Inside it is OpenClawx64. exe, a bloated 130MB executable designed to appear legitimate while frustrating automated sandbox checks. The payload is […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Mac users are being targeted by a widening ClickFix campaign that disguises malicious commands as disk-cleaning and system-maintenance advice, turning routine troubleshooting into a route for credential theft, wallet compromise and cloud-data exposure. The attacks use pages that appear to offer help with storage optimisation, system clean-up or utility installation. Victims are instructed to copy commands into Terminal, or in some variants to trigger Apple’s Script Editor, […]

Ardoino has likened the company’s approach to Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, arguing that durable systems must be built before periods of financial stress expose weaknesses in existing institutions. The comparison […]

The latest deal was priced at an average of $2,292.15 per ETH, raising about $22.9 million for the non-profit organisation behind Ethereum’s core development ecosystem. It followed a 10,000 […]

  TON has moved to the front of the Layer-1 speed debate after a fresh comparison of blockchain finalisation times placed The Open Network ahead of major rivals on the time required for transactions to become irreversible. The assessment, conducted in April 2026, compared leading Layer-1 networks by finalisation time and put TON’s block finalisation at about 0.6 seconds, with total transaction finality under one second when […]

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 […]

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.

His remarks landed as development metrics […]

Tether is sharpening its claim that USDT has become core financial plumbing for the Bitcoin economy, as chief executive Paolo Ardoino frames the world’s largest stablecoin as a long-duration infrastructure project rather than a trading token built for crypto cycles. Ardoino has compared Tether’s approach to Isaac Asimov’s Foundation universe, using the analogy to stress resilience, preparation and systems designed to outlast political and financial disruption. The […]
