VOLTA is a mature stealer implant with an optional AI-integration layer. After stealing credentials, sessions, and cryptocurrency wallets, VOLTA sends a structured evidence bundle to an LLM to rank the victim’s assets by monetization value. If a model refuses to perform the target assessment, VOLTA fails over to a three-model chain, implying a direct engineering effort and expectation of hitting model guardrails. This stealer is self-deleting, and there is no attacker-owned infrastructure. The…
As Android Central reports, users have received unexpected emails telling them their phone number has been verified for secondary Google accounts. Like me and many others, you may have one Google account for everyday use, another for work, and a third for things you would rather keep separate. But if you’re using an Android phone, those accounts may have something in common that you didn’t intend or even know about: your phone number. Google’s own documentation confirms that phone number…
Classification: Critical, Solution: Official Fix, Exploit Maturity: Proof-of-Concept, CVSSv4.0: 9.3, CVEs: CVE-2026-102503, Summary: A SAM node exposes its registered backend services (MCP / A2A / inference, including command/stdio-backed MCP servers) over two libp2p paths. The MCP-protocol path is wrapped in WithBiscuitAuth -> Authorize, which enforces the node's biscuit policy (allowed_tools / allowed_targets). The parallel /libp2p-http ingress reaches the same backend service handlers with…
Classification: Critical, Solution: Official Fix, Exploit Maturity: Proof-of-Concept, CVSSv4.0: 9.3, CVEs: CVE-2026-103091, Summary: SAM's MCP proxy has no authorization. Any authenticated mesh member can invoke any tool on any node, with full read/write/exec on the backend. The only prerequisite is the control plane URL (via Shodan, I currently found a few via a header, but since this project is still in its very early adoption stage it makes sense the numbers aren't big right now, it's got…
Wiz identified threat actors hijacking Google Cloud Platform (GCP) billing accounts via search-ad phishing to fund unauthorized Gemini API usage. By stealing corporate credentials and MFA tokens, attackers gain access, dismantle IAM domain restrictions, and link external GCP p...
In this article Uncovering the shadow world of a phishing kit ecosystem Storm-3119: YAM Store, the power broker Storm-2990: The Iron Man System phishing kit Downstream activity from Storm-2990 phishing kits Mitigation and protection guidance Microsoft Defender detections Over the past year, Microsoft uncovered a Chinese-language cybercriminal ecosystem, an interconnected network of phishing kit operators, developers, and an illicit marketplace selling tools and infrastructure for large-scale…
We found a wave of websites posing as Calendly booking pages for job interviews at Meta. Visitors pick a slot for a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter, fill in their details, and pass what looks like a CAPTCHA. Then the page asks them to log in to Facebook. The interview is fake. The pages are designed to steal the visitor’s Facebook login details, including the two-factor authentication (2FA) codes meant to protect the account. Visitors are then asked to sign in to their Google account too,…
According to Google, attackers compromised infrastructure behind three country-code domain namespaces—.gh (Ghana), .sl (Sierra Leone), and .as (American Samoa)—and used it to obtain unauthorized HTTPS certificates for Google domains and other organizations. These domain endings aren’t limited to sites serving those countries, so the risk can extend to users elsewhere. This wasn’t a break in encryption, and Google’s systems weren’t compromised. Instead, attackers manipulated the internet’s…
Cisco Talos identified an advanced persistent threat (APT) spear-phishing campaign against individuals affiliated with Taiwan research organizations. The operation leveraged legitimate public event themes and impersonated reputable academic and policy institutions to establish credibility. The phishing emails exhibited highly consistent structure, rhetoric, and personalization patterns, suggesting the threat actor likely used AI-assisted content generation to rapidly customize invitation lures…
Over the weekend, Japanese publishing giant Nikkei disclosed that unknown attackers recently breached two employee email accounts and used one to send thousands of phishing emails. [...]
A Kubernetes user with limited permissions can potentially gain control of an entire Google Cloud organization by exploiting the authority granted to Google Kubernetes Config Connector. Varonis explains how this confused deputy problem can turn a single Kubernetes YAML file into a path to organization-wide privilege escalation. [...]
Phishing follows whatever people want at the moment, and right now that includes AI subscriptions they don’t have to pay for. We recently uncovered a new variation on this theme: A fake Claude Max giveaway that uses a convincing Google sign-in window to steal login information.Claude’s paid plans start at $20 a month and cost considerably more for higher usage limits, while free accounts have stricter limits. That makes the promise of a free upgrade an attractive lure.Microsoft reported in June…
Tomorrow's webinar examines real Google Workspace breaches involving social engineering and malicious OAuth applications, from initial access through the critical first hours of incident response. Learn which security controls and response decisions can make the greatest difference. [...]
Google says one of its Gemini models accessed systems belonging to three real companies during a cybersecurity evaluation in May. The model reportedly guessed credentials in one case, while finding exposed credentials in public repositories in two others. Google says Gemini stopped once it recognized that it had reached real infrastructure and that the affected organizations were notified. Gemini was participating in an evaluation run by Irregular, a third-party AI cybersecurity testing firm.…
Researchers at Zimperium’s zLabs have analyzed an Android Trojan that uses an automated, multi-stage infection process. What’s new is that RatHat gives a live AI assistant the keys to the accessibility tree of the infected device and uses it to determine where to tap or scroll, rather than following a hardcoded script. The variable attack path makes it harder for signature- and rule-based mobile security tools to detect this Trojan. It also abuses Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a legitimate tool…
Attackers can combine social engineering with malicious OAuth applications to gain access to Google Workspace data without relying solely on stolen passwords. This webinar examines two attacks to show how these breaches unfold and which security controls can help stop them. [...]
Third-party applications connected to Google Workspace can retain access long after their original purpose is forgotten. This webinar examines how overly permissive integrations contribute to breaches and which security controls can help fast-growing companies reduce their exposure. [...]
Researchers have uncovered ToxicPanda 2.0, an Android banking Trojan and remote-access tool designed for account takeover and “on-device fraud.” Not only does ToxicPanda 2.0 have a much larger target list of banks and e-wallets, it has also expanded its capabilities by combining banking overlays, remote access, PIN capture, Android accessibility abuse, and attempted Wireless Debugging automation. Together, those functions can help operators turn a compromised phone into a platform for account…
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…
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,…
