A streaming box should not need a threat model. Neither should a username field, a demo repo, a reset flow, or a browser permission prompt. That is the irritating part this week: the risky pieces were ordinary.

Home devices became a routing cover. Clean code pulled dirt from a dependency. Identity shortcuts aged badly. AI systems trusted the wrong instructions. Same soft spot throughout: trust

Building a shortlist for an AI SOC evaluation can be tough. SIEM, SOAR, and pureplay AI SOC vendors are all saying the same thing. But behind the identical label sit very different products, from chat assistants bolted onto a legacy SIEM to agent platforms that run detection, triage, investigation, and response on their own data foundation.

Whether a platform will materially change outcomes for

A suspected China-nexus threat activity cluster has been observed targeting Indian taxpayers, tax professionals, and corporate finance teams to deliver a remote access trojan designed to steal sensitive data from compromised hosts.

The multi-stage campaign, codenamed Operation DragonReturn by Seqrite Labs, involves sending spear-phishing emails impersonating the Income Tax Department of India.

Researchers at Shandong University have shown a fast new way to pull data off computers that are cut off from every network. The technique, called TrojPix, tweaks on-screen pixels in ways the eye cannot see, so that the video cable carrying them radiates a faint radio signal a nearby receiver can decode.

But TrojPix works only once malware is already on the target machine, so it

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a novel Java-based remote access trojan (RAT) called QuimaRAT that’s capable of targeting Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.

According to LevelBlue, the cross-platform malware is advertised under a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) model, costing anywhere between $150 for one month to $1,200 for lifetime access. Other subscription tiers include $300 for

Researchers found a flaw in Opera GX, the gaming-focused version of the Opera browser, that let a malicious website silently install a browser add-on and use it to lift specific data from the pages a victim visits.

In a proof of concept, they reconstructed a signed-in user’s full Gmail address from a single visit, with no click. Opera has patched the flaw and says it found no evidence that

Scanners meant to catch malicious add-on “skills” for AI coding agents can be fooled by a few simple changes that leave the malware working, according to a new study from researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Their strongest trick slipped past every scanner tested more than 90% of the time, and the same team built a runtime checker that catches most of the
