The cycle is over. For years, cybersecurity followed a familiar pattern: defenses improved, attackers adapted, and the back-and-forth continued. Today, AI-equipped attackers are simply outpacing defenses. Most intrusions now bypass endpoint and malware-based detection entirely. The CrowdStrike Global Threat Report estimates around 79% of attacks are malware-free, as threat actors rely on

German and US law enforcement have taken down the core infrastructure of Kratos, described by German investigators as one of the world’s most widely used criminal phishing kits, and Indonesian authorities arrested the man they say developed and ran it. In a joint announcement on Monday, the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s cybercrime unit (ZIT) and Germany’s…

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a NuGet typosquat that’s unlike the typical information-stealing malware distributed via package registries: usual info-stealers: it’s designed to rig live game results on Digitain. The package, named “Newtonsoftt.Json.Net,” masquerades as the Newtonsoft.Json library and is a trojanized fork. Seven versions of the package have been published to the

A single invisible comment in an Azure DevOps pull request can turn a reviewer’s own AI coding agent against them, driving it into projects the attacker has no rights to reach and quietly leaking what it finds. The flaw is in Microsoft’s official Azure DevOps MCP server, and it works because one of its tools…

OpenAI on Tuesday said a combination of its artificial intelligence (AI) models, including GPT-5.6 Sol and an “even more capable pre-release model,” was behind the security incident that targeted Hugging Face’s production infrastructure last week. The AI company said the models were operating with “reduced cyber refusals for evaluation purposes” that might otherwise limit their…

Researchers pointed to fragmentation of the ransomware ecosystem, the emergence of new attackers, and expansion of attacks on less defended organizations.

The latest large language models have high false-positive rates and fail to take into account the context of scans, leading to more work for AppSec professionals.

Apple has moved to address a security flaw in its Hide My Email service that enabled users’ real email addresses to be unmasked, effectively undermining the feature’s privacy guarantees. 404 Media reported Tuesday that a fix for the issue was deployed by Apple on July 3, 2026, after more than a year, when it was…

A Russian-speaking actor, “Trim,” dismantled publicly available frontier models and integrated them with offensive security tools.

Hidden text on a web page was enough to make Kiro, AWS’s agentic coding IDE, rewrite its own configuration file and run an attacker’s code on a developer’s machine, with no approval step able to stop it. Intezer, in research with Kodem Security, found that a request as ordinary as asking Kiro to summarize a…
