidents in the 2025-26 financial year, a 20% increase from the previous year and a 36% rise over five years. The latest Annual Cyber Threat Report shows that phishing, compromised accounts, unpatched systems, ransomware and data theft remain the main operational pressures. Artificial intelligence is increasing […]
Arctic Wolf warned that the function enables highly effective social engineering attacks, which lead to incidents such as ransomware
The North Korea-linked Lazarus Group has been attributed to a cyber espionage campaign dubbed Operation FlashHole targeting at least three organizations in South Korea spanning the construction, software, and wire-communication equipment manufacturing sectors. According to Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky, the campaign has been active since at least July 2025. It's assessed to pick up
An Alibaba AI model generated an unexpected command to upload data to a Beijing-region cloud storage service during a cybersecurity evaluation, rival developer Cohere said, raising concerns about the security of AI agents with access to enterprise systems. The model, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, was being tested using Microsoft’s CTI-REALM cybersecurity benchmark, which tasked it with writing a rule to detect malicious file d…
Interesting research: “AI Models Can Provably Hide Arbitrary Capabilities” Abstract: Capability evaluations aim to surface dangerous model behaviors before deployment, but their reliability depends on the assumption that hidden capabilities can be elicited. We show this assumption does not hold under adversarial conditions by constructing backdoor attacks that embed encrypted neural networks within host model weights…
A China-linked ransomware crew disabled the security tools at a critical infrastructure operator before it launched the encryptor. Most security budgets never priced that in. The post What happens when security tools go dark before the ransomware appeared first on CyberScoop.

A criminal using the Amadey malware can no longer access or steal data from 180,000 infected computers around the world, including some in Australia, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) says. The agency's operators gained access to the criminal's operation's backend and cut it off from those computers. "The next steps that we took were to disconnect that Amadey controller from all those
The median blast radius of data breaches has increased year-on-year at the same time cybercriminals have begun using AI to mine stolen datasets for damaging information that enables follow-on fraud and cyberattacks. In 2026, the median breach exposed 542 organizations beyond the initially breached victim, according to a study by exposed data intelligence platform Lab 1. This compares to the median blast radius of a b…
Cybersecurity research firm Xint on Monday published details of a bug in the OpenAI API that leaks raw reasoning traces from frontier OpenAI models, revealing the risk of other data leaks. OpenAI has confirmed the flaw, mitigated it, and paid a bug bounty for its discovery. The problem is that OpenAI had already deployed mitigations for the issue in August after a research report dubbed Stolen Thoughts revealed a sim…
Payload blobs measuring 12.9 to 13.7 MB were large enough to evade GitHub code search
Sansec tracks a Magento skimmer campaign that infected 953 stores, using five domains, bot filtering and malicious code hidden in CMS blocks. A criminal group has infected 953 online stores since July 2025, mostly Magento shops, according to Sansec researchers. The attackers add a small piece of code to store pages. When someone visits a […]
Tammy Harper, Senior Threat Intelligence Researcher Walking around Strasbourg during Underground Economy, I found myself thinking about the businesses as much as the buildings. Behind every restaurant storefront, there is work the customer never sees: someone supplies it, someone pays for it, and the business survives on whatever is left over. It made me wonder […] The post Who Pays When AI Makes Cybercrime Cheaper?…
Last week, researchers at Citizen Lab revealed a horrifying new malware campaign, dubbed “AdFection.” It used an ad network to distribute spyware to journalist’s devices to infect them without the target ever needing to click anything. This sort of attack on journalists is dangerous and incredibly concerning, especially since it’s built on the backbone of a technology we already object to: behavioral advertising. Alt…
Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to what they say is a "recurring social engineering pattern" across hundreds of cases in which threat actors use Microsoft Teams' external chat creation feature to conduct impersonation scams or to deliver malware. "A consistent pattern of attacker behavior has emerged across these incidents: the use of the same throwaway tenants, the same 'IT
Dutch police arrest two men over AI-voiced bank fraud that allegedly used a fake app to steal card data from 170 victims, causing €380,000 in losses. Rotterdam police have arrested two men over a new type of bank fraud that used AI-generated phone calls, a fake banking app, and NFC technology to steal bank card […]

Booking.com's systems were never breached. Its name was. Storm-1865 spent months borrowing Booking.com's identity to get into hotel computers, and every step of that borrowing left traces on the open internet. The open internet is exactly where Cyble Brand Intelligence & Protection works. Walk through the campaign one step at a time, and at each step there is a point where it could have spotted the attacker, cut the…
Malicious instruction files planted in a computer’s Downloads folder can trick AI coding agents into executing harmful code or exposing authentication tokens, Forever Security said after blocking an attempted attack on a customer’s machine and demonstrating similar techniques against OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code. In its research report, the firm said it discovered a malicious AGENTS.md file in a custome…
A rentable Android spyware kit called uCreator takes over Telegram and WeChat accounts by hiding its code inside working copies of the two apps, researcher Ovi found. It only reaches people who install one of these tampered copies, spread outside the official app stores, or who run WeChat inside the kit makers' own container app. The kit's Telegram part matches Baohuo, a backdoor that Doctor
Cybercriminals don’t need AI to compromise an organization, but AI is making its way into classic attack methods and changing how quickly such attacks can progress. Tasks that once required attackers to manually sift through information and piece together how an organization operates can be accelerated by AI, reducing the time defenders have to detect and intervene. A recent example of this is EvilTokens, a phishing-…
A malicious instruction file sitting in a developer's Downloads folder tried to make their AI coding agent install a known-malicious npm package, security firm Forever Security said in a report published last week. The company caught the attempt on a real customer's machine and stopped the agent before any code ran. It could not determine how the file got into the folder. The file

If you use the internet at all, you may have noticed that a large percentage of sites suddenly went down earlier this week—and all your nerdiest friends were talking about "The Vulnerability Apocalypse” and this thing called PHP that powers nearly 70% of the websites on the internet. You may find yourself wondering: what is PHP, what just happened, what is the vulnerability apocalypse, and what do I need to do? To fi…
Threat actors don't need to rely on malware to breach organizations anymore. They're simply calling help desks and politely asking for access, with a little help from artificial intelligence.
