A new artificial intelligence system has autonomously identified and exploited security weaknesses in laboratory-based Internet of Things environments, completing 95% of 260 attempted attacks. The framework, named VEXAIoT, uses cooperating AI agents to scan networks, identify vulnerable services, devise attack plans and execute exploits with limited human involvement. Researchers tested it against IoTGoat and Metasploitable2, two deliberately vulnerable platforms used for cybersecurity training and controlled experimentation. VEXAIoT […]

Attackers are hiding machine-readable instructions inside websites to manipulate AI agents, turning ordinary web pages into a new security battleground as automated systems begin browsing, summarising and acting on behalf of users. Zscaler’s ThreatLabz has documented two live campaigns using indirect prompt injection, a technique in which malicious instructions are planted in third-party content that an AI system reads during a task. Unlike a direct prompt attack, […]

Cybercriminals are using fake cracked-software downloads to infect consumers and smaller businesses with a double payload that steals credentials and mines Monero, underscoring how commodity malware operators are combining immediate data theft with longer-running attempts to profit from compromised machines. The campaign delivers Vidar, a widely used information stealer, alongside XMRig, an open-source cryptocurrency miner often abused in cryptojacking attacks. Victims are lured through malvertising into downloading […]

Tehran opened weeklong funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday, turning public mourning for the slain former supreme leader into a carefully staged display of endurance after months of war, political uncertainty and pressure on the Islamic Republic’s ruling establishment. The body of Khamenei, killed on 28 February during US and Israeli strikes at the start of the war, was placed at the Imam Khomeini Grand […]

A newly identified cyber-espionage group has targeted government agencies and electricity-sector organisations in Russia, Brazil and Kazakhstan, using phishing emails to deploy a Windows information stealer designed to extract credentials, documents and browser data. The group, named Armored Likho and provisionally linked to a cluster known as Eagle Werewolf, has emerged as a notable threat because its operations combine espionage against institutions with financially motivated attacks against […]

Mexico-focused companies are facing a sharper wave of TimbreStealer attacks as operators behind the information-stealing malware combine tax-themed phishing with cloud-hosted delivery, DLL side-loading and layered evasion designed to defeat automated analysis. The campaign marks a technical step-up for a malware family first tracked in late 2023, when attackers used fiscal and invoice lures to push an obfuscated stealer at users in Mexico. The latest activity keeps […]

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is turning into a wider economic emergency, with the United Nations Development Programme warning that the crisis could cost African economies up to $3.6 billion and put about 328,000 jobs at risk if transmission spreads beyond the current hotspots.
