Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the veil on a widespread malicious campaign that’s targeting TikTok Shop users globally with an aim to steal credentials and distribute trojanized apps.
“Threat actors are exploiting the official in-app e-commerce platform through a dual attack strategy that combines phishing and malware to target users,” CTM360 said. “The core tactic involves a deceptive

SonicWall said it’s actively investigating reports to determine if there is a new zero-day vulnerability following reports of a spike in Akira ransomware actors in late July 2025.
“Over the past 72 hours, there has been a notable increase in both internally and externally reported cyber incidents involving Gen 7 SonicWall firewalls where SSLVPN is enabled,” the network security vendor said in a

A newly disclosed set of security flaws in NVIDIA’s Triton Inference Server for Windows and Linux, an open-source platform for running artificial intelligence (AI) models at scale, could be exploited to take over susceptible servers.
“When chained together, these flaws can potentially allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to gain complete control of the server, achieving remote code execution

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new wave of campaigns distributing a Python-based information stealer called PXA Stealer.
The malicious activity has been assessed to be the work of Vietnamese-speaking cybercriminals who monetize the stolen data through a subscription-based underground ecosystem that automates the resale and reuse via Telegram APIs, according to a joint

Malware isn’t just trying to hide anymore—it’s trying to belong. We’re seeing code that talks like us, logs like us, even documents itself like a helpful teammate. Some threats now look more like developer tools than exploits. Others borrow trust from open-source platforms, or quietly build themselves out of AI-written snippets. It’s not just about being malicious—it’s about being believable.

Everyone’s an IT decision-maker now. The employees in your organization can install a plugin with just one click, and they don’t need to clear it with your team first. It’s great for productivity, but it’s a serious problem for your security posture.
When the floodgates of SaaS and AI opened, IT didn’t just get democratized, its security got outpaced. Employees are onboarding apps faster than

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a nascent Android remote access trojan (RAT) called PlayPraetor that has infected more than 11,000 devices, primarily across Portugal, Spain, France, Morocco, Peru, and Hong Kong.
“The botnet’s rapid growth, which now exceeds 2,000 new infections per week, is driven by aggressive campaigns focusing on Spanish and French speakers, indicating a strategic

Telecommunications organizations in Southeast Asia have been targeted by a state-sponsored threat actor known as CL-STA-0969 to facilitate remote control over compromised networks.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 said it observed multiple incidents in the region, including one aimed at critical telecommunications infrastructure between February and November 2024.
The attacks are characterized by the

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a previously undocumented Linux backdoor dubbed Plague that has managed to evade detection for a year.
“The implant is built as a malicious PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module), enabling attackers to silently bypass system authentication and gain persistent SSH access,” Nextron Systems researcher Pierre-Henri Pezier said.
Pluggable Authentication Modules

SonicWall SSL VPN devices have become the target of Akira ransomware attacks as part of a newfound surge in activity observed in late July 2025.
“In the intrusions reviewed, multiple pre-ransomware intrusions were observed within a short period of time, each involving VPN access through SonicWall SSL VPNs,” Arctic Wolf Labs researcher Julian Tuin said in a report.
