Job pressures have increased as companies run headlong into AI adoption, causing 26% of top security executives to consider leaving their position.

“The TFF Trap” uses fileless techniques and loaders with low detection rates to deploy various RATs and stealers, including Agent Tesla, Remcos, XWorm, and Best Private Logger.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered nearly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories, out of which more than 800 pose as artificial intelligence (AI) skills or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to deliver a malware family known as SmartLoader as part of an ongoing campaign codenamed FakeGit. “FakeGit uses copied projects, lookalike developer profiles, convincing READMEs, and malicious ZIP

A malware operator left its delivery server wide open, and Rapid7 pulled down the whole toolkit: 1,048 files spanning lure templates, filename-spoofing tests, execution experiments, droppers, builder notes, and two campaign chains. One was already live against Windows users in Mexico, delivering an infostealer through a fake government ID-lookup site over WebDAV. What makes it…

A newly discovered espionage implant has been using a hijacked Microsoft 365 calendar as its command channel, planting operator instructions and smuggling out stolen files as attachments on calendar events dated to the year 2050. Group-IB, which named the malware HollowGraph, says the approach moves tasking and stolen data through legitimate Microsoft Graph API traffic,…

From the World Cup to the United States’ 250th celebration, this year’s event calendar has been packed with high-profile gatherings that drew global audiences, intense scrutiny, and enormous security demands.

A single request should not be able to do this much. But this week, small inputs led to code execution, memory loss, stolen keys, and disabled security tools. The paths were often simple: exposed systems, weak checks, old drivers, fake prompts, and public code used for malware delivery. Some bugs were new. Others were already…

At least one Russian intelligence service is systematically hijacking internet-connected security cameras across Europe and Ukraine, using the feeds to watch military transport routes, weapons shipments bound for Kyiv, and the locations of Ukrainian troops. That is the finding of a cybersecurity advisory published July 10 by the AIVD and MIVD, the Netherlands’ civilian and…

The industry spent the initial months after Anthropic’s April 7 Mythos reveal focused on volume. How many new CVEs would Mythos add to an already overloaded pipeline? How quickly would the flood of AI-driven discovery overwhelm triage capabilities? How long would it take adversaries to weaponize Mythos findings at scale? Those questions were and remain…

Opening a crafted XZ archive in 7-Zip could let an attacker run code on the machine. The flaw, CVE-2026-14266, is a heap-based buffer overflow in how the archiver processes XZ chunked data, and Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) detailed it on July 15. A fix shipped on June 25 in 7-Zip 26.02. The overflow…
