The article cites internal Huntress telemetry showing RMM abuse rising roughly 277% year over year, with Screen…
Huntress published a vendor blog post on the role and limits of Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) in modern data protection.

CISA ran concurrent red team assessments at two organizations: Organization A (Government Services and Facilities) and Organization B (Water and Wastewater Systems). Both reached full domain compromise and accessed sensitive business systems (SBSs) and cloud resources. Organization A did not detect or contain the activity. Organization B …
CISA added two vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on evidence of active exploitation: CVE-2026-65660, a code injection flaw in Microsoft SharePoint, and CVE-2026-67279, an improper enforcement of behavioral workflow flaw in MikroTik RouterOS. CISA describes these vulnerability types as a frequent at…
Researcher ahacker1, using the Hacktron AI tooling, disclosed a bypass of earlier fixes for prompt-injection-to-RCE in VS Code Copilot Chat agent mode. A TOCTOU flaw in the applyPatchTool component lets a crafted prompt write files outside the workspace without user confirmation. The attack can be triggered by pasting a prompt into Copilo…
SmartLoader is a commodity loader in active deployment, attributed to Malware-as-a-Service infrastructure linked to LummaStealer delivery in recent campaigns. Reverse engineering shows it is built almost entirely from off-the-shelf parts: a stock signed LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 interpreter, a commercial Lua VM obfuscator from the game-cheat sce…
Proofpoint disclosed an active campaign, tracked as UNKCondorFiltration, that used the TeamFiltration offensive framework against more than 5,700 accounts across 28 Microsoft 365 tenants. It focused mainly on Chilean retail and financial institutions and originated from 1,487 unique AWS EC2 IP addresses. Seven accounts were compromised, a…
FortiGuard Labs analyzed a TrickBot variant that carries command-and-control (C2) traffic over DNS tunneling, embedding encoded data in DNS queries and responses, instead of the HTTP used by earlier variants. The malware persists through Windows Task Scheduler, stores its configuration in NTFS Alternate Data Streams, and hinders analysis …
ESET analysis describes a two-pronged risk for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs): AI agents create new paths into business systems, while attackers use AI to add speed and scale to established threats. Between March and May 2026, ESET scanned almost 900,000 unique agent skills from popular repositories and found more than 25,000 suspic…
ESET WeLiveSecurity warns that scammers are exploiting demand for Robux, the virtual currency of Roblox, to steal credentials, personal information and money, with children and younger players the main targets. Roblox states that no legitimate free Robux generators, tricks or codes exist. Only earned routes are legitimate, such as officia…
Kaspersky identified MovieReaper, a previously unknown modular, multi-stage crimeware framework distributed since mid-August 2026 through movie-themed torrents, including fake "The Odyssey (2026)" releases. Rather than compromising individual trackers, the actor modified the public torrent file repository itorrents.org, so trackers relyin…
Unit 42 investigated a months-long intrusion against a European bank, which began with unauthorized VPN-based access through a third-party-managed external gateway appliance that did not enforce strict authentication. Using compromised credentials, the attacker ran noisy, high-volume internal reconnaissance and brute-force campaigns again…
Episode 487 of the Smashing Security podcast covers the hijacking of Microsoft's official X (Twitter) account, which has 13 million followers. The attackers used a Clippy theme to promote a dubious crypto coin, and a corporate apology that circulated was not from Microsoft either. There was no ransomware or data theft. The episode also co…
Microsoft announced changes to its Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium and Pro subscriptions, replacing per-member 1 TB OneDrive allowances with a single shared storage pool and shared AI usage credits.

The surge is attributed to Microsoft's use of AI-driven vulnerability discovery, including its multi-model agentic scanning harness (MDASH). Th…
Volexity published Part 3 of its "Mind the (Patch) Gap" series. It shows how Volexity Volcano and Surge Collect Pro were used to analyze a VM compromised with the zero-day exploit chain and payloads used by UTA0560 (Chrome and Windows zero-days, described in Part 1). The post is mainly product and workflow documentation rather than new in…
Huntress argues that passkeys raise the bar for authentication but do not close the account lifecycle: attackers still target enrollment, recovery, compromised endpoints, alternative sign-in flows and social engineering. Huntress researchers tracked a device-code phishing campaign, EvilTokens, that hit 344 organizations across five countr…
Cloudflare and VoidZero, together with Max Schwenk of Owner.com, announced tsrs, an experimental Rust port of the TypeScript compiler incubated within the Oxc JavaScript toolchain and developed in collaboration with the TypeScript team.
