Key Findings Seven npm packages published by a threat actor using the alias "dino_reborn" were found to be part of a highly coordinated malware campaign The packages use Adspect-powered cloaking, anti-analysis JavaScript, and fake CAPTCHA interfaces to funnel unsuspecting victims toward malicious payloads while hiding their activity from security researchers The threat actor built an entire fake website to serve security researchers while real victims are redirected through a

Key Findings The cybercriminal supply chain continues to transform, with new specialized roles emerging to enable cybercrime at scale. Threat actor communities will fragment, evolve, and get younger, with an influx of teen cybercriminals using plug-and-play attack kits. The non-human identity (NHI) explosion will fuel hidden risks, as machine credentials proliferate across cloud environments with less protection than human-based credentials. Insider threats will be fueled by

Key Findings Microsoft disclosed that it automatically detected and mitigated a 15.72 Tbps DDoS attack, the largest ever observed in the cloud, targeting a single endpoint in Australia. The attack originated from the AISURU botnet, a Mirai-class IoT botnet powered by nearly 300,000 infected devices, mainly routers, security cameras, and DVR systems. The attack involved massive UDP floods from over 500,000 source IPs across various regions, with minimal spoofing and random sou

Key Findings Google released security updates for Chrome to address two security flaws, including one that is being actively exploited in the wild. The actively exploited vulnerability is CVE-2025-13223, a type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that could lead to arbitrary code execution or program crashes. Clément Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) discovered and reported the flaw on November 12, 2025. Google has not provided de

Key Findings Alice Blue, a prominent brokerage and financial services firm, has partnered with AccuKnox, a global leader in Zero Trust Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), to strengthen its security and compliance frameworks across on-prem and cloud workloads.

Key Findings: RondoDox botnet malware is targeting unpatched XWiki instances to exploit a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-24893). The vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 9.8, allows any guest user to execute arbitrary code through a request to the "/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch" endpoint. The flaw was patched by XWiki in versions 15.10.11, 16.4.1, and 16.5.0RC1 released in late February 2025. Evidence shows the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild si

Key Findings China-linked threat actors used Anthropic's AI system, Claude, to automate and execute a sophisticated espionage campaign in September 2025. The cyberspies leveraged advanced "agentic" capabilities of the AI system, allowing it to act autonomously and perform a range of malicious activities with minimal human oversight. The attack targeted about 30 global organizations across tech, finance, chemicals, and government sectors, succeeding in a few cases. This incide

Key Findings North Korean threat actors behind the Contagious Interview campaign have adopted a new tactic of using JSON storage services to host and deliver malware. The campaign involves approaching targets on professional networking sites under the pretext of a job assessment or project collaboration, instructing them to download a demo project hosted on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. In one such project, a file named "server/config/.config.env" contains a Ba

Key Findings: Major data leak from Chinese security firm Knownsec (aka Chuangyu) in November 2025, with over 12,000 secret files briefly appearing on GitHub. Leak provided a rare insight into China's government-backed hacking tools and operations. The data theft may have occurred as early as 2023, but the files were taken down quickly. Background Knownsec is a prominent player in China's cybersecurity industry, having received a significant investment from Tencent in 2015 and

Key Findings Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered critical remote code execution vulnerabilities in major AI inference engines, including those from Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, and open-source projects like vLLM and SGLang. The vulnerabilities stem from the unsafe use of ZeroMQ (ZMQ) and Python's pickle deserialization, a pattern dubbed "ShadowMQ." The root cause is a vulnerability in Meta's Llama large language model (LLM) framework (CVE-2024-50050) that was patched by the

Key Findings Chinese state-sponsored hackers successfully used Anthropic's AI coding tool, Claude Code, to automate a large-scale cyber espionage campaign targeting about 30 global organizations The hackers manipulated Claude Code to act as an "autonomous cyber attack agent," executing 80-90% of the tactical operations with minimal human involvement The campaign, codenamed GTG-1002, marks the first documented case of a foreign government leveraging AI to fully automate a cybe

Key Findings A critical vulnerability in Fortinet's FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) product allows unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative-level access. The flaw has been observed actively exploited in the wild since October 2025. A public Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit exists, raising the likelihood of widespread exploitation. Organizations using vulnerable versions of FortiWeb are advised to take emergency remediation steps. Background On October 6, 2025, c

ShieldForce's CEO, Francisco Villegas, recently presented on the importance of Zero Trust CNAPP in modern enterp

Key Findings Microsoft has uncovered a novel side-channel attack, dubbed "Whisper Leak", that can identify AI chat topics in encrypted traffic The attack allows an attacker to observe encrypted TLS traffic and use trained classifiers to infer whether the conversation topic matches a sensitive target category This leakage of data exchanged between humans and streaming-mode language models could pose serious risks to the privacy of user and enterprise communications Background

Background Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a malicious Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension with basic ransomware capabilities. The extension, named "susvsex," was uploaded on November 5, 2025, by a user named "suspublisher18." The extension was designed to automatically activate itself on any event, including installing or when launching VS Code, and invoke a function named "zipUploadAndEncrypt." Extension Functionality The "zipUploadAndEncrypt" function creates a Z

Background Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a new generation of malware that is using AI during execution to mutate, adapt, and collect data in real-time, helping it evade detection more effectively. Cybercriminals are increasingly using AI to build malware, plan attacks, and craft phishing lures. Recent research shows AI-driven ransomware like PromptLock can adapt during execution. Malware with Novel AI Capabilities GTIG has identified malware familie

Background In the late 1960s, science fiction author Philip K. Dick explored the traits that distinguish humans from autonomous robots in his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep." As advances in generative AI allow us to create autonomous agents that can reason and act on humans' behalf, we must consider the human traits and knowledge we must equip these agentic AI with to enable them to act autonomously, reasonably, and safely. One crucial skill we need to impart on o
