Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a new versatile malware loader called CastleLoader that has been put to use in campaigns distributing various information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). The activity employs Cloudflare-themed ClickFix phishing attacks and fake GitHub repositories opened under the names of legitimate applications, Swiss cybersecurity company PRODAFT said in

Virtualization and networking infrastructure have been targeted by a threat actor codenamed Fire Ant as part of a prolonged cyber espionage campaign. The activity, observed this year, is primarily designed Now to infiltrate organizations’ VMware ESXi and vCenter environments as well as network appliances, Sygnia said in a new report published today. “The threat actor

Mitel has released security updates to address a critical security flaw in MiVoice MX-ONE that could allow an attacker to bypass authentication protections. “An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the Provisioning Manager component of Mitel MiVoice MX-ONE, which, if successfully exploited, could allow an unauthenticated attacker to conduct an authentication bypass attack

The threat actor behind the exploitation of vulnerable Craft Content Management System (CMS) instances has shifted its tactics to target Magento CMS and misconfigured Docker instances. The activity has been attributed to a threat actor tracked as Mimo (aka Hezb), which has a long history of leveraging N-day security flaws in various web applications to

The Windows banking trojan known as Coyote has become the first known malware strain to exploit the Windows accessibility framework called UI Automation (UIA) to harvest sensitive information. “The new Coyote variant is targeting Brazilian users, and uses UIA to extract credentials linked to 75 banking institutes’ web addresses and cryptocurrency exchanges,” Akamai security researcher

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on July 22, 2025, added two Microsoft SharePoint flaws, CVE-2025-49704 and CVE-2025-49706, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. To that end, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are required to remediate identified vulnerabilities by July 23, 2025. “CISA is

Google has announced the launch of a new initiative called OSS Rebuild to bolster the security of the open-source package ecosystems and prevent software supply chain attacks. “As supply chain attacks continue to target widely-used dependencies, OSS Rebuild gives security teams powerful data to avoid compromise without burden on upstream maintainers,” Matthew Suozzo, Google Open

Security experts have been talking about Kerberoasting for over a decade, yet this attack continues to evade typical defense methods. Why? It’s because existing detections rely on brittle heuristics and static rules, which don’t hold up for detecting potential attack patterns in highly variable Kerberos traffic. They frequently generate false positives or miss “low-and-slow” attacks

Microsoft has formally tied the exploitation of security flaws in internet-facing SharePoint Server instances to two Chinese hacking groups called Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as early as July 7, 2025, corroborating earlier reports. The tech giant said it also observed a third China-based threat actor, which it tracks as Storm-2603, weaponizing the flaws as

The recently disclosed critical Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability has been under exploitation as early as July 7, 2025, according to findings from Check Point Research. The cybersecurity company said it observed first exploitation attempts targeting an unnamed major Western government, with the activity intensifying on July 18 and 19, spanning government, telecommunications, and software
