RelayNFC: The New NFC Relay Malware Targeting Brazil
"Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) has uncovered an active and evolving phishing campaign targeting users in Brazil. Dubbed RelayNFC, this Android malware family is designed specifically to perform NFC relay attacks for fraudulent contactless payments. RelayNFC is a lightweight yet highly evasive malware because of its Hermes-compiled payload. This makes detection significantly harder, enabling it to stealthily capture victims’ card data and relay it in real time to an attacker-controlled server."

Stop Putting Your Passwords Into Random Websites (Yes, Seriously, You Are The Problem)
"Welcome to watchTowr vs the Internet, part 68. That feeling you’re experiencing? Dread. You should be used to it by now. As is fast becoming an unofficial and, apparently, frowned upon tradition - we identified incredible amounts of publicly exposed passwords, secrets, keys and more for very sensitive environments - and then spent a number of months working out if we could travel back in time to a period in which we just hadn't. Remember, kids - a problem shared is a problem that isn't just your problem anymore. It's the Shared Responsibility model(tm)."

Fake Adult Websites Pop Realistic Windows Update Screen To Deliver Stealers Via ClickFix
"Novel "JackFix" attack: Acronis TRU researchers discover an ongoing campaign that leverages a novel combination of screen hijacking techniques with ClickFix, displaying a realistic, full-screen Windows Update of “Critical Windows Security Updates” to trick victims into executing malicious commands. Adult content bait strategy: Campaign leverages fake adult websites (xHamster, PornHub clones) as its phishing mechanism, likely distributed via malvertising. The adult theme, and possible connection to shady websites, add to victim’s psychological pressure, making victims more likely to comply with sudden “security update” installation instructions."

The Dual-Use Dilemma Of AI: Malicious LLMs
"A fundamental challenge with large language models (LLMs) in a security context is that their greatest strengths as defensive tools are precisely what enable their offensive power. This issue is known as the dual-use dilemma, a concept typically applied to technologies like nuclear physics or biotechnology, but now also central to AI. Any tool powerful enough to build a complex system can also be repurposed to break one. This dilemma manifests in several critical ways related to cybersecurity. While defenders can employ LLMs to speed up and improve responses, attackers can also take advantage of them for their workflows."

FlexibleFerret Malware Continues To Strike
"Early in 2025, a SentinelOne blog post brought to light a malware family known as FlexibleFerret. This malware family is attributed to DPRK-aligned operators and tied to fake recruitment lures associated with the Contagious Interview operation. In this operation, individuals are led through staged hiring tasks that result in the execution of malicious instructions. Earlier this month, Validin released a blog highlighting the details of an attack that they identified as a new variant of the Contagious Interview campaign. Jamf Threat Labs has been tracking similar activity stemming from in-the-wild detections that began with the execution of a script called /var/tmp/macpatch.sh."

Threat Spotlight: Akira Ransomware’s SonicWall Campaign Creates Enterprise M&A Risk
"The “Akira” ransomware group has been weaponizing vulnerabilities in SonicWall SSL VPN devices, revealing an overlooked threat for larger enterprises navigating mergers and acquisitions (M&A). These devices, widely used by small- and medium-sized businesses due to their affordability and ease of use, have become launchpads for Akira’s fast-spreading attacks. ReliaQuest analyzed a series of Akira attacks between June and October 2025 that targeted SonicWall SSL VPN devices to uncover a troubling trend. In every incident, Akira operators gained a foothold in larger, acquiring enterprises by compromising SonicWall devices inherited from smaller, acquired business during M&A. In these cases, the acquiring enterprises were unaware that these devices existed in their new environments, leaving critical vulnerabilities exposed."

Influencers In The Crosshairs: How Cybercriminals Are Targeting Content Creators
"It’s not an easy time to be an influencer. Brands are spending less, ad revenue is declining and competition is fierce – including from AI-generated influencers and impersonators. According to one study, around half of the industry makes just $15,000 or less per year, while just one in 10 pull in over $100,000. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s another challenge: influencers are an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals. A recent spear-phishing campaign abusing brands such as Tesla and Red Bull highlights the potential risks."

Is Your Android TV Streaming Box Part Of a Botnet?
"On the surface, the Superbox media streaming devices for sale at retailers like BestBuy and Walmart may seem like a steal: They offer unlimited access to more than 2,200 pay-per-view and streaming services like Netflix, ESPN and Hulu, all for a one-time fee of around $400. But security experts warn these TV boxes require intrusive software that forces the user’s network to relay Internet traffic for others, traffic that is often tied to cybercrime activity such as advertising fraud and account takeovers."
