“These apps deliver their fraud payload using steganography and create hidden WebViews to navigate to threat actor-owned cashout sites, generating fraudulent ad impressions and clicks,” HUMAN’s Satori Threat Intelligence and

Cybersecurity researchers have warned of a new campaign that’s leveraging a variant of the FileFix social engineering tactic to deliver the StealC information stealer malware.
“The observed campaign uses a highly convincing, multilingual phishing site (e.g., fake Facebook Security page), with anti-analysis techniques and advanced obfuscation to evade detection,” Acronis security researcher Eliad

Apple on Monday backported fixes for a recently patched security flaw that has been actively exploited in the wild.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-43300 (CVSS score: 8.8), an out-of-bounds write issue in the ImageIO component that could result in memory corruption when processing a malicious image file.

AI agents are rapidly becoming a core part of the enterprise, being embedded across enterprise workflows, operating with autonomy, and making decisions about which systems to access and how to use them. But as agents grow in power and autonomy, so do the risks and threats. 
Recent studies show 80% of companies have already experienced unintended AI agent actions, from unauthorized system

A team of academics from ETH Zürich and Google has discovered a new variant of a RowHammer attack targeting Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) memory chips from South Korean semiconductor vendor SK Hynix.
The RowHammer attack variant, codenamed Phoenix (CVE-2025-6202, CVSS score: 7.1), is capable of bypassing sophisticated protection mechanisms put in place to resist the attack.
“We have proven that

Attacks that target users in their web browsers have seen an unprecedented rise in recent years. In this article, we’ll explore what a “browser-based attack” is, and why they’re proving to be so effective. 
What is a browser-based attack?
First, it’s important to establish what a browser-based attack is.
In most scenarios, attackers don’t think of themselves as attacking your web browser.

In a world where threats are persistent, the modern CISO’s real job isn’t just to secure technology—it’s to preserve institutional trust and ensure business continuity.
This week, we saw a clear pattern: adversaries are targeting the complex relationships that hold businesses together, from supply chains to strategic partnerships. With new regulations and the rise of AI-driven attacks, the

A new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered penetration testing tool linked to a China-based company has attracted nearly 11,000 downloads on the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository, raising concerns that it could be repurposed by cybercriminals for malicious purposes.
Dubbed Villager, the framework is assessed to be the work of Cyberspike, which has positioned the tools as a red teaming
