Attackers are leveraging the platform to send invitation-style emails that […]

Cybersecurity researchers are tracking an expansion of the MioLab infostealer targeting macOS systems, signalling a shift in cybercrime operations towards Apple devices as their adoption widens across corporate and consumer environments. The malware, also known in underground circles as Nova, is being marketed as a Malware-as-a-Service offering, allowing threat actors with limited technical expertise to deploy sophisticated attacks against macOS users. Analysts describe MioLab as a modular […]

Cheap IP-KVM devices widely used in enterprise environments have been found to contain critical security vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to seize low-level control of entire networks, according to findings from multiple cybersecurity researchers. The flaws, identified across several budget remote management products, enable attackers to bypass standard security protections and gain direct access to connected systems at the BIOS level. Once compromised, a single IP-KVM device […]

A new strain of the malware-as-a-service infostealer known as VoidStealer has introduced a technique that allows attackers to extract sensitive data from Google Chrome without relying on privilege escalation or code injection, marking a shift in how browser security defences are being bypassed. Security researchers tracking the campaign say the updated variant leverages a debugger-based method to defeat Chrome’s Application-Bound Encryption, a protection designed to secure stored […]

A coordinated supply chain attack targeting the Node Package Manager ecosystem has exposed a new level of automation and persistence, with threat actors hijacking trusted publisher accounts to distribute malicious code across widely used software libraries. Security researchers tracking the campaign, known as “CanisterWorm,” say it relies on stolen access tokens and compromised namespaces to infiltrate development pipelines without immediate detection. The campaign has been linked to […]

Greenlogue/AP Environmental, social and governance investing is undergoing a marked transformation as regulatory scrutiny, political pushback and shifting market dynamics compel investors to recalibrate strategies once seen as central to sustainable finance. Assets tied to ESG-labelled funds have shown uneven growth across regions, reflecting a broader reassessment of how sustainability metrics are defined and applied. While global flows into ESG funds slowed compared with earlier peaks, institutional […]

A sharp escalation in mobile banking malware attacks targeting more than 1,200 financial brands across 90 countries is altering the global fraud landscape, with security experts warning that user devices have become the primary entry point for cybercriminals. Industry researchers tracking digital fraud patterns say the scale and sophistication of mobile-focused threats have expanded markedly, reflecting a shift away from traditional server-side breaches towards attacks that exploit […]

Security weaknesses in Jenkins and a widely used plugin have raised fresh concerns over the resilience of software development pipelines, with researchers warning that attackers could exploit the flaws to gain deep access to enterprise systems. The vulnerabilities, disclosed through an official advisory from the Jenkins project, affect the core automation server as well as the LoadNinja plugin, a tool used for performance testing. Security analysts indicate […]

  Authorities across multiple jurisdictions have dismantled a vast network of compromised Internet of Things devices linked to some of the largest distributed denial-of-service attacks ever recorded, with traffic surges reaching an estimated 30 terabits per second. The coordinated operation targeted command-and-control infrastructure that enabled four separate botnets to orchestrate high-volume cyber assaults on critical digital services worldwide. Investigators said the infrastructure had been used to overwhelm […]

A banking malware strain known as Horabot has re-emerged in Mexico with a more sophisticated infection chain, combining phishing emails, deceptive CAPTCHA prompts and automated email propagation techniques to compromise victims and harvest financial data. Cybersecurity analysts tracking the campaign say the latest iteration marks a significant evolution in both delivery and persistence. The malware is being distributed through carefully crafted phishing emails that appear to originate […]

A coordinated cybercrime operation built around a fraudulent cryptocurrency tool branded “ShieldGuard” has been dismantled after investigators confirmed it functioned as a malicious browser extension harvesting user credentials and digital assets. Security researchers say the campaign had been active across multiple platforms, targeting retail crypto investors through deceptive online promotions and fake security assurances. The extension, presented as a protective utility for safeguarding cryptocurrency wallets, was distributed […]

Take-Two Interactive chief executive Strauss Zelnick has declined to offer advice to Microsoft’s newly appointed gaming leader Asha Sharma, expressing confidence that she will succeed without external guidance and highlighting her record as a seasoned executive. Zelnick’s remarks come as Sharma steps into a prominent leadership role within Microsoft’s gaming division, overseeing strategic direction for Xbox amid intensifying competition in the global video game industry. Addressing questions […]

A newly identified Android attack technique that alters the operating environment rather than modifying applications has raised fresh concerns over the resilience of mobile payment systems, with researchers warning that conventional app-level protections may no longer be sufficient. Security analysts at CloudSEK have detailed a method that leverages a framework known as LSPosed to manipulate how Android apps behave at runtime. Instead of injecting malicious code directly […]

Gaps between on-premise and cloud identity systems are creating a growing security blind spot, as organisations adopting hybrid Active Directory environments struggle to maintain consistent user credentials across platforms. Security analysts warn that “identity drift” — a condition where user attributes, permissions or credentials fall out of sync between systems — is emerging as a critical vulnerability in enterprise infrastructure. Hybrid identity setups, commonly built around Microsoft’s […]

A sophisticated malware operation targeting software developers has expanded its reach by exploiting trusted extension ecosystems, with security researchers uncovering dozens of malicious packages distributed through the Open VSX marketplace. The campaign, known as GlassWorm, now relies on hidden transitive dependencies to introduce malicious code into developer environments, marking a notable shift in tactics within the growing wave of software supply-chain attacks. Security analysts have identified at […]

Google has finalised its $32 billion acquisition of the cloud security firm Wiz, marking one of the largest deals in the cybersecurity sector and underscoring the growing importance of protecting complex cloud infrastructure as companies expand their use of artificial intelligence and distributed computing.
