Cyberthreat groups increasingly see small and medium businesses, especially those with links to larger businesses, as the weak link in the supply chain for software and IT services.

A new Android malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform named SuperCard X can facilitate near-field communication (NFC) relay attacks, enabling cybercriminals to conduct fraudulent cashouts. The active campaign is targeting customers of banking institutions and card issuers in Italy with an aim to compromise payment card data, fraud prevention firm Cleafy said in an analysis. There is evidence…

The AI security race is on — and it will be won where defenders come together with developers and researchers to do things right.

The problem is simple: all breaches start with initial access, and initial access comes down to two primary attack vectors – credentials and devices. This is not news; every report you can find on the threat landscape depicts the same picture.  The solution is more complex. For this article, we’ll focus on the device threat…

Can a harmless click really lead to a full-blown cyberattack? Surprisingly, yes — and that’s exactly what we saw in last week’s activity. Hackers are getting better at hiding inside everyday actions: opening a file, running a project, or logging in like normal. No loud alerts. No obvious red flags. Just quiet entry through small…

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a surge in “mass scanning, credential brute-forcing, and exploitation attempts” originating from IP addresses associated with a Russian bulletproof hosting service provider named Proton66. The activity, detected since January 8, 2025, targeted organizations worldwide, according to a two-part analysis published by Trustwave SpiderLabs last week.  “Net

The Russian state-sponsored threat actor known as APT29 has been linked to an advanced phishing campaign that’s targeting diplomatic entities across Europe with a new variant of WINELOADER and a previously unreported malware loader codenamed GRAPELOADER. “While the improved WINELOADER variant is still a modular backdoor used in later stages, GRAPELOADER is a newly observed…

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered three malicious packages in the npm registry that masquerade as a popular Telegram bot library but harbor SSH backdoors and data exfiltration capabilities. The packages in question are listed below – node-telegram-utils (132 downloads) node-telegram-bots-api (82 downloads) node-telegram-util (73 downloads) According to supply chain

ASUS has disclosed a critical security flaw impacting routers with AiCloud enabled that could permit remote attackers to perform unauthorized execution of functions on susceptible devices. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-2492, has a CVSS score of 9.2 out of a maximum of 10.0. “An improper authentication control vulnerability exists in certain ASUS router firmware series,”

Threat actors would be at least temporarily derailed, experts say. But the real issue ladders back to organizations’ weak cyber hygiene.
