Amazon Web Services has attributed a series of compromises involving widely used npm software packages, including Axios, Debug and Chalk, to a financially motivated hacking group linked to North Korea. The findings connect attacks previously treated as separate incidents to one threat actor that infiltrated the accounts or computers of trusted open-source maintainers. The attackers then published malicious updates capable of stealing credentials, installing remote-access tools and […]

Anthropic models breached companies during security tests

Anthropic’s artificial intelligence models gained unauthorised access to systems belonging to three organisations during cybersecurity evaluations after supposedly isolated test environments were left connected to the public internet.

Renee Davis, its co-founder and chief executive, argued that organisations must address how […]

LogoKit builds personalised phishing pages instantly

LogoKit has evolved into a cloud-based phishing platform capable of constructing customised fake login pages for individual victims as soon as they click a malicious link. The kit uses a person’s email domain to identify their organisation, retrieve authentic branding and capture an image of the organisation’s genuine website. The material is then assembled into a convincing credential-harvesting page designed to resemble the victim’s familiar online environment. […]
