Check Point has patched two critical vulnerabilities in the way its firewall and management products handle VPN certificates. The company says both could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to run code, but only “under specific conditions” that it has not described. One flaw affects Check Point’s Security Gateways, its firewall appliances. The other affects those […]

Bad actors are misusing Google Play’s Early Access program to push deceptive apps that claim to offer money, rewards, casino winnings, and premium content. Early Access apps are apps that haven’t been released on the official Android app marketplace. The main idea behind the program is for developers to solicit user feedback for new applications

A lot of this week’s security news has the same awkward answer to one question: “Why was that allowed to work?” An extension asks for access and takes too much. A trusted service becomes part of a phishing chain. An old bug still gets results. An exposed system stays exposed. A package looks useful right

The Gigabud banking trojan now installs a second Android app that creates a work profile on an infected phone and drops a tampered banking app inside it, security firm Group-IB said in a report published on September 9. A work profile is a separate space that Android typically reserves for employer apps, and what’s inside it

A suspected Russian-speaking cyber actor has been attributed to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to devise exploits targeting a recently disclosed pair of security flaws in PaperCut NG/MF and break into hundreds of instances. According to independent reports from Blackpoint Cyber and GreyNoise, the activity originates from “45.142.193[.]132,” an IP address that has been

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) on Wednesday announced coordinated actions aimed at an illicit online marketplace called Xinbi Guarantee that offered scam services, including seizing Telegram channels used to run the service, confiscating two cryptocurrency wallets, and deploying the Scam Center Strike Force to Madagascar to help disrupt 13 scam compounds run by Chinese

Cybercriminals are hijacking artificial intelligence (AI) user accounts via information stealer logs to create “stolen keys” that grant illicit access to tools from model providers like Google, Anthropic, and others.  Information stealers like Lumma Stealer or Vidar are equipped to harvest a wide range of data from compromised systems. This can include credential, session tokens,

Multiple espionage-motivated threat activity clusters have been found deploying a previously undocumented exploit kit called BlueMoon that chains together multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome. The first in-the-wild use of BlueMoon has been attributed to the China-aligned state-sponsored group tracked as APT31 (aka Bronze Vinewood, Judgement Panda, JungleBamboo,

A major vulnerability is disclosed. The alert lands immediately. Then comes the harder question: Are we actually exposed? For many security teams, answering that means jumping between vulnerability scanners, endpoint tools, cloud inventories, SBOMs, repositories, and application data to build enough context to act. As AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and research, that delay matters more

A flaw in DeepSeek Harness, DeepSeek’s open-source tool for running AI coding agents on a developer’s machine, let a sandboxed agent turn off its own sandbox with a single command. The tool runs an agent’s commands inside an operating-system sandbox, so that an agent working on untrusted files cannot write outside its workspace. The agent
