Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new variant ofmalware called Chaosthat’scapable of hitting misconfigured cloud deployments, marking an expansion of the botnet’s targeting infrastructure.
“Chaos malware is increasingly targeting misconfigured cloud deployments, expanding beyond its traditional focus on routers and edge devices,” Darktrace said in a new report.

Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the curtain on a stealthy botnet that’s designed for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Called Masjesu, the botnet has been advertised via Telegram as a DDoS-for-hire service since it first surfaced in 2023. It’s capable of targeting a wide range of IoT devices, such as routers and gateways, spanning multiple architectures.

The Fragmented State of Modern Enterprise Identity
Enterprise IAM is approaching a breaking point. As organizations scale, identity becomes increasingly fragmented across thousands of applications, decentralized teams, machine identities, and autonomous systems. 
The result is Identity Dark Matter: identity activity that sits outside the visibility of centralized IAM and

Artificial Intelligence (AI) company Anthropic announced a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing that will use a preview version of its new frontier model, Claude Mythos, to find and address security vulnerabilities.
The model will be used by a small set of organizations, including Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike,&

The North Korea-linked persistent campaign known as Contagious Interview has spread its tentacles by publishing malicious packages targeting the Go, Rust, and PHP ecosystems.
“The threat actor’s packages were designed to impersonate legitimate developer tooling […], while quietly functioning as malware loaders, extending Contagious Interview’s established playbook into a coordinated

Iran-affiliated cyber actors are targeting internet-facing operational technology (OT) devices across critical infrastructures in the U.S., including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), cybersecurity and intelligence agencies warned Tuesday.
“These attacks have led to diminished PLC functionality, manipulation of display data and, in some cases, operational disruption and financial

The Russia-linked threat actor known as APT28 (aka Forest Blizzard) has been linked to a new campaign that has compromised insecure MikroTik and TP-Link routers and modified their settings to turn them into malicious infrastructure under their control as part of a cyber espionage campaign since at least May 2025.
The large-scale exploitation campaign has been codenamed 

In the rapid evolution of the 2026 threat landscape, a frustrating paradox has emerged for CISOs and security leaders: Identity programs are maturing, yet the risk is actually increasing.
According to new research from the Ponemon Institute, hundreds of applications within the typical enterprise remain disconnected from centralized identity systems. These “dark

When talking about credential security, the focus usually lands on breach prevention. This makes sense when IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report puts the average cost of a breach at $4.4 million. Avoiding even one major incident is enough to justify most security investments, but that headline figure obscures the more persistent problems caused by recurring credential

New academic research has identified multiple RowHammer attacks against high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) that could be exploited to escalate privileges and, in some cases, even take full control of a host.
The efforts have been codenamed GPUBreach, GDDRHammer, and GeForge.
GPUBreach goes a step further than GPUHammer, demonstrating for the first time that
