A new China-linked cybercrime group known as TA4922 has expanded its targeting focus to target European organizations in the U.K., Germany, Italy, and South Africa. These efforts have been complemented by a "rapid operational tempo" and a continually evolving malware arsenal comprising known families like ValleyRAT (aka Winos 4.0) and Atlas RAT (aka AtlasCross RAT), as well as previously Ravie Lakshmananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/[email protected]

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a large-scale operation that impersonates open-source and freeware projects to funnel unsuspecting users through a Traffic Distribution System (TDS) and deliver malware families like Remus Stealer, AnimateClipper, and the SessionGate framework. "The sites are well-designed and often look like legitimate project portals at a glance, sometimes referencing

Unknown attackers spent at least five months inside the Outlook mailbox of a senior executive at a major global stock exchange, copying the inbox out in small, repeated batches and routing it through Dropbox and OneDrive so the traffic blended into normal cloud activity. Symantec and Carbon Black's Threat Hunter Team reported the campaign this week. This points to espionage, not a money grab:

A single poisoned notification from WhatsApp, Slack, SMS, Signal, Instagram, or Messenger could have hijacked Google Gemini's voice assistant on Android and made it open a victim's connected windows, fake a message from their boss, push the phone into a Zoom call, or quietly poison its long-term memory. No malicious app on the phone is required. The assistant just had to treat a hostile

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a one-click attack via Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) that makes it possible to steal a user's GitHub token. "Just by clicking a link, it's possible for an attacker to steal a GitHub token that can read and write to your repos, including private ones," security researcher Ammar Askar said. GitHub supports a feature called GitHub.dev that runs as

Redis has patched a use-after-free in its blocking-client code that lets an authenticated user run arbitrary OS commands on the machine hosting the database. The flaw was found by an autonomous AI tool built to hunt bugs in large codebases. Tracked as CVE-2026-23479, the flaw was introduced in Redis 7.2.0 and remained in every stable branch until the May 5 fixes, unnoticed for over two years.

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new malspam campaign that makes use of Google's DoubleClick domain as a way to evade detection and ultimately deliver an unidentified .NET-based loader. "Before the victim ever reaches attacker-controlled infrastructure, the lure routes through DoubleClick, a legitimate Google-owned domain that many security tools are less likely to treat as suspicious,"

Assume the breach. Zero-days keep shipping, AI is writing exploits faster than anyone patches, and "patch everything in time" stopped working years ago. Stop betting the org on winning that race. You don't control which bug lands. You control what it can reach once it does. That is a question about the shape of your network, and most teams have the shape wrong. HD Moore, creator of Metasploit
