В памяти остались тысячи записей и неожиданно много следов.

Эксперты в студии AM Live обсудили, как меняются требования к платформам хранения, на что обращать внимание при выборе и как будет развиваться рынок.

Главная задача — определить, какая в компании структура данных и какие требования к хранилищу, и под это подбирать решение.

Вопрос не в объёме данных, а в том, как решать такие задачи.

Это большая отрасль и в мире, и в России.

ВыводыРынок платформ хранения данных в 2026 году переживает трансформацию.

Эксперты в студии AM Live обсудили, как меняются атаки, почему человек остаётся слабым звеном и как выстроить эффективное обучение.

При этом вопрос уже не в том, как научить человека никогда не ошибаться, а в том, как минимизировать цену этой ошибки.

Сотрудник не успевает понять, что это комплексная атака, потому что не готов к такому сценарию.

Проблемы сетевой безопасности в KubernetesПавел Коростелёв объяснил, что в Kubernetes происходит смешение защиты приложений и инфраструктуры.

Теперь объектом защиты становится не сетевой хост и не среда виртуализации, а среда контейнеризации.

Всё это вместе создаёт весьма интересную картину: нужно очень внимательно следить за сегментацией и в традиционной сети, и в среде виртуализации, и в среде контейнеризации.

Финальный опрос показал, как, по мнению зрителей, должна строиться сетевая безопасность контейнерной инфраструктуры:Подход зависит от архит…

Архитектура SafeERP Extension Module (Комплексная защита 1С)SafeERP Extension Module имеет модульную структуру и предназначен для комплексной защиты информационно-управляющих систем (ИУС), построенных на базе платформы 1С.

Именно для этого используются решения класса «управление внешней поверхностью атаки» (External Attack Surface Management, EASM), позволяющие контролировать внешнюю поверхность атаки.

Что такое EASM и для чего используетсяСистема класса «управление внешней поверхностью атаки» (External Attack Surface Management, EASM) — это не разовый пентест и не сетевой сканер.

Также следует упомянуть ASM (Attack Surface Management) как более широкий подход, охватывающий и внешнюю, и внутреннюю поверхность атаки, и CAASM (Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management) — технологический подход, представляющий собой подмножество ASM и обеспечивающий единую актуальную видимость всех киберактивов организации.

Корпоративные мессенджеры перестали быть просто чатами для переписки — сегодня они превращаются в супераппы и становятся ядром взаимодействия людей и ИИ-агентов внутри компаний.

Антон Анпилов добавил, что почта и мессенджеры — это разные паттерны потребления: в мессенджеры пишут быстрое, в почте закрепляют официальное.

Потом запускаются пилотные группы, пользователи оценивают мессенджеры, и в конце наступает этап компромиссов — компания определяет, какие требования действительно критичны, а от каких можно отказаться.

Где ИИ применяют и считают эффективнымПо данным исследования, чаще всего ИИ применяют в контакт-центрах и службах поддержки — об этом сообщили 75% опрошенных компаний.

«В страховых компаниях, — поясняет он, — инвестиционный анализ раньше требовал дорогих специалистов, которые умели и разбираться в ситуации, и доходчиво объяснять происходящее.

По его словам, проблема не только в процессах и данных, но и в том, как измерить сам результат.

Поэтому основная сложность заключается не только в запуске пилота, но и в его доведении до промышленной эксплуатации.

Полностью автономные решения (без участия человека) внедряют 25% компаний — но в проде они задействованы только у 8%.

В любом случае российское решение отличается от западного — есть небольшие отличия в инфраструктуре и в подходах.

Разбираемся, что происходит с запросом у посредника, можно ли проверить фактическую модель и на что смотреть российскому разработчику.

Например, в ответе и журналах OpenRouter можно увидеть названия модели и провайдера, который обслужил конкретный запрос.

Как проверить, какая модель отвечает на запросАбсолютно надёжного «паспорта модели» на стороне клиента обычно нет.

Сервис должен показывать фактическую модель и, по возможности, провайдера для каждого запроса, а также позволять управлять резервными маршрутами.

Нужно выяснить, сохраняются ли промпты и ответы, каков срок хранения, используются ли данные для аналитики или обучения и можно ли ограничить передачу отдельным провайдерам.

Но так уж получилось, что я его полностью переписал, а значит информацию о возможностях следует обновить.

Конвейер доставки: ваш CI-раннер — это prodРаннер деплоит в prod — значит, он prod.

А зачем?»Ниже — не обзор MCP и не обещание «безопасного ИИ».

Это маленький воспроизводимый шаблон: как дать ассистенту ровно столько доступа, сколько нужно для первичного разбора сбоя, и не больше.

Меняются названия сущностей, но не принцип: модель видит не хранилище целиком, а небольшой набор безопасных вопросов к нему.

Она показывает главное: ассистент не ходит в базу напрямую и не решает сам, какой запрос допустим.

Даже если модель не подчинится этой строке, система не должна давать ей способ выполнить просьбу.

Лаборатории измеряют автономность моделей, способность искать уязвимости, обходить ограничения, ускорять исследования в области AI и выполнять другие потенциально опасные действия.

По данным Anthropic, к маю 2026 года Claude написал более 80% кода, который компания добавляла в основную кодовую базу.

AI уже участвует в разработке следующего AI, модели могут автономно действовать, искать обходные пути и в отдельных экспериментах сопротивляться действиям оператора.

Отличия начинаются в деталях, и в АСУ ТП, на сетевом оборудовании, в IoT, на мобильных устройствах, в железе и в системах машинного обучения детали свои.

А если система старая и давно в статусе EoL/EoS, патч на нее и не поставишь, его просто нет.

Контроль: повторное сканирование, сверка версий ПО и снова цифровой двойник.

Систему, про которую нет уверенности, что она переживет сканирование, не трогайте, пока она не в резерве.

Уязвимости на уровне сетиСамая частая проблема на уровне сети: сегментации нет или она сделана неправильно, а в правилах firewall ошибки.

Мы уже писали ранее о том, как правильно подготовиться к пилоту WAF и как корректно оценить его результат.

После заказчик завел MS Exchange, но не учел, что он использует NTLM-аутентификацию, а это требует специфичной конфигурации балансировки.

Не спешите с блокировкой - начните с мониторингаПервая распространенная ошибка – переводить WAF в режим блокировки сразу после подключения, не проанализировав реальный трафик приложения.

Либо WAF не работает и «не пускает» трафик к приложению, либо WAF отключают, и приложение остается без защиты.

В итоге хороший WAF — это не тот, который генерирует больше событий и блокирует больше запросов.

Мы нашли хранимую XSS в Telegram Desktop и 3 июня 2026 года сообщили о ней.

За четыреста миллисекунд, пока страница отрисовывалась, каждое сообщение на ней упаковали в JSON и отправили на сервер в другой стране.

Одна пересылка в супергруппу на 200 000 человек может задеть каждого, чей экспорт включает это сообщение и кто откроет файл.

Кто‑то пересылает это сообщение в целевой чат.

Сетевой трафик PoC не выходил за пределы 127.0.0.1 — кроме стандартных вызовов Bot API, мы не трогали продакшн Telegram.

Но и Ideco NGFW Novum уже ушел вперед на две мажорные версии (в частности, сильно сократилось отставание высокопроизводительного VCE-контекста).

Качество продукта глазами заказчиков: первое место досталось IdecoВ исследовании «Матрица импортозамещения 2026: NGFW» Ideco NGFW Novum получил высшую оценку заказчиков среди семи участников: 6,9 из 10 при среднем результате 6,3.

Это подкрепляет технологическое лидерство компании: оценивается воспринимаемое качество и функциональность в эксплуатации, а не только наличие функциональных возможностей в спецификации.

Такие отзывы не отменяют результат другого опроса и не заменяют стендовый протокол: они помогают выявить сценарии, которые конкретному за…

Ключ -P кладёт пароль в историю оболочки и в список процессов - так его задают только в примерах.

Открытыми остаются: имена файлов и папок, размеры до и после сжатия, даты изменения, атрибуты, а в режиме ZipCrypto - ещё и контрольные суммы файлов.

Имя Выгрузка зарплат 2026.xlsx сообщает, что выгрузка существует, что она за 2026 год и что кто-то её пересылал.

Стойкость AES ничего не значит, если пароль короткий: перебор идёт по паролю, а не по ключу.

Имена файлов утекают не только через архив: они видны в теме письма, в теле, в уведомлениях хранилища, в списке недавних документов.

В этой статье я рассматриваю муравейники, людей и LLM в попытке показать, когда агент перестает быть просто агентом.

Почему hash-wasm, а не libsodiumОбе библиотеки реализуют Argon2id, независимого аудита я не проводил.

Вокруг него было много собственного кода преобразования ключевого материала, и именно там я в итоге нашёл баг, описанный ниже.

Поэтому модель здесь простая: PIN защищает от случайного доступа к уже открытому устройству, но не от компрометации самого клиента.

Проблемы возникали на стыках: API и прав доступа, данных и SMTP, ключей и сериализации, аутентификации и расшифровки, серверной логики и anti-enumeration.

Архитектура и модели угроз Safekom и рассмотренных в исследовании продуктов различаются, поэтому я не ставлю целью прямое сравнение.

В git есть настройка core.fsmonitor , её значение это команда, которую git запускает сам, чтобы узнать, какие файлы изменились.

Напомним, что об атаке на Revolut стало известно ранее на этой неделе.

На выплату выкупа хакеры отвели компании 24 часа и пригрозили в противном случае продать украденные данные другим преступным группировкам.

При этом 16 сентября представители Revolut сообщили Reuters, что компания не имела прямых контактов со злоумышленниками и не получала от них требований выкупа.

Ранее в Revolut подчеркивали, что внутренние системы компании не были взломаны, а средства клиентов остаются в безопасности.

Теперь в компании снова подтвердили эту информацию и заявили, что атакующие злоупотребили официальным каналом связи, который используется итальянскими госорганами для юридически значимой переписки.

Хакеры скомпрометировали официальный аккаунт HBO Max на Reddit и использовали его для распространения вредоносной рекламы.

Примерно за 48 часов атакующие опубликовали 108 объявлений, которые вели на ClickFix-страницы и заражали устройства под управлением Windows и macOS стилерами и другой малварью.

Специалисты пишут, что одной из основных приманок, которую использовали злоумышленники, стало якобы нативное приложение HBO Max для macOS, которого на самом деле не существует.

В macOS атакующие использовали команды curl | zsh и распространяли сразу несколько пейлоадов, включая стилер MacSync, похищавший учетные данные из браузеров, профили Firefox, данные из Telegram и Apple Notes, пароли macOS …

Специалисты Cisco исправили критическую уязвимость в Secure Email Gateway — шлюзе, который должен защищать почту от вредоносных сообщений.

Баг затрагивает физические и виртуальные устройства Cisco Secure Email Gateway под управлением AsyncOS независимо от их конфигурации.

Кроме того, специалисты Cisco проверили устройства в облачном сервисе Secure Email Cloud и напрямую связались с клиентами, на чьих шлюзах обнаружили признаки возможной компрометации.

Австрийские разработчики Denuvo подали в суд на анонимного крякера, известного под ником voices38 и специализирующегося на обходе защиты Denuvo Anti-Tamper.

Как сообщает издание TorrentFreak, в иске, поданном в окружной суд Северного округа Калифорнии, утверждается, что voices38 занимается реверс-инжинирингом и взломом игр с защитой Denuvo, а затем распространяет свои релизы, в частности на Reddit.

Так как Denuvo не принадлежат авторские права на сами игры, речь в иске идет не об обычном нарушении авторского права.

Хак-группа DataSuckers заявила о взломе туроператора Tez Tour.

15 сентября атакующие дефейснули сайт компании и заявили о компрометации серверов, краже пользовательских данных и уничтожении информации.

В Tez Tour описывают последствия атаки иначе.

Туроператор продолжает работу, а в заявлении компании подчеркивается, что Tez Tour выполняет все обязательства перед клиентами и партнерами.

ИБ-исследователи полагают, что за масштабной спам-кампанией, направленной на RubyGems в мае 2026 года, стоял рой автономных агентов OpenAI.

Атаку на RubyGems обнаружили специалисты Спенсер Киттс (Spencer Kitts), Томас Ларсен (Thomas Larsen) и Сидни фон Аркс (Sydney Von Arx).

В итоге в RubyGems обнаружили более 150 пакетов, которые содержали публичные данные, собранные с британских муниципальных порталов.

Июньская активность агентов в RubyGems дала исследователям дополнительный аргумент в пользу связи с OpenAI.

Дело в том, что агенты обращались к тем же 49 интернет-ресурсам, что и агенты, злоупотреблявшие DSEWiki.

В этом году в основных треках Offensive Track и SecOps Track заявлено около 30 технических докладов, а в рамках Community Track пройдут короткие выступления, воркшопы и другие активности.

Специалисты компании Socket обнаружили, что браузерное расширение Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot, ориентированное на русскоязычных пользователей и насчитывающее около 31 000 установок, передавало OAuth-токены на прокси-серверы своих разработчиков.

Twitch Enhanced Viewer распространяется под брендом JeetBot и использует принадлежащие сервису прокси-серверы, чтобы загружать трансляции Twitch (в том числе в обход региональных ограничений).

При этом в Chrome Web Store разработчики заявляли, что расширение не собирает и не использует пользовательские данные.

По его словам, передача OAuth-токенов происходила исключительно для получения плейлистов Twitch, и токены не использовались для несанкцио…

Специалисты GreyNoise и Blackpoint Cyber обнаружили масштабную кампанию, нацеленную на серверы PaperCut NG и MF.

Неизвестный злоумышленник использовал сотни ИИ-агентов, с помощью которых разрабатывал и тестировал эксплоиты, искал цели, анализировал ошибки и повторял неудачные атаки.

В конце августа 2026 года разработчики PaperCut экстренно исправили две уязвимости нулевого дня (CVE-2026-81578 и CVE-2026-82078) в PaperCut NG и MF.

Предположительно русскоязычный злоумышленник использовал ИИ-агентов на базе OpenAI Codex и модели DeepSeek и собирал списки потенциальных жертв через поисковик Netlas.

Исследователи не исключают, что хакер собирал первоначальные доступы для последующей перепродажи …

Специалисты компании Anthropic раскрыли информацию о четвертом инциденте, в рамках которого модель Claude Opus 4.6 вышла за пределы тестовой среды и получила несанкционированный доступ к внешней системе.

В какой-то момент Opus 4.6 сама сделала задачу невыполнимой: назначила целевой машине IP-адрес, уже занятый другим хостом, после чего цель стала недоступна.

Так и не сумев завершить сессию, Opus 4.6 продолжила искать способы добраться до цели, а затем начала исследовать доступное окружение.

Тем не менее в Anthropic считают этот эпизод не слишком серьезным, так как Opus 4.6 неоднократно пыталась прекратить выполнение задания.

В Anthropic подчеркивают, что эти цифры получены в ходе тестов, сп…

В книге «Бизнес в стиле Ж» Дмитрий Агарунов показывает и другую сторону бизнеса: неверные решения, закрытые проекты, кризисы и моменты, когда привычная модель перестает работать и приходится искать новую.

Исследователи обнаружили уязвимость в Telegram Desktop, позволявшую незаметно внедрять JavaScript-код в HTML-файлы, в которые экспортируется переписка в мессенджере.

Из-за этого бот мог поместить туда тег script с JavaScript-кодом, замаскировав его невидимыми символами, и в результате в самом Telegram такое сообщение не выглядело подозрительным.

Когда пользователь открывал HTML-файл с экспортом чата в браузере с включенным JavaScript, вредоносный код запускался автоматически.

Уязвимость присутствовала в Telegram Desktop, начиная с версии 4.15.1, вышедшей в марте 2024 года, и сохранялась до 6.9.3.

Поэтому исследователи рекомендуют заново экспортировать старые чаты после установки свежей верс…

В часах Apple Watch Series 12, представленных на прошлой неделе, появились функции Live Rewind и Siri Recap, которые обрабатывают разговоры, происходящие вокруг владельца часов.

A critical vulnerability in Check Point's Security Management and Log Servers could allow an attacker without login credentials to run code as root on those servers over the network.

The Security Management Server is the system that controls firewall policy and administrator access.

Check Point has released a fix through its LivePatch update channel and says it has no indication that the flaw has been exploited.

Check Point has a fix ready for those out-of-support versions, Abramovich said, and customers who need it should log a ticket with Check Point support.

Who found CVE-2026-91843 has not been disclosed, and Check Point did not address that question in its response.

Attackers keep finding new keys.

This week, those keys sit in AI tools, exposed services, old bugs, weak logins, and software sold like a monthly subscription.

It is just getting more places to make the same mistake.

It is that useful things keep becoming attack surfaces faster than teams learn to treat them that way.

New tech does not cancel old mistakes; it just gives them more places to hide.

Malicious code running inside a Docker Sandboxes virtual machine on macOS could escape the project directory shared into it and read or change files anywhere else on the host, Docker warns in a security announcement on September 15.

The escape runs with the rights of the host account that runs the virtual machine.

Docker Sandboxes runs each AI coding agent in its own small virtual machine with the project directory shared in.

The flaw needs malicious code inside the sandbox, and protecting the host from what an agent runs is what the sandbox is for.

Docker lists the first flaw as macOS-only but states no platform for it, whereas Docker Sandboxes runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux hosts.

The Iran-linked "hacktivist" persona known as Handala Hack has been attributed to a Telegram-based surveillance backdoor called HEAVYGRAM and a Delphi-based utility known as CRUDEEXCLUDE.

On the other hand, CRUDEEXCLUDE is a Delphi-based Windows utility employed to prepare environments for the deployment of subsequent stages such as HEAVYGRAM.

These applications masquerade as legitimate applications like Pictory, KeePass, and Telegram, and contain the second-stage implant.

According to Group-IB, HEAVYGRAM was first detected in the wild in September 2023.

Further review of the Telegram infrastructure has revealed two main setups: one where C2 relies on a single Telegram bot and group, and an…

Every release of the Unbound DNS resolver before 1.26.1 has a critical heap overflow in its DNSSEC validator, maintainer NLnet Labs said in an advisory on Wednesday.

An attacker who controls a malicious zone and queries a vulnerable resolver can trigger it, enabling remote code execution.

NLnet Labs has not reported exploitation of either bug, and CISA's entry for CVE-2026-81642 marked exploitation as "none" on Wednesday.

The Critical validator bug NLnet Labs fixed in May, CVE-2026-33278, is a different flaw, and the 1.25.1 update that fixed it does not fix this one.

NLnet Labs' security policy says that for issues not yet public it aims to release fixes "in the order of weeks."

A security breach at Gyazo, Helpfeel's image-sharing service, exposed about 23.62 million user records, including email addresses and password hashes, the Kyoto-based company said in a notice published Wednesday.

It also exposed about 490 million image metadata records, mostly for images from January 2019 or earlier, including the IDs that make up Gyazo image links.

Helpfeel asked every Gyazo user to change their password and to change it on any other service that uses the same or a similar one.

The attacker gained access through a vulnerability in Gyazo's image upload server, ran arbitrary commands on Helpfeel's systems, and accessed Gyazo's database, the company said.

The accelerated discovery of previously unknown software vulnerabilities has been making headlines for months.

It’s an issue that has even led the US government to create a vulnerability clearing house named Gold Eagle to coordinate research efforts in vulnerability discovery, mitigation and fixes.

Hugging Face disclosed that it had been attacked by AI; OpenAI came clean and declared that it was two of their AI models that had caused the breach.

A very late addition to the Black Hat agenda was a presentation by OpenAI’s team providing the details of the Hugging Face incident as they saw it and, importantly, the timeline.

The agents concluded that their task set could be completed by breaking out their sandbox and accessing external (Hugging Face) systems.

The target was Hugging Face: this is where the agents wanted to get, and they did.

On July 16th, Hugging Face disclosed an incident in which swarms of autonomous AI agents had breached its infrastructure.

The conference opened with keynotes followed by a fireside chat and a panel featuring mainly senior US government officials.

The second part of the opening keynote included Nick Andersen, Acting Director, CISA; Katherine Sutton, Assistant Secretary of War for Cyber Policy; and Brett Leatherman Assistant Director, Cyber Division, FBI.

I do agree with the ruthless approach, but without some form of regulation the boundaries on the use of AI remain blurred.

In this Help Net Security interview, Frederic Bull, Security Officer at Gremlin, talks about what AI means for security teams.

When you talk to other security leaders right now, what’s the one AI-related question you’re tired of answering, because everyone’s asking it and nobody’s asking the better question underneath it?

A far less frequently asked question is: “How do you maintain authority and integrity of the data in question.” And we have clear answers.

One of the many legacies of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 is the government-wide shift from targeted surveillance—such as individual wiretaps or pen register/trap and trace orders—to mass surveillance techniques—such as tapping into the internet backbone or mass collection of telephone or internet metadata. The legal and technical architecture of modern mass surveillance, initially framed as a necessary defense against terrorist threats, has grown far beyond that justification and national security in general. Mass surveillance is now a routine tool used by law enforcement. ICE uses it in...

Last month, I gave a talk at DEF CON on AI hacking: what happens when AIs become hackers.

I’m really proud of the talk, and the fact that it gained over 100K views on YouTube in just a few days.

Also online is an interview with me in the AI Village.

In August, Cliff Stoll gave a talk at DEF CON, remembering the wily hacker he stalked forty years ago.

Great fun.

Give an AI agent a mere rumor of an exploit, and it’s enough for them to find it.

What’s worse, I found I could use my own agents to find the exploit just by knowing roughly what it was about and so could have been exploiting it well before the public patch was available! Given that just the rumour of a security issue seems enough to give attackers enough info to find new exploits, we’re going to need to change the way we deal with security responses in open source.

Interesting research: “Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs“:

Abstract: Leading large language model providers now conceal their models’ step-by-step reasoning, or chain-of-thought, to protect intellectual property and limit information leakage. Rather than storing these traces server-side, providers return them to the client as blocks of encrypted text, which the client passes back with each subsequent request. Building on prior research, we identify an architectural vulnerability: these encrypted blocks are fully compatible and interchangeable across different sessions, users, and models within a provider’s ecosystem. We exploit this compatibility to develop a scalable decr…

A new identity theft service launched on the dark web this week is selling digital scans of more than 153 million drivers licenses from people in the United States and Canada.

Curiously, the identity records include not only drivers licenses but also marijuana dispensary cards.

Some of the records list their “source” as “CDL,” presumably short for “commercial drivers license.

Also, only some of those who helped with this research said they showed their drivers license at the airport on the day of their travel.

Baldwin said the Nexus identity theft service presents multiple serious security and privacy threats, noting that state-issued drivers licenses are commonly used as proof of one’s ide…

The malware allows TeamPCP’s hackers to steal credentials that let them publish malicious versions of those software development tools, too.

“TeamPCP has stated the competition is a recruiting opportunity and they intend to purchase all meaningful access harvested from participants’ campaigns,” the security firm Dataminr wrote.

Charlie Eriksen is a security researcher at Aikido Security who has closely followed TeamPCP’s cybercrime campaigns.

“They managed to wake up Microsoft to the fact that they had become negligent in terms of security,” Eriksen said.

It can be daunting to determine who’s responsible for showing ads on the websites we visit, or who’s harvesting data from the mobile apps we use every day.

Not anymore: A powerful and free new service called DecryptAds scrapes and correlates this adtech data and makes it simple to quickly learn a great deal about the entities that are tracking you.

“It’s an adtech tool but we’re trying to approach adtech from a security perspective,” Edwards said.

DecryptAds reports that Between Digital is collecting ad data on approximately 55,000 partner websites.

Bear in mind that ad blockers often do little to block ads and/or tracking that occurs from within mobile apps that users have chosen to instal…

Microsoft today released updates to remedy at least 398 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and supported software, including one weakness that is already being actively exploited and two others that were publicly detailed prior to today.

August’s overstuffed bundle of patch joy from Microsoft did not eclipse its recording breaking release of more than 570 security updates last month, but it is double June’s then-record batch of nearly 200 fixes.

The other publicly disclosed flaw is CVE-2026-72971, a low-impact local tampering vulnerability that Microsoft reckons is unlikely to be exploited.

By all accounts, AI is quite good at finding security holes in software.

Snowflake responded to the data thefts by increasing password complexity requirements and enforcing multi-factor authentication.

A little more than a month later, Canadian authorities arrested Moucka on a provisional warrant from the United States.

“Moucka used the stolen data of a government officer and members of a then-former government officer’s immediate family in this re-extortion attempt,” reads a statement from the Justice Department.

Moucka pleaded guilty to four criminal counts, including computer fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy.

Ultimately, it will be up the federal judge how much time Moucka actually serves for his extensive cybercriminal rap sheet.

Further investigation into the Fengwo Group revealed it has registered multiple patents that match the inner workings of these apps.

AD FRAUDBitsight found the H96 devices were either relaying residential proxy traffic or participating in ad fraud, but never both at the same time.

When the TV is off, it switches back to waiting for ad fraud jobs.

In addition to enlisting the user’s TV box in ad fraud networks, these off-brand streaming devices almost universally come with residential proxy software pre-installed.

In January, the proxy tracking service Synthient documented how multiple botnets had rapidly enslaved millions of TV boxes using a complex interplay of security vulnerabilities in …

The home appliance giant LG Electronics USA said this week it plans to suspend any apps built for its smart TVs that turn one’s television into an always-on residential proxy node.

On July 2, we featured research by the security firm Spur that examined the prevalence of residential proxy software development kits (SDKs) in smart TV apps.

“A residential proxy network is not an intended use for LG smart TVs, and LG Electronics is working with developers to remove the residential proxy option from their apps on the webOS platform,” Taylor said.

In the case of LG and Samsung smart TVs, Spur found residential proxy SDKs bundled with everything from simple games like Pac-Man to screensavers and f…

Microsoft attributed the burgeoning patch counts to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence.

Microsoft also addressed three zero-day flaws that are already being exploited in the wild.

As AI advances the state of vulnerability discovery and remediation, it is also making it easier for attackers to quickly devise working exploits for known software flaws.

Backing up your Windows system and/or data is always a good idea before applying operating system updates.

It’s not uncommon for security patches to introduce system stability issues, and those chances probably increase quite a bit with the gigantic patch count released today.

Experts say the gaps identified in the agency’s initial response provide important lessons that all security teams should absorb.

CISA also admitted it can do better when it comes to responding to security incident notifications from external parties.

Valadon’s company constantly scans public code repositories at GitHub and elsewhere for exposed secrets, automatically alerting the offending accounts of any apparent sensitive data exposures.

IRIS C2 says it is a company in McLean, Va. that sells offensive cybersecurity capabilities.

“Our business model is this,” reads a pinned post on top of the IRIS C2 account on X.

The website claims IRIS C2 is in the business of acquiring “zero-day exploits, individual primitives, partial chains, and full capabilities across all major platforms.

When approached with questions about IRIS C2, Burkman referred further inquiries to his longtime associate, 28-year-old Jacob Wohl.

In May, the author of the IRIS C2 account on X said that his girlfriend had no idea what he did for a living.

Benjamin Brundage is founder of the proxy tracking service Synthient, one of the companies that published evidence last month linking the Popa botnet to NetNut and Alarum Technologies.

Brundage said the domain seizures appear to have disrupted both the Popa botnet and the NetNut proxy network that rides on top of it.

“Google has high confidence that many popular residential proxy brands are in fact whitelabeling the NetNut botnet,” the GTIG report concludes.

What we have observed is that when faced with the degradation of their own botnet, proxy operators begin buying capacity from their competitors, effectively becoming a reseller.

The duo were key members of a prolific cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, and their guilty pleas came on the first day of what was expected to be a six-week trial.

In April 2026, 24-year-old British national and Scattered Spider member Tyler “Tylerb” Buchanan pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft for participating in the group’s SMS phishing spree in the summer of 2022.

The government said Buchanan, Jubair and others used the credentials harvested in that phishing campaign to steal at least $8 million in cryptocurrency from victims throughout the United States.

The U.S. Department of Justice says three alleged Scattered Spider defendants indicted alo…

This week, researchers from multiple security firms concluded that the Popa botnet is linked to NetNut, a “residential proxy” provider operated by the publicly-traded Israeli firm Alarum Technologies Ltd [NASDAQ: ALAR].

Qurium said that immediately after that disruption, several dozen new domains were registered to serve as controllers for the Popa botnet, but that one of those control domains was not new: ninjatech[.]io.

Jérôme Meyer, a security researcher at Nokia Deepfield, said the total population of devices participating in the Popa botnet may be far higher than Lumen’s estimates.

“Over 90% of our pharmaceutical and food & beverage customers have queried residential proxy indicators.

44-year-old Kenneth Carter from Portland, Oregon, used to work in an AT&T retail store.

According to Carter's own plea agreement, the scam ran from May 2018 to November 2019 and involved at least three co-conspirators alongside Carter.

Carter would use his privileged store access to move a victim's number onto a SIM card under the control of himself or an accomplice.

In one incident in May 2018, described in Carter's plea agreement, the store employee swapped a victim's number onto an Alcatel handset while working his shift in Portland.

In December 2018, Carter successfully hijacked the number of a victim known as "S.Q.T" in Portland, and this time their account was successfully drained of …

Branches of the US military have reportedly disabled ad-tracking on government-issued phones and computers, following concerns that commercially-available location data has been used to target American forces in the Middle East.

Every smartphone carries a mobile advertising ID - Apple calls its version the IDFA, and Google calls its the GAID.

Back in April, US Central Command reportedly warned of "multiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data."

If you live in Jersey and bank with Revolut, you should be on your guard against scam phone calls.

Police say they have also handled several cases where Revolut accounts were compromised that did not involve any phone calls.

It is possible that Jersey's residents have been targeted by the fraudsters because it is one of the world's best-known offshore financial centres.

Of course, if this is happening in the small island of Jersey in the English channel, it's likely to be happening elsewhere too.

For now, however, its sister island of Guernsey appears to have escaped the surge in Revolut scams.

TeamPCP is best known for Shai-Hulud, a self-propagating worm that spread itself through open source software.

According to the authorities, the two men were principal members of a "sophisticated cybercrime syndicate" that created malicious open source software designed to steal data and extort ransoms from businesses.

First emerging in late 2025, TeamPCP built a reputation for poisoning popular open source packages rather than directly attacking businesses.

The group's Shai-Hulud worm hijacks GitHub and NPM developer credentials, and publishes boobytrapped versions of legitimate software packages.

Supply chain attacks like Shai-Hulud exploit the fact that most developers trust open source …

Security researchers at Socket have identified scores of malicious linked Firefox add-ons designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases or password details.

The malicious extension - which the developers boldly claim collects "no data" - looks like a wallet app, but the truth is that there is no wallet code inside it.

Because the switch lives in the database rather than the extension code, criminals never need to push an update through the Firefox Add-ons store to activate it.

Although the researchers did not find that these extensions presently contained malicious code, the fact that they shared code and infrastructure with the info-stealing Firefox extensions raises alarm.

Cisco was proud to return to Black Hat USA as the Official Security Cloud Provider and the longest-standing partner of the Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC).

In 2026, we completed our 11th year helping protect the Black Hat network, working side by side with the Black Hat NOC leaders and official technology partners: Palo Alto Networks, Arista, Corelight, Jamf and Lumen.

For Black Hat USA 2026, the Cisco and Splunk team brought together telemetry and workflows across Cisco Security, Splunk Security, and partner-provided network and security controls.

The same signal may need to be understood by Cisco, Splunk, Black Hat leadership, and partner tea…

I did not walk into Black Hat with years of incident-response experience or an encyclopedic knowledge of threat actors.

The first time I walked into the Black Hat NOC, where the SOC team was operating, was a few days before the event began.

While developing a detection for Cisco Secure Network Analytics (SNA), I used the Splunk Detection Editor (Alpha) to bring much of that workflow into one place.

Instead of treating every observation as an incident, detections can create risk events associated with entities such as systems or users.

Developing the detection in one workspaceThe Detection Editor provides a workspace for building the search while configuring the other parts of the detection.

Risk events for the same entity need to use a consistent risk object so Splunk Enterprise Security can associate them correctly.

Splunk defines the risk object, its type, and its score as key parts of a risk event.

That requires crypto agility.

Why long-lived networks need crypto agilityThink about designing a building before all of its future electrical requirements are known.

Crypto agility is about adopting the best defenses available today while preserving the ability to adopt better ones tomorrow.

That is why crypto agility needs to be designed into the network we invest in today.

Common questions about PQC and crypto agilityWhat is crypto agility?

It is what happens when agents built by different teams, on different platforms, can hand work to each other directly.

And it is worth being direct about where things stand: A2A-mediated handoffs between production security agents are not shipping anywhere yet.

Use A2A when one agent needs to hand work to another.

A2A is peer-to-peer: any A2A agent can discover and call any other A2A agent through a self-published Agent Card, no custom connector required, and the receiving agent applies its own reasoning rather than following a static script.

Input validation is an application-layer responsibility that needs to be designed in before any agent delegates via A2A, not added after.

That is why I am proud to share that Cisco has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Microsegmentation Solutions, Q3 2026.

What We Mean by Infrastructure IdentityInfrastructure Identity starts with a simple principle: there should be no anonymous computing in critical infrastructure.

Infrastructure Identity turns that principle into an operating model.

Infrastructure Identity starts with the actor and evaluates whether a specific action should be allowed now.

Infrastructure Identity is therefore not just an access-control issue.

That is the promise of Infrastructure Identity: no anonymous computing, no unmanaged privilege, and no forced tradeoff between stronger security and operational speed.

I’m proud to share that IDC MarketScape has named Cisco a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Vendor Assessment.

Microsoft researchers observed a high-volume phishing campaign using invisible Unicode tag characters, a technique popularized in AI prompt injection research as ASCII Smuggling.

“ASCII smuggling” refers to the use of invisible or non-rendering Unicode characters to hide content inside text that looks normal.

Each is encoded as a sequence of invisible Unicode tag characters (U+E0000-U+E007F).

Invisible Unicode tag characters in the range U+E0000-U+E007F – specifically U+E0020 – spliced inside keywords.

The potential gap for mail-defense pipelines is whether Unicode tag characters are normalized or flagged before content detections run.

That’s exactly what the Cybersecurity Incident Response Readiness Workshop is designed to do.

What is the Cybersecurity Incident Response Readiness Workshop?

The Cybersecurity Incident Response Workshop is a collaborative, scenario driven workshop designed to evaluate your organization’s incident response (IR) plan against realistic, real-world security events, guided by DART researchers.

Instead of reviewing a plan as a static document, the Cybersecurity Incident Response Workshop exercises how people, processes, and technology work together under pressure.

A summary of findings and prioritized recommendations to help strengthen incident response readiness and guide next steps.

Here, threat actors may simply seed prompt injections on websites in hope of corrupting AI systems that browse them.

Early experiments revealed a significant volume of "benign" prompt injection text, which illustrates the complexity of distinguishing between functional threats and harmless content.

Many prompt injections were found in research papers, educational blog posts, or security articles discussing this very topic.

(Source: GitHub/swisskyrepo)When searching for prompt injections naively, the majority of detections are benign content – false positives in our case.

Malicious: ExfiltrationWe were able to observe a small number of prompt injections that aim at theft of data.

Recognizing the risks associated within the complex modem firmware, Pixel 9 shipped with mitigations against a range of memory-safety vulnerabilities.

Following our previous discussion on "Deploying Rust in Existing Firmware Codebases", this post shares a concrete application: integrating a memory-safe Rust DNS(Domain Name System) parser into the modem firmware.

Hook-up Rust to modem firmwareBefore building the Rust DNS library, we defined several Rust unit tests to cover basic arithmetic, dynamic allocations, and FFI to verify the integration of Rust with the existing modem firmware code base.

Pixel modem firmware already has a well-tested and specialized global memory allocation system to…

This project represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to combat session theft, which remains a prevalent threat in the modern security landscape.

Session theft typically occurs when a user inadvertently downloads malware onto their device.

Once active, the malware can silently extract existing session cookies from the browser or wait for the user to log in to new accounts, before exfiltrating these tokens to an attacker-controlled server.

How DBSC WorksDBSC protects against session theft by cryptographically binding authentication sessions to a specific device.

The issuance of new short-lived session cookies is contingent upon Chrome proving possession of the correspondi…

Staying ahead of the latest indirect prompt injection attacks is critical to our mission of securing Workspace with Gemini.

Today we're announcing a new program in Chrome to make HTTPS certificates secure against quantum computers.

Instead, Chrome, in collaboration with other partners, is developing an evolution of HTTPS certificates based on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), currently in development in the PLANTS working group.

Since MTC technology shares significant architectural similarities with CT, these operators are uniquely qualified to ensure MTCs are able to get off the ground quickly and successfully.

The Chrome Quantum-resistant Root Program will operate alongside our existing Chrome Root Program to ensure a risk-managed transition that maintains the highest levels of security for all users.

Upgrading Google Play’s AI-powered, multi-layered user protectionsWe’ve seen a clear impact from these safety efforts on Google Play.

As Android’s built-in defense against malware and unwanted software, Google Play Protect now scans over 350 billion Android apps daily.

This proactive protection constantly checks both Play apps and those from other sources to ensure they are not potentially harmful.

Looking aheadOur top priority remains making Google Play and Android the most trusted app ecosystems for everyone.

Thank you for being part of the Google Play and Android community as we work together to build a safer app ecosystem.

That’s why we're committed to providing multi-layered defenses that help protect you before, during, and after a theft attempt.

Today, we're announcing a powerful set of theft protection feature updates that build on our existing protections, designed to give you greater peace of mind by making your device a much harder target for criminals.

These updates are now available for Android devices running Android 16+.

More User Control for Failed Authentications: In Android 15, we launched Failed Authentication Lock, a feature that automatically locks the device's screen after excessive failed authentication attempts.

This feature is now getting a new dedicated enable/disable toggle in settings,…

These initiatives, driven by Ballots SC-080, SC-090, and SC-091, will sunset 11 legacy methods for Domain Control Validation.

What’s Domain Control Validation?

Domain Control Validation is a security-critical process designed to ensure certificates are only issued to the legitimate domain operator.

Sunsetted methods relying on email:Sunsetted methods relying on phone:Sunsetted method relying on a reverse lookup:For everyday users, these changes are invisible - and that’s the point.

These changes push the ecosystem toward standardized (e.g., ACME), modern, and auditable Domain Control Validation methods.

Partnership with ArmOur goal is to raise the bar on GPU security, ensuring the Mali GPU driver and firmware remain highly resilient against potential threats.

We partnered with Arm to conduct an analysis of the Mali driver, used on approximately 45% of Android devices.

This approach allowed us to roll out the new security policy broadly while minimizing the impact on developers.

This effort spans across Android and Android OEMs, and required close collaboration with Arm.

The Android security team is committed to collaborating with ecosystem partners to drive broader adoption of this approach to help harden the GPU.

We built on Gemini's existing protections and agent security principles and have implemented several new layers for Chrome.

To further bolster model alignment beyond spotlighting, we’re introducing the User Alignment Critic — a separate model built with Gemini that acts as a high-trust system component.

Android uses the best of Google AI and our advanced security expertise to tackle mobile scams from every angle.

Over the last few years, we’ve launched industry-leading features to detect scams and protect users across phone calls, text messages and messaging app chat notifications.

To help combat these types of financial scams, we launched a pilot earlier this year in the UK focused on in-call protections for financial apps.

The UK pilot of Android’s in-call scam protections has already helped thousands of users end calls that could have cost them a significant amount of money.

We’ve also started to pilot this protection with more app types, including peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps.
