Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a stealthy Python-based backdoor framework called DEEP#DOOR that comes with capabilities to establish persistent access and harvest a wide range of sensitive information from compromised hosts. “The intrusion chain begins with execution of a batch script (‘install_obf.bat’) that disables Windows security controls, dynamically extracts an

The internet is noisy this week. We are seeing some wild new tactics, like people using fake cell towers to send scam texts, while some developers are accidentally downloading tools that peek into their private files during a simple install. It is definitely a busy time to be online. Security is always a moving target.

In yet another software supply chain attack, threat actors have managed to compromise the popular Python package Lightning to push two malicious versions to conduct credential theft. According to Aikido Security, OX Security, Socket, and StepSecurity, the two malicious versions are versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3, both of which were published on April 30, 2026. The

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a Linux local privilege escalation (LPE) flaw that could allow an unprivileged local user to obtain root. The high-severity vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-31431 (CVSS score: 7.8) has been codenamed Copy Fail by Xint.io and Theori. “An unprivileged local user can write four controlled bytes into the page cache of

Intro A sophisticated, high-resilience malicious campaign was identified by Atos Threat Research Center (TRC) in March 2026. This operation specifically targets the high-privilege professional accounts of enterprise administrators, DevOps engineers, and security analysts by impersonating administrative utilities they rely on for daily operations. By integrating Search Engine Order (SEO)

In February 2026, researchers uncovered a shift that completely changed the game: threat actors are now using custom AI setups to automate attacks directly into the kill chain. We aren’t just talking about AI writing better phishing emails anymore. We’re talking about autonomous agents mapping Active Directory and seizing Domain Admin credentials in minutes. The

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered malicious code in an npm package after a malicious package as a dependency to the project by Anthropic’s Claude Opus large language model (LLM). The package in question is “@validate-sdk/v2,” which is listed on npm as a utility software development kit (SDK) for hashing, validation, encoding/decoding, and secure random generation. However,

Cybersecurity researchers are sounding the alarm about a new supply chain attack campaign targeting SAP-related npm Packages with credential-stealing malware. According to reports from Aikido Security, SafeDep, Socket, StepSecurity, and Google-owned Wiz, the campaign – calling itself the mini Shai-Hulud – has affected the following packages associated with SAP’s JavaScript and cloud application

cPanel has released security updates to address a security issue impacting various authentication paths that could allow an attacker to obtain access to the control panel software.

Every security team has a version of the same story. The quarter ends with hundreds of vulnerabilities closed. The dashboards are bursting with green. Then someone in a leadership meeting asks: “So, are we actually safer now?” Crickets. The room goes quiet because an honest answer requires context – which is something that patch counts
