An ongoing phishing campaign is employing copyright infringement-related themes to trick victims into downloading a newer version of the Rhadamanthys information stealer since July 2024. Cybersecurity firm Check Point is tracking the large-scale campaign under the name CopyRh(ight)adamantys. Targeted regions include the United States, Europe, East Asia, and South America. “The campaign
Cybersecurity researchers are warning that a critical zero-day vulnerability impacting Zyxel CPE Series devices is seeing active exploitation attempts in the wild. “Attackers can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on affected devices, leading to complete system compromise, data exfiltration, or network infiltration,” GreyNoise researcher Glenn Thorpe said in an alert
Multiple decade-old security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the needrestart package installed by default in Ubuntu Server (since version 21.04) that could allow a local attacker to gain root privileges without requiring user interaction. The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU), which identified and reported the flaws early last month, said they are trivial to exploit,…
Cybersecurity researchers have revealed several malicious packages on the npm registry that have been found impersonating the Nomic Foundation’s Hardhat tool in order to steal sensitive data from developer systems. “By exploiting trust in open source plugins, attackers have infiltrated these platforms through malicious npm packages, exfiltrating critical data such as private keys, mnemonics,
Cybersecurity leaders aren’t just dealing with attacks—they’re also protecting trust, keeping systems running, and maintaining their organization’s reputation. This week’s developments highlight a bigger issue: as we rely more on digital tools, hidden weaknesses can quietly grow. Just fixing problems isn’t enough anymore—resilience needs to be built into everything from the ground up.
It’s been a decade since the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) introduced its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 1.0. Created following a 2013 Executive Order, NIST was tasked with designing a voluntary cybersecurity framework that would help organizations manage cyber risk, providing guidance based on established standards and best practices. While this version was originally
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has broken his silence nearly two weeks after his arrest in France, stating the charges are misguided. “If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself,” Durov said in a 600-word statement on his Telegram account. “Using laws…
Google has released its monthly security updates for Android with fixes for 46 security flaws, including one vulnerability that it said has been exploited in the wild. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-27363 (CVSS score: 8.1), a high-severity flaw in the System component that could lead to local code execution without requiring any additional execution…
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a novel attack technique called TokenBreak that can be used to bypass a large language model’s (LLM) safety and content moderation guardrails with just a single character change. “The TokenBreak attack targets a text classification model’s tokenization strategy to induce false negatives, leaving end targets vulnerable to attacks that the implemented
A malware campaign has been observed delivering a remote access trojan (RAT) named AsyncRAT by making use of Python payloads and TryCloudflare tunnels. “AsyncRAT is a remote access trojan (RAT) that exploits the async/await pattern for efficient, asynchronous communication,” Forcepoint X-Labs researcher Jyotika Singh said in an analysis. “It allows attackers to control infected systems
