The threat actor behind Rhadamanthys has also advertised two other tools called Elysium Proxy Bot and Crypt Service on their website, even as the flagship information stealer has been updated to support the ability to collect device and web browser fingerprints, among others. "Rhadamanthys was initially promoted through posts on cybercrime forums, but soon it became clear that the author had a

Brazilian users have emerged as the target of a new self-propagating malware dubbed SORVEPOTEL that spreads via the popular messaging app WhatsApp. The campaign, codenamed Water Saci by Trend Micro, weaponizes the trust with the platform to extend its reach across Windows systems, adding the attack is "engineered for speed and propagation" rather than data theft or ransomware. "SORVEPOTEL has

Passwork is positioned as an on-premises unified platform for both password and secrets management, aiming to address the increasing complexity of credential storage and sharing in modern organizations. The platform recently received a major update that reworks all the core mechanics. Passwork 7 introduces significant changes to how credentials are organized, accessed, and managed, reflecting

A threat actor that's known to share overlaps with a hacking group called YoroTrooper has been observed targeting the Russian public sector with malware families such as FoalShell and StallionRAT. Cybersecurity vendor BI.ZONE is tracking the activity under the moniker Cavalry Werewolf. It's also assessed to have commonalities with clusters tracked as SturgeonPhisher, Silent Lynx, Comrade Saiga,

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added a high-severity security flaw impacting Smartbedded Meteobridge to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability, CVE-2025-4008 (CVSS score: 8.7), is a case of command injection in the Meteobridge web interface that could result in code execution. "

The threat actor known as Confucius has been attributed to a new phishing campaign that has targeted Pakistan with malware families like WooperStealer and Anondoor. "Over the past decade, Confucius has repeatedly targeted government agencies, military organizations, defense contractors, and critical industries -- especially in Pakistan – using spear-phishing and malicious documents as initial

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a malicious package on the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository that claims to offer the ability to create a SOCKS5 proxy service, while also providing a stealthy backdoor-like functionality to drop additional payloads on Windows systems. The deceptive package, named soopsocks, attracted a total of 2,653 downloads before it was taken down. It was first

Penetration testing is critical to uncovering real-world security weaknesses. With the shift into continuous testing and validation, it is time we automate the delivery of these results. The way results are delivered hasn’t kept up with today’s fast-moving threat landscape. Too often, findings are packaged into static reports, buried in PDFs or spreadsheets, and handed off manually to

From unpatched cars to hijacked clouds, this week’s Threatsday headlines remind us of one thing — no corner of technology is safe. Attackers are scanning firewalls for critical flaws, bending vulnerable SQL servers into powerful command centers, and even finding ways to poison Chrome’s settings to sneak in malicious extensions. On the defense side, AI is stepping up to block ransomware in real

Google Mandiant and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) have disclosed that they are tracking a new cluster of activity possibly linked to a financially motivated threat actor known as Cl0p. The malicious activity involves sending extortion emails to executives at various organizations and claiming to have stolen sensitive data from their Oracle E-Business Suite. "This activity began on or

Running a SOC often feels like drowning in alerts. Every morning, dashboards light up with thousands of signals; some urgent, many irrelevant. The job is to find the real threats fast enough to keep cases from piling up, prevent analyst burnout, and maintain client or leadership confidence. The toughest challenges, however, aren’t the alerts that can be dismissed quickly, but the ones that hide

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two Android spyware campaigns dubbed ProSpy and ToSpy that impersonate apps like Signal and ToTok to target users in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). Slovak cybersecurity company ESET said the malicious apps are distributed via fake websites and social engineering to trick unsuspecting users into downloading them. Once installed, both the spyware

In yet another piece of research, academics from Georgia Institute of Technology and Purdue University have demonstrated that the security guarantees offered by Intel's Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) can be bypassed on DDR4 systems to passively decrypt sensitive data. SGX is designed as a hardware feature in Intel server processors that allows applications to be run in a Trusted Execution

A high-severity security flaw has been disclosed in the One Identity OneLogin Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that, if successfully exploited, could expose sensitive OpenID Connect (OIDC) application client secrets under certain circumstances. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-59363, has been assigned a CVSS score of 7.7 out of 10.0. It has been described as a case of

AI is changing automation—but not always for the better. That’s why we’re hosting a new webinar, "Workflow Clarity: Where AI Fits in Modern Automation," with Thomas Kinsella, Co-founder & Chief Customer Officer at Tines, to explore how leading teams are cutting through the hype and building workflows that actually deliver.The rise of AI has changed how organizations think about automation.

A severe security flaw has been disclosed in the Red Hat OpenShift AI service that could allow attackers to escalate privileges and take control of the complete infrastructure under certain conditions. OpenShift AI is a platform for managing the lifecycle of predictive and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models at scale and across hybrid cloud environments. It also facilitates data

Unknown threat actors are abusing Milesight industrial cellular routers to send SMS messages as part of a smishing campaign targeting users in European countries since at least February 2022. French cybersecurity company SEKOIA said the attackers are exploiting the cellular router's API to send malicious SMS messages containing phishing URLs, with the campaigns primarily targeting Sweden, Italy,

Bitdefender’s 2025 Cybersecurity Assessment Report paints a sobering picture of today’s cyber defense landscape: mounting pressure to remain silent after breaches, a gap between leadership and frontline teams, and a growing urgency to shrink the enterprise attack surface. The annual research combines insights from over 1,200 IT and security professionals across six countries, along with an

A previously undocumented Android banking trojan called Klopatra has compromised over 3,000 devices, with a majority of the infections reported in Spain and Italy. Italian fraud prevention firm Cleafy, which discovered the sophisticated malware and remote access trojan (RAT) in late August 2025, said it leverages Hidden Virtual Network Computing (VNC) for remote control of infected devices and
