Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. For my fianceé’s 30th birthday, I took her on a weekend trip to Shenandoah National Park – a favorite of ours since we went to a wedding there several years back. We’ve done several incredible hikes over the years, but one in particular had always loomed over my head: Old Rag, a 9.3 mile circuit hike that’s largely considered the most difficult in Virginia. I've always been warned that at the beginning and end, you hate Old Rag.…

For years, the cyber security industry tracked AI as a force multiplier: something that made existing attack techniques faster, cheaper, and more accessible. That framing was accurate. But the Annual AI Security Report 2026 from Check Point Research documents a transition that goes further. AI has crossed from assistant to operator. Where it once helped attackers prepare, it now runs the operation. Key observed findings AI has crossed from development aid to live attack operator. It now does…
Executive Summary SentinelLABS has been tracking sustained cyberespionage activity against several Pakistani law enforcement organizations, taking place from February 2024 to April 2026. All these actors converged on Balochistan Police over this period, bringing both a partner and an adversary of Pakistan to the same police force in a province shaped by a separatist insurgency and the regional tensions it has drawn in. At Balochistan Police, the compromised assets included servers hosting web…
Written by: Shebin Mathew Introduction The "Golden SAML" technique, first described by CyberArk researchers in 2017, and further detailed by Mandiant researchers in 2021, remains one of the most effective methods for threat actors to forge identity assertions in the Microsoft ecosystem. By obtaining the private key of an ADFS token-signing certificate, an attacker can authenticate as any user to any SAML-federated application, bypassing multifactor authentication (MFA), conditional access, and…
