The AI security layer and guardrails for many AI products don’t evenly protect against jailbreaking and unsafe actions in every single language.

Redis shipped seven security releases on July 23 after researchers published authenticated RCE PoCs for stock Redis 6.2.22, 7.4.9, 8.6.4, and 8.8.0. All four chains require RESTORE.

The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) has warned of a new campaign that involves the use of a malicious program that’s dressed up as a Notepad++ plugin to compromise Windows systems. The activity has been attributed by the agency to a threat cluster it tracks as UAC-0099, a Russia-aligned group that has previously…

A state-sponsored threat group, dubbed “Laundry Bear,” sends “half-click” phishing emails that require a victim only to open or preview the message.

A Russian state-supported espionage group spent months reading Western mailboxes through a then-unknown flaw in Zimbra’s webmail client. The payload goes after the last 90 days of email, the organization’s entire email directory, the password saved in the browser and the codes kept for two-factor recovery.

Most of this week’s trouble came dressed as something useful. A package stole data. A fake extension opened remote access. A safety app became spyware. An image gave hidden orders to an AI agent. Other threats hid in open systems, weak code, and normal network traffic. The threats change every week. Subscribe, and we’ll alert…

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a sandbox escape vulnerability in Anthropic’s Claude Cowork that makes it possible to break out of the confines of a Linux virtual machine (VM) within which the agent runs to read or write files anywhere on the Mac. Accomplish AI, which shared details of the vulnerability with The Hacker News ahead…

The Chaos ransomware group ran its command-and-control through the victim’s own browser. Cisco Talos on Thursday detailed msaRAT, the Rust implant behind it, found on a compromised Windows machine ahead of the encryptor. The implant never opens an outbound connection of its own. Its process talks to 127.0.0.1 and nothing else. It starts Chrome or…

An exposed Alibaba Cloud server has revealed a China-nexus operation that Group-IB tracks as JadeProx. The cluster has targeted government, healthcare, and education organizations across Asia and Latin America with a previously undocumented Windows loader called TriBack Loader. Group-IB found the server in mid-April 2026 in Alibaba Cloud’s Singapore region; it was offline by the…

Most people understand identity theft as an attacker stealing a real person’s sensitive information and impersonating them. Synthetic identity fraud is much harder to catch.
