INTERPOL has coordinated a first-of-its-kind cybercrime crackdown across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) that led to 201 arrests and the identification of an additional 382 suspects. The initiative involved the efforts of 13 countries from the region between October 2025 and February 2026, aiming to investigate and neutralize malicious infrastructure, arrest perpetrators behind…
Security experts have long warned that insecure automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems exposed on the Internet can be tampered with by threat actors.
Monday opens with a trust problem. A mail server flaw is under active use. A network control system was targeted. Trusted packages were poisoned. A fake model page pushed a stealer. Then came the familiar ransom claim: the data was returned and deleted. The pattern is clear. One weak dependency can leak keys. One leaked…
AI agents capable of discovering and exploiting obscure vulnerabilities are emerging alongside developers producing vast amounts of potentially flawed AI-generated code, forcing defenders to adapt accordingly.
What happens when a phishing email looks clean enough to pass through security, but dangerous enough to expose the business after one click? That is the gap many SOCs still struggle with: the attacks that leave teams unsure what was exposed, who else was targeted, and how far the risk has spread. Early phishing detection…
Supply chain attackers are not only trying to slip malicious code into trusted software. They are trying to steal the access that makes trusted software possible. Recently, three separate campaigns hit npm, PyPI, and Docker Hub in a 48-hour window, and all three targeted secrets from developer environments and CI/CD pipelines, including API keys, cloud…
Ivanti, Fortinet, n8n, SAP, and VMware have released security fixes for various vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code. Topping the list is a critical flaw impacting Ivanti Xtraction (CVE-2026-8043, CVSS score: 9.6) that could be exploited to achieve information disclosure or client-side attacks. “External control of…
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered four new npm packages containing information-stealing malware, one of which is a clone of the Shai-Hulud worm open-sourced by TeamPCP. The list of identified packages is below – chalk-tempalte (825 Downloads) @deadcode09284814/axios-util (284 Downloads) axois-utils (963 Downloads) color-style-utils (934 Downloads) “One of the packages (chalk-tempalte)
A new analysis of the Lua-based fast16 malware has confirmed that it was a cyber sabotage tool designed to tamper with nuclear weapons testing simulations. According to Broadcom-owned Symantec and Carbon Black teams, the pre-Stuxnet tool was engineered to corrupt uranium-compression simulations that are central to nuclear weapon design. “Fast16’s hook engine is selectively interested…
