Researchers at Hudson Rock found that cybercriminals hijacked HBO Max’s verified Reddit account and used it to run 108 malicious ads over roughly 48 hours. The ads used HBO Max’s trusted corporate account to promote fake AI tools, developer software, and macOS utilities, lowering potential victims’ guards. Some ads directed users to convincing HBO lookalike sites that claimed to offer a native HBO Max app for macOS or a promotional download. But instead of providing an installer, the sites…

Microsoft says threat actors linked to ShinyHunters, Helix, and other extortion gangs are using passkey and single sign-on-themed social engineering attacks to compromise corporate Microsoft accounts and steal data from Microsoft 365 services. [...]
I identified an attacker using a semi-autonomous coding agent to run an offensive operation: finding poorly secured LLM resale gateways, acquiring API access through ordinary web flaws and account farming, validating the resulting inference capacity, and aggregating it behind a single gateway of their own. What I captured was not simply credential theft, but an inference supply chain — an agent harvesting, validating, and consolidating LLM access into infrastructure that serves it again through…
Every wave of technology excitement creates a new opportunity for cyberattackers, and AI is no exception. Microsoft Threat Intelligence has published research showing a growing set of campaigns that impersonate popular AI platforms and tools, including ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, and Claude.1 The goal is to make phishing, search-driven malware campaigns, and malvertising—which is malicious advertising that uses online ads to lure users to harmful sites, downloads, or redirect…
About a week ago, Proxmox published an advisory revealing a vulnerability in older versions of Proxmox VE, its flagship Virtual Environment product. The vulnerability only affects version 7, which has not been supported for a couple of years now. But it appears that the vulnerability may have caught the attention of some attackers and researchers. We do see a bump in scans for port 8006, and also some additional brute force traffic. For example, brute force requests like: POST /api2/json/access…
In this article Attack chain overviewAttributionMitigation and protection guidanceLearn more Microsoft Security Research is tracking active cloud-based intrusions spanning multiple accounts in which unusual sign-ins were followed by threat actor-added authentication methods, high-volume Microsoft Graph activity, SharePoint and OneDrive downloads, and email collection through REST APIs.

Executive Summary Since the release of our May 2026 report detailing adversarial misuse of artificial intelligence (AI), Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has observed forward leaning adversaries transition from basic prompting to agentic AI workflows and AI-enabled automation. In these operations, human-in-the-loop latency is dramatically reduced, compressing the traditional window for defenders to respond. In Q2 2026, GTIG observed threat actors compromise a cloud resource, then plan,…

Another trove of data from Berlin's government has appeared online, authorities said. Germany's information security agency separately warned about the Rhysida cybercrime group.
X says attackers may be targeting accounts because its X Money payments service is now more widely available. The company is investigating a wave of unsolicited password-reset emails sent to users. While their arrival alongside the wider X Money rollout has fueled account-takeover concerns, X says it has found no evidence of a breach or successful account takeovers so far. X users began reporting unexpected password-reset emails and codes on September 1. In a public post, X product engineer…
Elastic Security Labs is tracking an emerging infostealer, REVSTEALER, under REF2859. This family has gained momentum in recent months, with higher distribution volume, and has emerged as a formidable threat, featuring a comprehensive credential harvester, an embedded sandbox scoring system, and a Polygon blockchain-based dead drop for resilience. Beyond credential theft, REVSTEALER targets gaming platforms for additional monetization; the developer clearly understands that victim accounts on…
Anthropic has warned some Claude users that criminals are using information stealers to take over their accounts. Rather than guessing passwords or intercepting two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, the attackers steal the browser sessions that prove a user is already logged in. According to a warning email shared publicly by an affected user, the attackers used common infostealer malware to copy Claude login sessions from victims’ computers. They then used those sessions to access the…
GreyNoise is observing automated scanners posing as the web crawlers of OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Fortune 500 companies, using forged user agents while requesting the files where misconfigured web servers frequently leak secrets and credentials.
Classification: Severe, Solution: Official Fix, Exploit Maturity: Proof-of-Concept, CVSSv3.1: 9.8, CVEs: CVE-2026-61979, CVE-2026-15981, Summary: The two vulnerabilities observed in exploitation attempts are tracked as CVE-2026-61979 and CVE-2026-15981 and can be chained together to bypass authentication. Because the miniOrange SAML SSO plugin accepts the signature algorithm from incoming SAML responses instead of enforcing the configured one, an attacker can leverage CVE-2026-61979 to select…

Cisco Talos recently identified an undocumented phishing framework, internally branded "JWR" by its developer, built to convincingly impersonate checkout and login pages across major payment and shopping platforms. The client engine of the JWR phishing framework is a real-time, operator-driven system that, rather than merely logging form submissions like a static credential-stealing page, keeps an AES-CTR encrypted WebSocket open to the threat actor so they can steer each victim's session live.…
On August 4, 2026, Elastic Security Labs identified a new Shai-Hulud campaign targeting the maintainer of keyv, a widely used key-value storage library. The attackers trojanized the monorepo and embedded a self-propagating worm called CHAINDROP that uses stolen npm credentials to automatically backdoor every other package the maintainer had publish rights to. The reach of this compromise is significant: keyv alone received over 600 million downloads last month, with related packages compounding…

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…
FortiGuard Labs research shows how cybercriminals are exploiting the demand for the FIFA World Cup 2026 through phishing, fake tickets, malware, impersonation, and credential theft.
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,…
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…
Key Takeaways We identified an exposed server that provided unusual visibility into a large-scale, multi-victim exploitation and collection operation.
