Hackers are using targeted spearphishing emails to deploy AZUREVEIL, an Adaptix-based command-and-control agent, against government and enterprise-linked targets in the Czech Republic and Taiwan, underscoring the growing use of trusted cloud services to mask cyber-espionage activity. The campaign, tracked as Operation Dragon Weave, begins with a malicious ZIP archive carrying files designed to appear as official documents. Once opened, the archive can trigger a multi-stage infection chain […]

Amazon Web Services has begun replacing parts of its data centre networking system with a flatter, quasi-random architecture aimed at moving cloud traffic faster while reducing the amount of equipment, electricity and physical cabling needed inside its facilities.

Hackers are using illegal streaming and digital library websites to spread cryptocurrency miners and remote access malware through fake video player updates, exposing millions of visitors to stealthy infections that can drain computing power and give attackers remote control over compromised systems. The campaign targets users who attempt to watch pirated films or television shows. Instead of loading the video, the website displays a warning that a […]

Cisco researchers have warned that leading open-weight large language models can be manipulated through sustained conversations that gradually push them past safety controls, exposing a weakness in systems now being adopted across business, public services and consumer applications. The assessment tested eight widely used open-weight models from Alibaba, DeepSeek, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, OpenAI and Zhipu AI. The models were examined through automated adversarial testing designed to […]

ByteDance is weighing capital expenditure of as much as $70 billion this year as the TikTok owner accelerates an artificial intelligence push aimed at strengthening its position in China’s intensifying technology contest. The Beijing-based group is discussing one of the largest spending programmes by a private technology company outside the United States, with funds expected to go into data centres, AI chips, networking equipment and model development.

Microsoft has issued fixes for a high-severity SharePoint Server vulnerability that could allow authenticated attackers to run code remotely on affected on-premises systems, sharpening security concerns for organisations that continue to rely on self-managed collaboration platforms. Tracked as CVE-2026-45659, the flaw affects SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, SharePoint Server 2019 and SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 8.8, placing it in […]

Microsoft is preparing to scale back internal use of Anthropic’s Claude Code and move thousands of developers towards GitHub Copilot CLI, marking a sharper push to consolidate AI coding work around tools it owns and governs more directly. The reported shift affects the company’s Experiences and Devices division, which covers major product groups including Windows, Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams and Surface. Engineers using Claude Code have been […]

Microsoft has opened a clearer path for Windows 11 users and administrators to remove Copilot, marking a notable shift in its handling of artificial intelligence features that have become increasingly visible across the operating system. The change means Copilot can be removed like a conventional app on many devices, while IT administrators managing business PCs now have policy tools to uninstall or prevent the Microsoft Copilot app […]

Iran-linked hackers have expanded cyber-espionage operations against aviation and software organisations in the United States, Europe and the Middle East, using fake recruitment pitches and search-engine manipulation to deliver malware capable of long-term surveillance and data theft. The campaign has been tied to Nimbus Manticore, also tracked as UNC1549, Screening Serpens, Smoke Sandstorm and Iranian Dream Job. The group is assessed to be aligned with Iran’s Islamic […]

Microsoft’s early lead in AI-assisted software development is coming under pressure as outages at GitHub, leadership changes, security incidents and fast-moving rivals reshape one of the most important contests in enterprise technology. GitHub Copilot gave Microsoft a commanding start in the AI coding race. It was launched before many competitors had mature developer products, and it benefited from GitHub’s position at the centre of global software collaboration. […]

US federal investigators have warned that a new phishing-as-a-service platform called Kali365 is enabling cybercriminals to steal Microsoft 365 access tokens and bypass multi-factor authentication without capturing victims’ passwords. The platform, first observed in April 2026 and distributed mainly through Telegram, marks a sharper turn in identity-based attacks because it abuses legitimate Microsoft authentication flows rather than relying on fake login pages alone. By capturing OAuth access […]

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview has identified more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity software vulnerabilities through Project Glasswing, intensifying debate over whether frontier AI is becoming a defensive breakthrough or a new accelerant for cyber risk.
