The vulnerability landscape shifted significantly in Q2 2026. First, the number of registered CVEs reached an unprecedented level. This is driven primarily by the widespread adoption of AI, both for application development and search for security flaws. This resulted in entire new classes of vulnerabilities emerging, particularly in the Linux networking subsystem. Second, security researchers have been publishing exploits for unpatched vulnerabilities more frequently. Publications like these…
Someone leaked footage of the upcoming game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 this month, and the game’s publisher badly wants to know who. It’s after a range of data about members of three Discord servers going back to June 1 this year in a bid to nail the perpetrator. Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind the GTA series, hit Microsoft and Discord with a subpoena on August 20. It’s demanding IP addresses, phone numbers, linked Google and Xbox accounts, and OneDrive contents of certain server…
As frontier models advance in cyber capability, their guardrails also become more restrictive. Defenders relying on these models to power core SOC processes cannot afford to pay the “safety penalty” of being blocked by these safeguards. Organizations should monitor model refusal rates and use the data to create a strategy to ensure operational sovereignty.The allure of the cloud and the hidden "safety penalty" Cybersecurity has made a big bet on cloud-hosted AI. Building and running frontier…
Internet je veliko mjesto gdje gotovo svatko može stvarati i dijeliti sadržaj. Zato je važno obratiti pozornost i razmisliti o sadržaju s kojim se susrećete. Prije nego što nešto kliknete, podijelite ili povjerujete, zastanite i razmislite tko je objavio sadržaj i zašto te je li istinit ili je osmišljen da vas navede na krivi trag. Najčešći oblici prijevara na internetu s kojima se možete susresti S početkom školske godine mogu se očekivati prijevare kao što su phishing poruke s navodnim važnim…

In every MFA rollout, there will come a time where you think you are closing in on "done", and some automation to list what's left would be handy. Something quicker than scrolling through the web interface through thousands of accounts ... This is that method. Also, remember when we discussed yesterday about the beta graph commands in the Microsoft.Graph.Beta library? We'll use one of those beta commands here! # import, if it's not already there Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Reports …
One thing that folks never seem to do after "going to the CLOOOOUUUUD" is to look at their logs, logs that they would have checked daily when things were on premise. One log that really bears looking at is the log of successful and failed logins. the call for that is: # import needed, if they're not already in place Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Reports # connect with the correct scope Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "AuditLog.Read.All", "Directory.Read.All" $f = Get-MgAuditLogSignIn Let's look at one…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. Hello friend. I’m Mick. This is my first Threat Source newsletter, so I should probably introduce myself before I start telling you all the things I think you should be paying attention to. With assistance from an unnamed LLM, my bio reads like this: Mick Baccio is a globally recognized security strategist with a career spanning offensive operations, threat intelligence, and national-level incident response. He currently advises…
Written by: Gabby Roncone, Wesley Shields Overview Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) is tracking three distinct suspected Russian cyber espionage threat clusters abusing legitimate authentication flows to target individuals working in academia, aerospace and defense, governments and think tanks across Europe, as well as academia and think tanks within the United States. Examples of these techniques can be found in our previous blog on UNC6293’s phishing operations. We now track an…
Building on the last diary on Using MS Graph and Powershell, let's look at "Risky" logins. Risky logins are a derived set of parameters that look at various (you guessed it) risky login parameters. What is considered a risk? In most cases this is either impossible geography - in other words "we're not expecting to see you at that IP, in that subnet, ASN or country", or unusual device - ie "that's not your regular computer" There are two groups of commands in this area. You can do Risk Detection…
Research by: Jiří Vinopal (@vinopaljiri) Abstract What if a trusted security component could be repurposed into an attacker-controlled kernel primitive? What if a signed Microsoft remediation driver could be instructed to execute arbitrary file and registry operations from Ring 0 – without exploits, vulnerabilities, or memory corruption? In this publication, we present the first full reverse engineering of the Windows Defender Boot-Time Removal driver (BTR.sys) and its proprietary transaction…
Microsoft Graph is a newer API that is meant to replace several others. OK, it's at version 2.3.9, so it's not all that new, but it's new enough that lots of folks (and commercial tools) aren't using it yet. It allows you to Get and Set info from/to M365, Entra Users and Entra managed machines for starters. Let's dig in! Let's start exploring just by dumping a user table: $AllUsers = Get-MgUser -All -Property Id, DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, AccountEnabled, SignInActivity | Where-Object { $_…

We identified a network of 41 websites impersonating popular games and Windows software, all designed to push visitors towards the same Download Studio installer. The sites advertise everything from Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Fallout, Roblox, PUBG, and The Witcher to VLC, 7-Zip, Paint.NET, VMware, Total Commander, and Foxit PDF. They go to surprising lengths to look convincing, using accurate product information, genuine developer resources, and even real download links. But the link you see…
Security teams are overwhelmed with findings but still struggle to answer a simple question: which risks matter right now? A vulnerability alone is rarely the problem. The same vulnerability running in production, exposed through a misconfiguration or over-permissioned identity, is a real path to compromise. Organizations do not need longer lists of alerts. They need context that connects code, cloud resources, identities, and runtime activity so they can prioritize the issues that pose the…
Microsoft has resolved a bug that caused Windows Defender to crash after a recent security update, resulting in 0xc0000005 access violation errors on some affected systems. [...]
Executive Summary CVE-2026-68820 is an actively exploited Windows vulnerability listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, with a remediation deadline as suggested by CISA BOD 26-04. CISA BOD 26-04 introduces risk-based remediation timelines ranging from 3 to 14 days, increasing the pressure on teams to move quickly from patch availability to verified remediation. Installing the patch alone does not complete remediation, as the fix replaces a kernel driver and requires…
