Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a new malware campaign that makes use of a PowerShell-based shellcode loader to deploy a remote access trojan called Remcos RAT.
“Threat actors delivered malicious LNK files embedded within ZIP archives, often disguised as Office documents,” Qualys security researcher Akshay Thorve said in a technical report. “The attack chain leverages mshta.exe for

Modern apps move fast—faster than most security teams can keep up. As businesses rush to build in the cloud, security often lags behind. Teams scan code in isolation, react late to cloud threats, and monitor SOC alerts only after damage is done.
Attackers don’t wait. They exploit vulnerabilities within hours. Yet most organizations take days to respond to critical cloud alerts. That delay isn’t

In what experts are calling a novel legal outcome, the 22-year-old former administrator of the cybercrime community Breachforums will forfeit nearly $700,000 to settle a civil lawsuit from a health insurance company whose customer data was posted for sale on the forum in 2023. Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, a.k.a. “Pompompurin,” is slated for resentencing next month after pleading guilty to access device fraud and possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Austrian privacy non-profit noyb (none of your business) has sent Meta’s Irish headquarters a cease-and-desist letter, threatening the company with a class action lawsuit if it proceeds with its plans to train users’ data for training its artificial intelligence (AI) models without an explicit opt-in.
The move comes weeks after the social media behemoth announced its plans to train its AI models

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has disclosed that unknown cyber actors broke into its systems and stole account data for a small subset of its customers.
“Criminals targeted our customer support agents overseas,” the company said in a statement. “They used cash offers to convince a small group of insiders to copy data in our customer support tools for less than 1% of Coinbase monthly

Imagine this: Your organization completed its annual penetration test in January, earning high marks for security compliance. In February, your development team deployed a routine software update. By April, attackers had already exploited a vulnerability introduced in that February update, gaining access to customer data weeks before being finally detected.
This situation isn’t theoretical: it

Ransomware has evolved into a deceptive, highly coordinated and dangerously sophisticated threat capable of crippling organizations of any size. Cybercriminals now exploit even legitimate IT tools to infiltrate networks and launch ransomware attacks. In a chilling example, Microsoft recently disclosed how threat actors misused its Quick Assist remote assistance tool to deploy the destructive

A Russia-linked threat actor has been attributed to a cyber espionage operation targeting webmail servers such as Roundcube, Horde, MDaemon, and Zimbra via cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, including a then-zero-day in MDaemon, according to new findings from ESET.
The activity, which commenced in 2023, has been codenamed Operation RoundPress by the Slovak cybersecurity company. It has

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious package named “os-info-checker-es6” that disguises itself as an operating system information utility to stealthily drop a next-stage payload onto compromised systems.
“This campaign employs clever Unicode-based steganography to hide its initial malicious code and utilizes a Google Calendar event short link as a dynamic dropper for its final

Google on Wednesday released updates to address four security issues in its Chrome web browser, including one for which it said there exists an exploit in the wild.
The high-severity vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-4664 (CVSS score: 4.3), has been characterized as a case of insufficient policy enforcement in a component called Loader.
