Ask an AI agent to summarize the reviews on a product page, and a single planted review can make it click “Buy Now” instead. Ask a coding assistant to apply a maintainer’s fix from a GitHub thread, and a fake comment can make it run a stranger’s command on your computer. Neither trick hijacks the…
What is the Attack? A software supply chain attack targeted the widely used JavaScript library Axios after an attacker reportedly compromised a maintainer’s npm account and published malicious package versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4.

South Korea’s financial sector has been targeted by what has been described as a sophisticated supply chain attack that led to the deployment of Qilin ransomware. “This operation combined the capabilities of a major Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) group, Qilin, with potential involvement from North Korean state-affiliated actors (Moonstone Sleet), leveraging Managed Service Provider (MSP)
Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the lid on a previously undocumented threat cluster dubbed GhostRedirector that has managed to compromise at least 65 Windows servers primarily located in Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam. The attacks, per Slovak cybersecurity company ESET, led to the deployment of a passive C++ backdoor called Rungan and a native Internet Information Services…
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a critical security flaw impacting Adobe Experience Manager to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-54253 (CVSS score: 10.0), a maximum-severity misconfiguration bug that could result in arbitrary code execution.
As the definition of machine identities broadens, AI agents working on behalf of the user and gaining access to various services blurs the lines of non-human identities even more.
