Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new macOS information stealer called PamStealer that employs a series of clever tricks to infect systems and siphon sensitive data. The stealer, discovered by Jamf Threat Labs, is distributed as a compiled AppleScript (.scpt) file impersonating Maccy, a legitimate open-source clipboard manager.

Google has significantly degraded NetNut, one of the biggest networks that turns home devices into rented relays for other people's traffic. Working with the FBI, Lumen, and others, Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) said this week it had reduced the network's pool of usable devices by millions. Google identifies NetNut, also tracked as Popa, as a network spread across home

This week’s security news is mostly about weak spots. Browsers, bots, sandboxes, AI systems, and email flows all show the same problem in different ways. Everything looks normal until someone tests a small gap and finds a way through. This is not one big break. It is small permissions, weak checks, open systems, and normal tools doing things they were allowed to do. That same pattern runs

The threat actor known as ToddyCat has been attributed to a new malware called Umbrij that's designed to gain surreptitious access to a victim's email correspondence via the Google API. "In this campaign, the attackers focused their attention on corporate email communications hosted on Gmail, targeting access compromise via APIs," Kaspersky said in a detailed report published this week.

Identity lifecycle management was architected around a person with an employment record, a manager, and a departure date. AI agents have none of those. As autonomous principals proliferate across enterprise environments, the governance model built for humans develops structural blind spots that traditional IGA tools weren't designed to detect. This guide covers where that model breaks, what it

Security firm Sysdig says it has found what it believes is the first ransomware attack run from start to finish by an AI agent. Its Threat Research Team calls the operator JADEPUFFER and says a large language model handled the whole job: breaking in, stealing credentials, moving deeper into the network, then encrypting and wiping a company's production database.

The recently discovered financially-motivated FortiBleed campaign has been attributed to INC and Lynx ransomware operations, indicating that the verified, stolen credentials were intended for follow-on intrusions.

Attackers are hiding a data-stealing trojan inside fake exploit code aimed at the people who hunt bugs for a living. The malware, called ChocoPoC, travels in Python proof-of-concept (PoC) repositories on GitHub that claim to exploit hot new CVEs. Run one, and it quietly lifts your saved passwords, browser cookies, and files, then hands the attacker a shell on your machine. YesWeHack and

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a high-severity flaw impacting Microsoft SharePoint Server to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-45659 (CVSS score: 8.8), is a case of remote code execution arising from the deserialization of untrusted data. The issue
