A Microsoft-tracked cybercrime group is using adversary-in-the-middle techniques to hijack Microsoft 365 sessions, bypass multifactor authentication and reroute employee pay into attacker-controlled bank accounts, in what researchers describe as a geographically focused campaign against users in Canada. Microsoft said the actor, tracked as Storm-2755, combined search-result poisoning, fake sign-in pages and session replay to move from account takeover to payroll fraud, causing direct financial loss for at […]

A critical security flaw in the Ninja Forms File Uploads add-on has put thousands of WordPress sites at risk, with researchers warning that attackers can exploit the bug without logging in and, in the worst case, gain remote code execution on a vulnerable server.

A cross-border espionage campaign that targeted journalists, civil society figures and some government-linked entities across the Middle East and North Africa between 2023 and 2024 has been tied by researchers to BITTER, a long-tracked South Asian threat actor, marking what investigators describe as the first documented case linking the group to attacks on civil society in the region. The attribution remains qualified rather than definitive: Lookout said […]

Google has warned that a financially motivated cyber group tracked as UNC6783 is targeting business process outsourcers and corporate helpdesks in a campaign aimed at stealing sensitive data from large companies and then using that access for extortion. The group, which Google says may be tied to the “Raccoon” persona, has targeted several dozen high-value organisations across multiple sectors, shifting attention to a weak point that many […]

STX RAT, a newly identified remote access trojan, has drawn attention in the cyber-security sector after researchers tied it to an attempted intrusion against a financial-services environment and linked it to broader opportunistic delivery campaigns that include trojanised software and script-based loaders. The malware stands out because it combines hidden remote control with data theft, while delaying some of its most suspicious behaviour until it has an […]

Hackers are exploiting internet-exposed ComfyUI servers in a monetisation campaign that turns poorly secured AI image-generation systems into cryptocurrency mining machines and proxy infrastructure, according to multiple security findings published this week. Researchers say more than 1,000 exposed ComfyUI instances remain reachable online after honeypots are filtered out, giving attackers a narrow but valuable pool of GPU-equipped targets spread across cloud environments. The activity centres on unauthenticated […]
