Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two malicious Rust crates impersonating a legitimate library called fast_log to steal Solana and Ethereum wallet keys from source code.
The crates, named faster_log and async_println, were published by the threat actor under the alias rustguruman and dumbnbased on May 25, 2025, amassing 8,424 downloads in total, according to software supply chain
Cisco has warned of a high-severity security flaw in IOS Software and IOS XE Software that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) condition under specific circumstances.
The company said the vulnerability, CVE-2025-20352 (CVSS score: 7.7), has been exploited in the wild, adding it became aware of it “after local Administrator credentials were
Ransomware doesn’t just freeze computers – it can silence alarms too. And when the Natural History Museum in Paris went dark, thieves helped themselves to €600,000 worth of gold in a daring late-night heist. Meanwhile, developers have a new headache: a worm dubbed “Shai Hulud” has wriggled its way through more than 180 npm packages, quietly stealing secrets.
But it’s not all doom and gloom – unless you count your kitchen appliances turning into ad billboards.
All this and more is discussed in episode 436 of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and his special guest Zoë Rose.
A suspected cyber espionage activity cluster that was previously found targeting global government and private sector organizations spanning Africa, Asia, North America, South America, and Oceania has been assessed to be a Chinese state-sponsored threat actor.
Recorded Future, which was tracking the activity under the moniker TAG-100, has now graduated it to a hacking group dubbed RedNovember.
INC is the name of a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation that first appeared in late summer 2023. Learn more about what it has been up to, and how to protect against its attacks, in my article on the Fortra blog.
Companies in the legal services, software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers, Business Process Outsourcers (BPOs), and technology sectors in the U.S. have been targeted by a suspected China-nexus cyber espionage group to deliver a known backdoor referred to as BRICKSTORM.
The activity, attributed to UNC5221 and closely related, suspected China-nexus threat clusters, is designed to facilitate
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed two security flaws in Wondershare RepairIt that exposed private user data and potentially exposed the system to artificial intelligence (AI) model tampering and supply chain risks.
The critical-rated vulnerabilities in question, discovered by Trend Micro, are listed below –
CVE-2025-10643 (CVSS score: 9.1) – An authentication bypass vulnerability that
Most businesses don’t make it past their fifth birthday – studies show that roughly 50% of small businesses fail within the first five years. So when KNP Logistics Group (formerly Knights of Old) celebrated more than a century and a half of operations, it had mastered the art of survival. For 158 years, KNP adapted and endured, building a transport business that operated 500 trucks
U.S. prosecutors last week levied criminal hacking charges against 19-year-old U.K. national Thalha Jubair for allegedly being a core member of Scattered Spider, a prolific cybercrime group blamed for extorting at least $115 million in ransom payments from victims. The charges came as Jubair and an alleged co-conspirator appeared in a London court to face accusations of hacking into and extorting several large U.K. retailers, the London transit system, and healthcare providers in the United States.
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new malware family dubbed YiBackdoor that has been found to share “significant” source code overlaps with IcedID and Latrodectus.
“The exact connection to YiBackdoor is not yet clear, but it may be used in conjunction with Latrodectus and IcedID during attacks,” Zscaler ThreatLabz said in a Tuesday report. “YiBackdoor is able to execute
