Cyber threats don’t show up one at a time anymore. They’re layered, planned, and often stay hidden until it’s too late.
For cybersecurity teams, the key isn’t just reacting to alerts—it’s spotting early signs of trouble before they become real threats. This update is designed to deliver clear, accurate insights based on real patterns and changes we can verify. With today’s complex systems, we
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a malware campaign that uses fake software installers masquerading as popular tools like LetsVPN and QQ Browser to deliver the Winos 4.0 framework.
The campaign, first detected by Rapid7 in February 2025, involves the use of a multi-stage, memory-resident loader called Catena.
“Catena uses embedded shellcode and configuration switching logic to stage
The malware known as Latrodectus has become the latest to embrace the widely-used social engineering technique called ClickFix as a distribution vector.
“The ClickFix technique is particularly risky because it allows the malware to execute in memory rather than being written to disk,” Expel said in a report shared with The Hacker News. “This removes many opportunities for browsers or security
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed that a threat actor codenamed ViciousTrap has compromised nearly 5,300 unique network edge devices across 84 countries and turned them into a honeypot-like network.
The threat actor has been observed exploiting a critical security flaw impacting Cisco Small Business RV016, RV042, RV042G, RV082, RV320, and RV325 Routers (CVE-2023-20118) to corral them into

From zero-day exploits to large-scale bot attacks — the demand for a powerful, self-hosted, and user-friendly web application security solution has never been greater.
SafeLine is currently the most starred open-source Web Application Firewall (WAF) on GitHub, with over 16.4K stars and a rapidly growing global user base.
This walkthrough covers what SafeLine is, how it works, and why it’s
Cybercriminals are getting smarter. Not by developing new types of malware or exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, but by simply pretending to be helpful IT support desk workers.
Find out how they do it in my article on the Tripwire State of Security blog.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) on Thursday announced the disruption of the online infrastructure associated with DanaBot (aka DanaTools) and unsealed charges against 16 individuals for their alleged involvement in the development and deployment of the malware, which it said was controlled by a Russia-based cybercrime organization.
The malware, the DoJ said, infected more than 300,000
