Google on Friday said it’s pursuing legal action against a Chinese cybercrime network, accusing it of using its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) agent to send phishing text messages targeting Americans. The network is said to be behind the development and management of a phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) software kit called Outsider, per the tech giant. “The operation […]

Instead of hiding on the laptops and servers defenders watch most closely, a China-nexus group spent close to a decade hidden inside the Linux login system itself. Sygnia, which tracks the group as Velvet Ant, says it backdoored the PAM and OpenSSH components that decide who is allowed to sign in, planting its access where

The US government has ordered Anthropic to block all foreign nationals from accessing Fable 5 and Mythos 5, forcing the company to suspend both models worldwide. Anthropic is complying but disputes the basis, calling the cited jailbreak narrow and the capability widely available elsewhere. […]

Maine has taken its public data breach reporting portal offline after fraudulent breach disclosures were published on the state’s website, prompting a review of procedures to prevent abuse in the future. […]

Cybersecurity researchers have described what they say is a new class of attack that can trick artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents into running arbitrary code on developer machines. Called Agentjacking by Tenet Security, the attack can be triggered by means of a fake error report crafted using Sentry, an open-source error-tracking and performance-monitoring platform. “The

A 10-year-old authentication bypass vulnerability discovered in the phpBB forum software allows an attacker to log in as any user, including administrators. […]

For most of the past decade, managed detection and response was the answer to a real problem. Security teams couldn’t staff around the clock, couldn’t hire enough analysts, and needed someone else to handle the alert queue. MDR stepped in. It worked well enough. Until now. The threat landscape has changed faster than the MDR

Attackers took over more than 400 packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) this week and rewrote their build scripts to install a credential stealer on any machine that built them. The malware is a Rust binary built to harvest developer secrets. When it lands with root, it can also load an eBPF rootkit to

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of three now-patched security flaws impacting LangGraph, including a critical vulnerability chain that could result in remote code execution. LangGraph is an open-source framework created by LangChain to build complex, stateful, and multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI) agentic applications. “An SQL injection in LangGraph’s function could

An INTERPOL-led operation last month resulted in the disruption of Sniper Dz, a decade-long phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform, Group-IB said Thursday. The effort, codenamed Operation Ramz, took place between October 2025 and February 2026, and saw authorities from 13 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region making 201 arrests. Included among them was
