Huntress researchers detailed an SEO-poisoning campaign on 13 October that harvests SSL VPN credentials through a lookalike WatchGuard download page, watchguard-vpn.net, and then delivers the legitimate, validly signed Mobile VPN with SSL installer. Earlier waves used trojanised installers, but this iteration contains no malware, so endpo…
Check Point Research (CPR) analyzed Aokigahara, a newly observed infostealer seen in the wild that explicitly targets authentication files, session data and configuration files of AI applications and developer tools. Targeted tools include Claude, ChatGPT Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and JetBrains AI Assist…
SecurityWeek's weekly roundup covers several security incidents. Symantec linked APT28 (tracked as Swallowtail) to Hookedge backdoor intrusions against a law enforcement agency, a naval shipbuilder and a military aircraft engine maker in two NATO states. A researcher found that 333 Tor exit relays (about a tenth of all exits), running on …
Group-IB and NyxLab disclosed a large-scale campaign by the cybercriminal actor k0t (aliases CryptoFeel, Member19, QazWsxShop, first seen October 22, 2025) against exposed network edge devices, including Fortinet FortiGate and Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect. The actor is assessed to be an initial access broker or affiliate tied to the Q…
The LiteLLM release 1.107.0 (a widely used open source LLM proxy and AI gateway developed by BerriAI, about 23 million weekly downloads per theregister.com and gbhackers.com, or about 92 million monthly PyPI downloads per bleepingcomputer.com) was trojanized on PyPI on 21 October 2026 and carries a credential stealer (privcollect) plus a …
A vendor-sponsored analysis by Exaforce (published on bleepingcomputer.com) says attackers are enumerating or exfiltrating data within about 15 minutes of gaining access. It describes three patterns: stolen developer GitHub OAuth tokens, ClickFix lures that impersonate Claude Code install instructions to deliver a macOS stealer, and help …
Unit 42 (unit42.paloaltonetworks.com) tracks a campaign, CL-UNK-1211, that compromised government entities and state-affiliated Linux infrastructure between October 2025 and April 2026. Unit 42 published the research on October 15, and gbhackers.com covered it on October 22. The operators carried out reconnaissance, persistence and intell…
Aikido Security published a best-practices guide for defending against software supply chain attacks. It cites Aikido Intel data: about 7.5 million package versions analyzed in Q2 2026, with 19,500 malicious packages confirmed. The guide uses recent incidents to show which controls would have worked: the axios compromise, tj-actions/chang…
Symantec reports that the Russia-linked APT28 (aka Swallowtail, Fancy Bear, Forest Blizzard, BlueDelta), which the U.S. government links to the GRU, targeted organizations in two NATO member states. Victims were a naval shipbuilder, a manufacturer of military aircraft engines and a law enforcement agency (thehackernews.com, cyberscoop.com…
Ivanti released its October 2026 security update on 13 October 2026. It fixes the actively exploited Connect Secure zero-day CVE-2026-104935, a spoofing-based authentication bypass that lets remote, unauthenticated attackers execute arbitrary commands (cert.ssi.gouv.fr, darkwebinformer.com). The flaw was discovered by Volexity, which trac…
Check Point researchers disclosed two high-risk vulnerabilities in LiteLLM, an open-source LLM gateway with almost 100,000 downloads a month. The gateway connects enterprise AI applications to providers such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. The flaws, CVE-2026-35029 and CVE-2026-59823, could let any user with an account on a vulnerable de…
The Wiz Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT) reports a growing number of intrusions in which an AI agent system ran the entire operation: finding entry points, harvesting credentials, pivoting across platforms and debugging its own scripts in real time. In one investigated case, the agent compromised a large multi-cloud organization (GC…
An attacker pushed forged commits to the default branches of two unrelated GitHub projects, hugo-paper and mevn-cli. The commits add a preinstall hook (scripts/preinstall.js) that downloads and silently runs a second-stage script from buildwithknexus.xyz during npm install or bun install. The commits copy the author, date and message of t…
A malicious version 0.7.4 of the mrmustard photonic quantum computing library (Xanadu) was published to PyPI on July 23, 2026, after the account of the project's lead maintainer (ziofil, Filippo Miatto) was compromised. Importing the package reads SSH private keys, AWS credentials and the Kubernetes config, then sends them to an attacker-…
On 4 August 2026, an npm worm published 2,234 poisoned versions across 444 package names, using credentials from twelve organisations. Affected scopes include @ornikar, @deliveroo, @onereach, @or-sdk, @servicetitan, @qlik, @picsart, and the keyv and cacheable families. The keyv, flat-cache, file-entry-cache and cacheable-request packages …
Two beta versions in the @joyfill npm scope, published on July 28, 2026, carried the same blockchain C2 loader seen in the earlier astro.config.mjs attack, which the article ties to the PolinRider campaign. The attacker published through the legitimate scope (a form-builder SDK with three maintainers) under the beta dist-tag. The maliciou…
Researchers at SafeDep analyzed a macOS implant recovered from a compromised workstation. Infection began on 2026-07-26 with a paid YouTube video ad impersonating TradingView that led to a fake .pkg installer. The malware is a remote-controlled task runner, not a single-purpose stealer. It persists via a LaunchAgent that re-fetches a shel…
In September 2026, researchers reported an attack that began inside a live AI coding assistant session at a software company. The attacker gained control of a developer's session, and the assistant recommended a PyPI package that looked normal. The developer installed it, and a hidden infostealer took source code, repository secrets and h…
On October 5, 2026, the RubyGems account reqthrottle3474 published 42 malicious gems within about an hour. Most are named for cryptocurrency developer tooling (e.g. eth-keystore-utils, bip39-wordlist-utils, btc-wallet-tools), and the last 16 typosquat real gems (bitcion, etheremu.rb, kecack, solaan-ruby). The code runs during gem install …
SafeDep identified a malicious tensorlake npm release, version 0.5.144 (about 106,000 monthly downloads), that ran a Mini Shai-Hulud worm on install. It was published at 01:12:07 UTC on 8 October and flagged by SafeDep eight minutes later. The attacker used a repository administrator account to commit the payload to main through the GitHu…
