- Researchers Report 84 Flaws In 4G And 5G Cores, Including a Session Hijacking Flaw
"An academic study has disclosed a "widespread class" of security vulnerabilities impacting 4G and 5G core networks that, if successfully exploited, could trigger denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and even session hijacking, allowing an attacker to seize control of a user's network session. The findings have been released by a group of researchers from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University in a paper titled "Understanding Implicit Trust Errors in Core Carrier Networks through Multi-Agent Flaw Discovery and Analysis.""

Vulnerabilities
- Advanced Responsive Video Embedder For Rumble, Odysee, YouTube, Vimeo, Kick … 10.8.7 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass Via Hardcoded Backdoor In '_wplogin' Parameter
"The Advanced Responsive Video Embedder for Rumble, Odysee, YouTube, Vimeo, Kick … plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via a Hardcoded Backdoor in version 10.8.7. The vulnerability exists because the_arve_uc_init()function — registered on WordPress'sinithook at priority 1 so that it runs before any authentication checks on every request — reads an attacker-supplied token from the_wplogin(or_wpm) parameter and compares it against a hardcoded SHA-256 hash embedded directly in the plugin source, with no nonce verification, no capability check, and no password validation anywhere in the flow. Because this static hash constitutes a set of universal credentials that are publicly accessible in the plugin's source code, unauthenticated attackers can supply the known token to be authenticated as an arbitrarily selected existing administrator account, gaining full administrative control over the affected WordPress site. This was likely introduced by an attacker who gained commit access to the developers account."

"In this post, we will uncover the “Fuyao Enterprise,” a previously unknown, sophisticated and highly modular botnet operating within Android TV boxes. This operation marks a shift in modern ad-fraud, where automated bots fake both clicks and views to defraud advertisers and ad-networks. While deploying novel tactics and techniques, Fuyao managed to escape public research for several years. Now, its operators openly advertise their network of over 120,000 “AI digital humans.""

"Once the attacker has breached the corporate network, subsequent stages of the attack often involve leveraging standard domain infrastructure protocols: using Kerberos, running DNS queries, accessing internal services, opening network shares, and other common networking actions. Because this activity is virtually indistinguishable from legitimate network traffic, it is extremely difficult to detect it with traditional network attack detection tools. Kerberoasting and DNS tunneling have long ceased to be exotic techniques. They are becoming standard methods in modern attacks because they allow attackers to execute critical compromise stages while remaining undetected by traditional security tools. A clear example of this trend is seen in latest campaigns, employing both Kerberoasting and DNS tunneling."

"Blackpoint Cyber’s Adversary Pursuit Group (APG) identified a previously undocumented, multi-stage intrusion affecting two endpoints at a law firm. The activity began with a spear phishing lure and progressed through several layers of obfuscated scripts, encrypted payloads, and trusted software components before establishing persistent remote access. The intrusion relied on a modular Go based loader tracked as HollowFrame and a Rust based malware family tracked as Matryoshka. HollowFrame provided the actor with multiple execution and persistence options. The Matryoshka family was represented by two distinct backdoor variants, one that communicated directly over HTTP and another that used GitHub for tasking and payload delivery. Together, these variants supported command execution, reconnaissance, file transfer, and follow on malware deployment."

"After months of dormancy, the attackers behind the XCSSET malware released version 40 (v40), targeting the macOS ecosystem. This version’s advanced architecture hides its core logic in memory space, reducing its digital footprint. V40 further enhances its detection evasion capabilities by combining polymorphic payload generation with fileless persistence and dynamic in-memory execution, while weakening a number of security mechanisms on the affected machine. Since early April 2026, the malware has spread through supply chain attacks by hiding itself in the Xcode projects of dozens of legitimate applications with thousands of active users. Xcode is Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) for building apps for its various operating systems."

"Leveraging legitimate software is one of cybercriminals’ tactics of choice, with remote management tools ranking among their top tools. A recent example involves the remote administration utility ScreenConnect. It’s designed for IT support teams to troubleshoot systems and configure software seamlessly in the background. However, when weaponized by threat actors, ScreenConnect becomes a versatile attack vehicle used to harvest data, deploy malware, and move laterally across corporate networks."

"Since early May 2026, Microsoft Threat Intelligence has observed Storm-2945, a sub-cluster of Midnight Blizzard, conducting widespread but targeted traffic manipulation attacks involving hospitality sector networks served by captive portals worldwide. Despite some tactic, technique, and procedure (TTP) similarities to the Forest Blizzard DNS hijacking operation that we publicly disclosed in April 2026, we attribute this campaign, which we call CaptiveCrunch, to Storm-2945. As reported by ReliaQuest on July 23, a portion of this activity leverages doppelganger domains mimicking Microsoft online services to conduct follow-on adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) phishing operations that abuse the device code authentication flow in Microsoft Entra ID."

- The Morning After We Pull a Root Of Trust, Nobody Owns It
"In June 2024, Google's Chrome Root Program said it would stop trusting new Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates from Entrust. Behind the decision, years of compliance failures and a clear technical call. The decision was right. The fallout became someone else's responsibility. That is the part we keep getting wrong. We are good at the technical decision to remove a trust anchor. Root programs at Chrome, Mozilla, Microsoft, and Apple make that call well. What we lack is a way to coordinate what happens the morning after. Trust continuity is a national readiness problem hiding inside a browser setting."

"Earlier this month, Interpol revealed that authorities in Singapore and Oman used a worldwide network of law enforcement agencies and financial organizations to halt a $6.6 million payoff from a business email compromise (BEC) scam, part of Operation First Light 2026, which — among other milestones — blocked more than 31,000 bank accounts linked to fraud. When companies and individuals report fraud and cybercrime, it's often too late to recover transferred funds. The coalition of law enforcement agencies and financial firms, known as the Interpol Global Rapid Intervention of Payments (I-GRIP) mechanism, has been working together to cut down the time to halt transfers and recover funds."

"Cybercrime has become a commercialized ecosystem where criminals can buy or rent nearly every capability needed to launch sophisticated attacks. These services provide anonymity, plausible deniability, and access to short-lived infrastructure that is difficult to detect, attribute, and disrupt, enabling low-skilled actors to operate at scale, according to the Infoblox 2026 Threat Landscape Report. “Cybercrime is becoming more efficient, automated, and harder to stop. Driven by economics and fueled in part by frontier AI, it has reached an unprecedented scale. The line between financially motivated and state actors has blurred in a complex economy that allows criminals to evade disruption through segmentation and the adoption of commodity services,” said Dr. Renee Burton, Head of Infoblox Threat Intel."

"In this interview with Help Net Security, Eliran Almog, CEO of Cyviation, explains why airline cyber losses happen on the ground while the aircraft stays unmonitored. He walks through GNSS jamming that leaves no trace in a SIEM, and a PX4 Autopilot flaw his team disclosed where drone command channels accept unsigned messages. He argues the Electronic Flight Bag matters less than the data loading chain behind it, makes the case for digital twins, and sets out what a 30 aircraft carrier with two security staff should do first."

"Founders pitching a cybersecurity seed round this summer are joining a line that keeps getting longer. Product Hunt launches hit their highest level since late 2023 last quarter, and the Census Bureau’s count of high-propensity business applications kept climbing. Seed deal volume in cyber ticked down. Those figures come from the Q2 2026 Insights report published by DataTribe, an early-stage cybersecurity investor. The money went up the stack. Nine-figure rounds took 81% of every venture dollar invested in the second quarter, more than double the share they held at the start of 2018. Cyber Series A volume fell from Q1 and stayed inside the band it has occupied for three years."

"GlobaLeaks, a mature whistleblowing platform that had already undergone six independent professional audits over the past thirteen years, was subjected to an LLM-assisted security review that cost roughly USD 3,140 in API calls. The review identified 29 confirmed vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening recommendations, with an average cost of about USD 77 per confirmed finding before human validation. The most important point is probably the cost. Reading an entire codebase systematically, line by line and against major known weakness classes, traditionally required weeks of specialist work and a serious budget. That assumption no longer holds in the same way: the report argues that this kind of analysis is now far more accessible than it used to be."

"Adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing has become the single most common way attackers break into law firms, overtaking conventional credential theft in a sector where multifactor authentication (MFA) is now widely deployed but routinely bypassed. According to a new legal sector threat intelligence report from eSentire shared with Infosecurity, AiTM attacks accounted for 28.57% of all initial access events in the legal sector. The company's Threat Response Unit (TRU) also recorded a 20% year-over-year (YoY) increase in incidents targeting legal organizations."
