Most business email compromise (BEC) attacks start with stolen credentials, not a malicious email. Group-IB uses threat intelligence to detect compromised accounts before attackers log in — predicting BEC before it starts.
Elastic Security Labs found a new Contagious Interview campaign, tracked as REF9403, hiding malware inside SVG image files using steganography. To our knowledge, this specific infection chain has not been previously documented. We found it after the DPRK-aligned group targeted our own community Slack workspace with a fake job posting and a "coding challenge" project. Any user who ran the project ended up with a four-stage payload aligned with OTTERCOOKIE: a browser credential and crypto wallet…
Written by: Corné de Jong Introduction Mandiant security assessments frequently identify publicly exposed serverless applications that lack authentication, often as a result of specific business requirements. Serverless deployments typically run custom-developed code that incorporates third-party packages, making them targets for a wide range of application-level attacks, including: Local and Remote File Inclusion (LFI/RFI) Command Injection Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can…
Two Microsoft 365 attacks got through Conditional Access policies that seemed fully configured. Learn what went wrong and how Huntress Managed ISPM catches these gaps first.
Huntress explains lateral movement attacks, how attackers move through networks, common techniques like pass-the-hash, and how Managed EDR stops lateral movement.

[VDE-2026-046] Vulnerable components expose sensitive information to unauthorized actors through an unsecured configuration interface. Vulnerable firmware releases contain an unsecured configuration interface that allows retrieval of sensitive information such as hashed credentials. It was found that users with no or low rights can access information from devices that should not be available to them. An attacker can use this information to impersonate authorized users.
Move past basic credential harvesting. Discover how modern attackers use ClickFix, BitB, and OAuth consent phishing—and how to train your users with Huntress SAT.
AAD Graph Activity Logs are now ingestible into Elastic and usable for threat detection within the SIEM/XDR solution. That sentence shouldn't be exciting, but it is. For most of the past decade, this slice of telemetry simply didn't exist as a customer-accessible log stream. Microsoft Graph Activity Logs (the modern graph.microsoft.com surface) went GA in April 2024. The legacy graph.windows.net surface, the one adversary tooling actually hits, stayed dark until early 2026. This post walks the…
Questo CSIRT ha recentemente rilevato la diffusione di un dataset riconducibile a una campagna denominata “FortiBleed”, contenente informazioni associate a dispositivi Fortinet/FortiGate esposti su Internet e utilizzati per l’accesso remoto tramite SSL-VPN.
[Advisory2026-08_VDE-2026-056] The CODESYS Control runtime system provides a user management mechanism with multiple privilege groups including the visualization administrators group, which is intended solely to manage visualization users. Due to insufficient authorization checks an authenticated remote user with low-privileged visualization administrator access can delete higher-privileged accounts. However, independent mechanisms protect the deletion of the last remaining device admin user,…
Huntress Managed ISPM finds and closes Microsoft 365 identity gaps before attackers do. Learn why visibility isn't enough and what real identity hardening takes.
On June 10, 2026, we released versions 19.0.2, 18.11.5, 18.10.8 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). These versions contain important bug and security fixes, and we strongly recommend that all self-managed GitLab installations be upgraded to one of these versions immediately. GitLab.com is already running the patched version. GitLab Dedicated customers do not need to take action. GitLab releases fixes for vulnerabilities in patch releases. There are two types of patch…
Resilience, identity, and practical AI led the conversation at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026. Here are five key takeaways security leaders should act on.

Tycoon 2FA is currently the most prolific Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform among AiTM phishing kits. First observed in August 2023 and attributed to Storm-1747 (per Microsoft Threat Intelligence), the kit provides turnkey adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) capabilities that bypass multi-factor authentication and steal authenticated session tokens from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts. At its peak, Tycoon 2FA accounted for roughly 62% of phishing attempts blocked by Microsoft,…
[Advisory2026-07_VDE-2026-052] A vulnerability in the CODESYS Visualization login dialog has been identified. During logins within the CODESYS Visualization, authentication data may not be sufficiently isolated when multiple users perform login operations concurrently. As a result, an authenticated visualization user may be able to obtain credentials entered by another visualization user. The issue affects only login operations within an active visualization session and can be triggered via…
Rilevata una campagna su larga scala di compromissione della supply chain nell'ecosistema npm, denominata "Mini Shai-Hulud". L'attacco sfrutta un malware di tipo worm per infiltrarsi negli ambienti di sviluppo e nelle pipeline di Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). L'obiettivo primario è l'esfiltrazione di credenziali sensibili e la successiva propagazione automatizzata attraverso la pubblicazione di versioni malevole di pacchetti legittimi.
Executive Summary SentinelLABS has identified PCPJack, a credential theft framework that worms across exposed cloud infrastructure and removes artifacts associated with TeamPCP, a threat actor persona who claimed several high-profile supply chain intrusions throughout early 2026. The toolset harvests credentials from cloud, container, developer, productivity, and financial services, then exfiltrates the data through attacker-controlled infrastructure while attempting to spread to additional…
Elastic Security v9.4 introduces Entity Analytics Watchlists, a new capability in the Entity Analytics suite that lets security teams create named, weighted lists of users, hosts, and services and feed that context directly into the platform's risk scoring pipeline. The gap this closes isn't awareness, as most security teams already know which entities deserve elevated scrutiny. The gap is that SIEMs have had no way to express that organizational knowledge as a risk signal. Watchlists do that…
There's an uncomfortable truth in security analytics that nobody talks about at conferences: The quality of your detections, alerts, and investigations is only as good as the entity records that represent the users, hosts, and services in your environment. Not the machine learning models. Not the anomaly detection algorithms. Not the risk scoring engine. The entities: the foundations to teach your system about the data and protect it. Get the entities wrong, and everything downstream is…
TrendAI™ Research breaks down Quasar Linux (QLNX), a previously undocumented sophisticated Linux RAT with low detection rates. In this blog, we examine a full-featured Linux threat incorporating a rootkit, a PAM backdoor, credential harvesting, and more, revealing how this malware enables stealthy access, persistence, and potential supply-chain attacks.
Preamble In 2025 and 2026, we watched a pattern play out across the industry. Attackers stopped going after production servers directly and started targeting the automation that deploys to them. Compromised developer credentials, a modified workflow file, and suddenly every secret in a CI/CD environment is streaming to an attacker-controlled endpoint. We saw this play out across incidents involving major open-source projects, Fortune 500 companies, and critical infrastructure tooling. The…
See how Huntress EDR/ITDR Correlations stop infostealer-driven attacks before stolen credentials can be reused, linking endpoint compromise to cloud identities for one coordinated response.
Key Takeaways We identified an exposed server that provided unusual visibility into a large-scale, multi-victim exploitation and collection operation. Artifacts on the host showed that Claude Code and OpenClaw were embedded in the operator’s day-to-day workflow, supporting troubleshooting, orchestration, and refinement of the collection pipeline. This AI-assisted workflow resulted in the modular platform Bissa scanner […] The post Bissa Scanner Exposed: AI-Assisted Mass Exploitation and…
