Huntress published an explainer on business email compromise (BEC), a targeted form of phishing in which attackers impersonate or take over trusted email accounts to redirect payments or steal credentials. The article cites roughly $55 billion in worldwide losses and a Huntress survey of 500+ US IT professionals, in which 36% of organizat…
Researcher Justin.sh reports on a leaked confidential Cellebrite document describing a new 2026 product called Advanced Unlocks (AU), distinct from the vendor's long-marketed "advanced unlocking services". Cellebrite describes AU as a "next-generation AFU vector that is more resilient to Apple's OS changes". It reportedly works with Apple…
Researcher Harsh Jaiswal of Hacktron describes using the AI-assisted Hacktron CLI with a custom "JDBC driver pack" to audit decompiled JDBC drivers during a bug bounty event. The audit surfaced multiple vulnerabilities across vendor drivers, earning $85,000 in bounties. The headline finding is in the Databricks JDBC driver, where an attac…
Hacktron published a vendor blog post arguing that frontier models such as Anthropic's Mythos are unnecessary for most vulnerability discovery work. To support this, it benchmarked its scanning pipeline across several LLMs against two zero-day authentication bypasses it found in oauth2-proxy v7.15.0: CVE-2026-34457 and CVE-2026-40575. Its…
A Hacktron researcher argues that AI-assisted vulnerability research is rapidly widening the enterprise attack surface. He cites recent breaches at Vercel and GitHub and a wave of critical CVEs in F5, Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto and ImageMagick. According to the author, the Vercel compromise began with a breach of the AI platform Context.a…
The DNS root zone is scheduled to switch its key-signing key (KSK) on October 11, 2026, only the second root KSK rollover ever. KSK-2024 (key tag 38696) will replace KSK-2017 (key tag 20326) as signer of the root DNSKEY set. DNSSEC-validating resolvers that do not trust the new key could fail validation and make healthy websites under any…
ESET warns that QR-code phishing ("quishing") is a growing way to slip past corporate email security. According to the ESET Threat Report H1 2026, malicious QR codes were embedded in 11% of all phishing emails in the first half of 2026. The codes hide destination URLs from filters that cannot extract and inspect them, and they move the vi…
ESET's WeLiveSecurity warns that AI and large language models (LLMs) now automate OSINT reconnaissance at machine speed. Profiling that once took a skilled attacker hours or days can be done by low-skill actors, so ordinary internet users are now economically viable fraud targets. Fraudsters can collect public information at scale, includ…
A keynote at Black Hat USA 2026 by associate professor Yan Shoshitaishvili and his undergraduate students at Arizona State University examined the growing use of AI models for vulnerability discovery. The team used the 479 Linux kernel vulnerabilities attributed to Anthropic's Claude Mythos (as reported by the Washington Post) as a benchm…
This ESET blog post argues that AI is speeding up the threat landscape for SMBs, both by empowering threat actors and by widening the attack surface as businesses adopt AI faster than they govern it. The ESET SMB Cyber Readiness Index 2026 reports that 73% of SMBs are integrating AI, 40% lack a proper AI policy, and 45% suffered a cyberse…
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…
Scammers continue to exploit Bitcoin/crypto ATMs as an irreversible payment channel in impersonation fraud. According to the FBI, 13,460 such complaints in 2025 resulted in $389 million in losses, a 23% rise in volume and 58% rise in losses over 2024. Victims over 50 lost more than $302M, and those over 60 accounted for $257.4M. The scam …
Scammers are exploiting the annual Medicare Open Enrollment period (October 15 to December 7) as a pretext to impersonate insurers, agencies or Medicare itself. Contact comes by phone, SMS, email, social media and malicious Google ads that lead to spoofed, official-looking websites. Lures include plan changes, card replacement, lower prem…
This ESET WeLiveSecurity article explains email bombing (also called form, list or subscription bombing) and cites a September report of a Virginia woman flooded with hundreds of emails in 24 hours. The flood hid a genuine bank alert about a fraudulent laptop purchase. Attackers use bots to sign a harvested email address up to many legiti…
SentinelOne argues that "EDR killer" covers four different techniques, and a single driver-load rule leaves blind spots. The four are bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver (BYOVD), bring-your-own-installer, admin-to-kernel, and driverless suspension. The article gives hunt logic for each and recommends rolling them out in order of signal quali…
CRPx0 is a cybercrime operation that began as a scam and then pivoted into a full ransomware and cryptocurrency business. The source is a short Fortra blog teaser by Graham Cluley that points to a fuller article. The teaser gives no victim names, sectors, technical details, IOCs, CVEs, TTPs or attribution beyond the operation's name. Defe…
Episode 485 of the Smashing Security podcast, hosted by Graham Cluley with guest Lianne Potter, covers several security stories. Researchers who wanted to test LG smart TVs for security risks got around the terms and conditions by setting up the TV while drunk, on the reasoning that they could not be bound by a contract agreed to while in…
