A new Android malware called RatOn evolved from a basic tool capable of conducting Near Field Communication (NFC) attacks to a sophisticated remote access trojan with Automated Transfer System (ATS) capabilities to conduct device fraud.
“RatOn merges traditional overlay attacks with automatic money transfers and NFC relay functionality – making it a uniquely powerful threat,” the Dutch mobile

⚠️ One click is all it takes.
An engineer spins up an “experimental” AI Agent to test a workflow. A business unit connects to automate reporting. A cloud platform quietly enables a new agent behind the scenes.
Individually, they look harmless. But together, they form an invisible swarm of Shadow AI Agents—operating outside security’s line of sight, tied to identities you don’t even know exist.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a phishing campaign that delivers a stealthy banking malware-turned-remote access trojan called MostereRAT.
The phishing attack incorporates a number of advanced evasion techniques to gain complete control over compromised systems, siphon sensitive data, and extend its functionality by serving secondary plugins, Fortinet FortiGuard Labs said.

It’s budget season. Once again, security is being questioned, scrutinized, or deprioritized.
If you’re a CISO or security leader, you’ve likely found yourself explaining why your program matters, why a given tool or headcount is essential, and how the next breach is one blind spot away. But these arguments often fall short unless they’re framed in a way the board can understand and appreciate.

Multiple npm packages have been compromised as part of a software supply chain attack after a maintainer’s account was compromised in a phishing attack.

The attack targeted Josh Junon (aka Qix), who received an email message that mimicked npm (“support@npmjs[.]help”), urging them to update their update their two-factor authentication (2FA) credentials before September 10, 2025, by clicking on

Threat hunters have discovered a set of previously unreported domains, some going back to May 2020, that are associated with China-linked threat actors Salt Typhoon and UNC4841.
“The domains date back several years, with the oldest registration activity occurring in May 2020, further confirming that the 2024 Salt Typhoon attacks were not the first activity carried out by this group,” Silent Push

Salesloft has revealed that the data breach linked to its Drift application started with the compromise of its GitHub account.
Google-owned Mandiant, which began an investigation into the incident, said the threat actor, tracked as UNC6395, accessed the Salesloft GitHub account from March through June 2025. So far, 22 companies have confirmed they were impacted by a supply chain breach.
“With

Cybersecurity researchers have detailed a new sophisticated malware campaign that leverages paid ads on search engines like Google to deliver malware to unsuspecting users looking for popular tools like GitHub Desktop.
While malvertising campaigns have become commonplace in recent years, the latest activity gives it a little twist of its own: Embedding a GitHub commit into a page URL containing

Cybersecurity never slows down. Every week brings new threats, new vulnerabilities, and new lessons for defenders. For security and IT teams, the challenge is not just keeping up with the news—it’s knowing which risks matter most right now. That’s what this digest is here for: a clear, simple briefing to help you focus where it counts.
This week, one story stands out above the rest: the

When Attackers Get Hired: Today’s New Identity Crisis
What if the star engineer you just hired isn’t actually an employee, but an attacker in disguise? This isn’t phishing; it’s infiltration by onboarding.
Meet “Jordan from Colorado,” who has a strong resume, convincing references, a clean background check, even a digital footprint that checks out.
On day one, Jordan logs into email and attends
