Fake OpenClaw lure exposes wallet risks

Hackers are exploiting demand for OpenClaw by circulating a counterfeit installer that delivers Hologram, a Rust-based information-stealing framework built to harvest credentials from crypto wallets, password managers and browser extensions. Security analysis of the campaign shows a polished fake installer site distributing an archive named OpenClawx64.7z. Inside it is OpenClawx64. exe, a bloated 130MB executable designed to appear legitimate while frustrating automated sandbox checks. The payload is […]

PCPJack sharpens cloud credential threat

Cloud security teams are facing a new credential-theft campaign after researchers identified PCPJack, a worm-like malware framework built to compromise exposed container, database and cloud-native systems while stripping away traces of rival TeamPCP tooling. The framework targets internet-facing Docker APIs, Kubernetes environments, Redis and MongoDB instances, Ray dashboards and vulnerable web applications. Its operators appear less interested in cryptomining, a familiar revenue stream in cloud intrusions, and […]

Fake call apps expose Play Store gaps

Fraudulent Android apps promising private call records for any phone number drew more than 7.3 million downloads on Google Play before being removed, exposing fresh weaknesses in app-store screening, digital payments oversight and consumer protection around subscription fraud.

GitHub lures deepen Windows infostealer threat

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a targeted espionage-style malware campaign that uses GitHub Releases to conceal payload delivery, combining phishing, trusted cloud infrastructure and a fileless Python implant to steal sensitive data from Windows systems. The operation, tracked as Operation HumanitarianBait, begins with phishing emails carrying a malicious Windows shortcut file inside a RAR archive. The lure is built around Russian-language humanitarian aid material, including what appears to […]

Workplace logins become insider risk

Corporate login credentials have become a growing internal security weakness, with one in eight workers admitting they have sold access to company systems or know someone who has done so over the past year. The finding points to a shift in workplace fraud risk from external hacking alone to insider-enabled access, where criminals can enter corporate systems through legitimate credentials rather than breaking through technical defences. The […]

NuGet impostors expose developer secrets

Malicious NuGet packages masquerading as familiar. NET libraries have put developer workstations and build environments at risk of credential theft, with attackers using plausible package names, hidden version histories and obfuscated payloads to target users in Chinese software ecosystems. Five packages identified in the campaign — IR. DantUI, IR. OscarUI, IR. Infrastructure. Core, IR. Infrastructure. DataService. Core and IR. iplus32 — were published through the same account, […]

Phishing ads target WordPress control panels

Hackers are using sponsored Google search results to steal ManageWP credentials, raising fresh concerns over the exposure of agencies, developers and businesses that administer large fleets of WordPress websites through a single GoDaddy-owned dashboard. The campaign places a fraudulent advertisement above the legitimate ManageWP search result, copying the platform’s branding and directing users to a look-alike login page. Victims who search for ManageWP rather than typing the […]

MS Teams phishing masks espionage campaign

Cybersecurity investigators have linked a Microsoft Teams-based credential theft operation to MuddyWater, the state-sponsored threat group associated with Iran’s intelligence apparatus, after an intrusion first presented itself as an ordinary Chaos ransomware attack. The operation, detected in early 2026 and detailed this week, shows how trusted workplace collaboration tools are being turned into entry points for espionage. Attackers used Teams chats and screen-sharing sessions to trick employees […]

Salat stealer sharpens Windows intrusion playbook

Cybersecurity teams are tracking a more capable strain of Salat Stealer, a Windows-focused malware family that has moved beyond routine credential theft into full remote access, surveillance and stealthy command-and-control activity. The Go-based tool, also tracked as WEB_RAT, combines the functions of an infostealer and a Remote Access Trojan. Its operators can harvest browser passwords, cookies, Telegram sessions, cryptocurrency wallet data and system details, while also opening […]

CloudZ exposes weak link in OTP security

Cybercriminals are exploiting Microsoft’s Phone Link app to intercept text messages and one-time passwords from connected smartphones without installing malware on the phone itself, exposing a fresh weakness in cross-device authentication systems. The activity centres on CloudZ, a modular remote access trojan deployed on Windows machines, and a previously undocumented plugin called Pheno. The malware has been observed in an intrusion active since at least January 2026, […]

Iran-linked hackers mask espionage as extortion

Cybersecurity investigators have linked a deceptive ransomware-style intrusion to MuddyWater, a state-sponsored hacking group associated with Tehran’s intelligence apparatus, after forensic evidence showed the operation was built around espionage rather than financial extortion. The campaign, observed in early 2026, was presented to victims as an attack by an affiliate of the Chaos ransomware-as-a-service ecosystem. Yet the intrusion lacked a defining feature of ransomware: there was no file […]

QLNX raises alarm over developer credential theft

A newly documented Linux remote access trojan has sharpened concerns over software supply-chain security after researchers found it was built to steal developer and DevOps credentials that could be used to compromise trusted code repositories, cloud systems and package registries. The malware, known as Quasar Linux or QLNX, combines remote access functions with a rootkit, a Pluggable Authentication Module backdoor, keylogging and credential-harvesting features. Its design suggests […]
