Attackers don’t need any special authentication to reach a target endpoint — they just need to know where it is.

As AI reshapes cybersecurity workflows, John Paul Cunningham, CISO at SIlverfort, says the technology is creating opportunities rather than eliminating jobs — and there are more ways than ever to break into the essential field.

Separate but similar campaigns described by Microsoft and Trend Micro use malicious zip files to spread malware via social engineering and obsfucation, including blockchain abuse.

New Microsoft research shows how attackers can hijack AI agents that act on a user’s behalf, using nothing more than a poisoned tool description to make the agent quietly hand over company data to an outsider. The trick is that the agent never breaks a rule. Every step looks routine, so in a default setup no alarm…

A new two-stage malware family called RustDuck is hijacking home routers, IP cameras, Android boxes, and poorly secured servers, then stitching them into a network built to knock websites and online services offline. Researchers at QiAnXin’s XLab have tracked it since February 2026, and say the real story is not how big it is today, but how…

Threat actors are continuing to exploit a critical Langflow vulnerability as part of fresh attacks designed to deliver a Monero cryptocurrency miner. The activity has been found to weaponize CVE-2026-33017 (CVSS score: 9.3), an unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Langflow, indicating threat actors are scanning and targeting exposed artificial intelligence (AI)

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged an active browser extension campaign that is designed to steal cryptocurrency by stealthily replacing wallet addresses when unsuspecting users initiate a transaction. The cryptocurrency clipper activity has been codenamed Silent Swap by McAfee Labs. “The campaign is delivered through unsigned installers – observed in both .NET and Golang variants – that

The safety check that is supposed to stop an AI coding agent from running a dangerous command can be walked straight past using a shell trick that has been public for decades. New research from Adversa AI, which is named the bypass GuardFall, found it works against ten of the eleven popular open-source coding and computer-use…

Researchers tested 444 AI chatbot apps for iPhone and found that 282 of them, nearly two-thirds, exposed paid AI access through their network traffic. In many cases, the path in was visible just by watching what the app sent: a plaintext API key, a reusable token, or a backend server that accepted requests with no…

Teams are dealing with a truly dangerous problem — automation that works, but that no one understands.
