OpenAI-generated images are now easier to trace after the company added two embedded provenance signals to pictures created through ChatGPT, Codex and its application programming interface, marking a significant shift for users who rely on AI visuals but cannot openly disclose generative AI use. The change, introduced on May 19, places OpenAI’s image tools inside a widening industry push to label synthetic media as platforms, publishers, regulators […]

Hackers stole parts of Grafana Labs’ codebase after gaining access to its GitHub environment through a compromised token, prompting fresh concern over software supply-chain security at a company whose observability tools are embedded across enterprise technology operations. The New York-based open source software developer said an unauthorised party accessed its GitHub environment and downloaded code after obtaining a token with repository access. The attackers then tried to […]

Scientists have found radioactive iron from exploded stars locked inside Antarctic ice, offering fresh evidence that Earth is moving through a cloud of ancient supernova debris while the material continues to fall on the planet today. The findings, published on May 13 in Physical Review Letters, centre on traces of iron-60, a rare isotope produced inside massive stars and scattered across space when they die in supernova […]

A newly documented malware framework has exposed how attackers are turning open-source offensive tools into stealthy intrusion platforms capable of screen control, browser data access and Windows privilege escalation. The framework, tracked as TencShell, was detected during an attempted attack on a global manufacturing organisation through a third-party connection at its India site. The operation was blocked before attackers could establish lasting control, but the technical evidence […]

Mac users searching for Claude downloads are being targeted through sponsored Google results that lead to legitimate-looking Claude shared chats carrying malicious installation instructions, exposing a weakness in how trusted platforms can be misused to deliver malware. The campaign centres on users looking for Claude or Claude Code for macOS. Instead of relying only on fake websites, the attackers are placing paid search ads that display the […]

Cloud security teams are facing a new credential-theft campaign after researchers identified PCPJack, a worm-like malware framework built to compromise exposed container, database and cloud-native systems while stripping away traces of rival TeamPCP tooling. 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 […]

MCP’s rapid rise as the preferred bridge between AI assistants and external tools is running into a harder test inside production software teams: whether convenience justifies the security, reliability and governance risks now surfacing around the protocol. Model Context Protocol, introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 and later moved into broader open governance under the Linux Foundation’s Agentic AI Foundation, was designed to solve a real engineering […]

OmniOps has joined Grafana Labs’ partner programme, a move that gives the Riyadh-based infrastructure company a stronger route into Saudi Arabia’s fast-growing market for cloud monitoring, telemetry and data-sovereign digital operations. The step positions OmniOps to sell and implement Grafana-backed observability services for enterprises that want tighter control over metrics, logs, traces and performance data inside the Kingdom’s regulatory and strategic framework. The partnership matters because observability […]

  A legitimate Intel storage utility has been repurposed in a highly targeted malware campaign that uses a little-known. NET mechanism to run hostile code inside a signed executable, giving attackers a quieter path into corporate networks and making detection far harder for many security products. The operation, identified as PhantomCLR, has been observed against financial institutions and other organisations across the Middle East and the wider […]

A sweeping international law-enforcement campaign has disrupted one of the cybercrime market’s most accessible attack models, with authorities saying Operation PowerOFF warned more than 75,000 suspected users of distributed denial-of-service-for-hire services, took down 53 domains, issued 25 search warrants and made four arrests during a coordinated action week on 13 April. The effort, backed by Europol and involving agencies from 21 countries, targeted both the operators and […]

Attackers are exploiting trust in Adobe’s brand to deliver covert remote access, using a fake Acrobat Reader download page to install ConnectWise ScreenConnect through a fileless, memory-heavy attack chain that is designed to leave few traces on disk and make forensic analysis harder. Security researchers who uncovered the campaign said the operation began with a phishing site made to resemble Adobe’s official software page, where victims were […]

Scientists are advancing a new way to search for life beyond Earth by looking not for a single decisive signal on one planet, but for recurring patterns across many worlds. The idea, set out in a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, argues that life may reveal itself statistically if it spreads between planets or reshapes planetary environments in ways that leave linked traces across a wider […]

OpenAI has accused Elon Musk of staging a last-minute legal manoeuvre ahead of a jury trial due to begin on 27 April in Oakland, California, deepening a dispute that has grown from a fight over the company’s founding ideals into one of the most consequential courtroom battles in artificial intelligence. The latest exchange came after Musk amended his claims against OpenAI and Microsoft, widening the remedies he […]

Security researchers at Varonis have identified a new infostealer dubbed Storm that appears to mark a more polished phase in credential theft, using server-side decryption to extract browser passwords, session cookies, crypto-wallet data and other sensitive material while avoiding many of the on-device traces that endpoint tools have grown used to flagging. The malware was observed on underground forums in early 2026 and is being sold as […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai   Dubai lender Emirates NBD has won approval from the Reserve Bank of India to acquire up to 74 per cent of Mumbai-based RBL Bank, a decision that moves one of the largest cross-border banking deals in the country closer to completion and could reshape the private lender’s ownership, governance and market position. The approval, disclosed on April 2, allows Emirates NBD to […]

Online anonymity is facing a sharper threat as new research suggests large language models can now identify pseudonymous internet users at scale by combining fragments of public writing with broader online data. The warning comes from a February 2026 preprint by Simon Lermen and co-authors at ETH Zurich, Anthropic and the Machine Learning Alignment and Theory Scholars programme, which argues that the “practical obscurity” that once protected […]

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 […]

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 […]

Microscopic plastic particles circulating through food, water and air may be contributing to neurological damage linked with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, according to emerging scientific research examining how these pollutants interact with the human brain.
