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

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a macOS malvertising campaign codenamed Operation FlutterBridge that spreads a new backdoor called FlutterShell.

According to Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, the campaign is said to be the next stage of a previously reported activity cluster dubbed JSCoreRunner (aka FileRipple) in late August 2025. The cybercrime group behind the two attack chains is

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:

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a critical flaw impacting Mirasvit Cache Warmer, a popular Magento full-page cache extension, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, following reports of active exploitation in the wild.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-45247 (CVSS score: 9.8), is a case of deserialization of untrusted

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) on Wednesday announced the results of a sweeping action undertaken by government authorities and private sector companies to combat cyber-enabled and cryptocurrency fraud targeting Americans.

The “Disruption Week” operation began May 18, 2026, leading to the takedown of millions of social media, email, and internet access accounts used by transnational

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 flagged a new malspam campaign that makes use of Google’s DoubleClick domain as a way to evade detection and ultimately deliver a remote access trojan (RAT) named DesckVB RAT.

“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

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.

A development flag left switched on in production builds of several Microsoft 365 Android apps disabled the check that limits account-token sharing to trusted Microsoft apps.

Any other app on the same phone could ask for the signed-in user’s token and get it, then read email, open files, browse the calendar, and send messages as that user. No password, no login screen, no permission prompt.
