New Tooling

Cloud-Audit: Fast, Open-Source AWS Security Scanner
"Running AWS security audits without a dedicated security team typically means choosing between enterprise platforms with per-check billing and generic open-source scanners that produce findings with no remediation guidance. Cloud-audit, a Python CLI tool published on GitHub by Mariusz Gebala, takes a narrower scope and attaches a fix to every finding it generates."

Malware

The Return Of PhantomRaven: Detecting Three New Waves Of Npm Supply Chain Attacks
"Endor Labs identified 88 new malicious npm packages belonging to three new waves (Wave 2, 3, and 4) of the PhantomRaven campaign distributed between November 2025 and February 2026. At the time of writing, the campaign remains active: 81 of the 88 packages are still available on npm, and two of the three new command-and-control servers continue to operate. PhantomRaven is a software supply chain attack that uses Remote Dynamic Dependencies (RDD) to hide credential-stealing malware in non-registry dependencies that bypass standard security scanning. The first wave affecting 126+ packages with over 86,000 downloads, was first described by Koi Security in October 2025."

Weaponizing Telegram Bots: How Threat Actors Exfiltrate Credentials
"Telegram is a free, online instant messenger platform that is also commonly abused by threat actors for a wide range of malicious activities. One of Telegram’s notable features is its extensive collection of web APIs, one of which is used to interact with automated bot accounts. Notably, Telegram bot accounts are still capable of posting messages in chats and uploading arbitrary files such as screenshots or archives of stolen information. As such, Telegram bots are often used by threat actors as a method of data exfiltration through a technically legitimate service."

Inside p1bot: A Vishing Platform Weaponizing ElevenLabs
"The threat intelligence community has been sounding the alarm on AI-powered social engineering for over a year. OpenAI's quarterly disruption reports have documented threat actors using LLMs to craft phishing lures, generate fake resumes, and scale influence operations. Google's Mandiant team published research in 2024 showing how AI-powered voice spoofing has been incorporated into red team operations, demonstrating just how convincing synthetic voices have become. Academic researchers have even built proof-of-concept vishing bots using off-the-shelf APIs (OpenAI's GPT for conversation, ElevenLabs for voice synthesis, Twilio for telephony) and demonstrated them against human subjects."

Phishers Hide Scam Links With IPv6 Trick In “free Toothbrush” Emails
"A recurring lure in phishing emails impersonating United Healthcare is the promise of a free Oral-B toothbrush. But the interesting part isn’t the toothbrush. It’s the link. Recently we found that these phishers have moved from using Microsoft Azure Blob Storage (links looking like this: https://{string}.blob.core.windows.net/{same string}/1.html to links obfuscated by using an IPv6-mapped IPv4 address to hide the IP in a way that looks confusing but is still perfectly valid and routable. For example: http://[::ffff:5111:8e14]/"

Iran Conflict Drives Heightened Espionage Activity Against Middle East Targets
"On 28 February 2026, the US and Israel conducted strikes targeting assets inside Iran, in a campaign the US called Operation Epic Fury. According to public sourcing, the attacks targeted Iranian missiles and air defenses, other military infrastructure, and Iranian leadership. Iran responded with retaliatory missile and drone strikes in the region, targeting US embassies and military installations. As the war continues into its second week, several Iranian hacktivist groups and personas have claimed responsibility for various disruptive operations. Iranian espionage-focused threat groups remain somewhat active despite the Iranian government’s shutdown of the internet immediately following the initial US and Israeli attacks."

“AgenticBlabbering”: How AI Browsers’ Verbose Reasoning Fuels The Ultimate Scamming Machine
"AI Browsers are not just browsing for us, they are browsing as us, with full access to our personal private data. And while they do it, they also talk way too much. This is AgenticBlabbering: a stream of internal reasoning, tool calls, screenshots, and security hesitations that reveals how the browser decides what is “safe enough” to click. By sniffing Comet’s agent traffic, we got a first-of-its-kind view into how an AI Browser actually thinks, and how much of that thinking leaks out. Then we put the black hat on and weaponized it. We fed that blabbering into a GAN-style loop that auto-generates scam flows, critiques and reshapes them using the agent’s own reactions, and iterates until the guardrails go quiet. We expected it to take hours."

5 Malicious Rust Crates Posed As Time Utilities To Exfiltrate .env Files
"Socket’s Threat Research Team uncovered a coordinated supply chain campaign in the Rust ecosystem involving five malicious crates: chrono_anchor, dnp3times, time_calibrator, time_calibrators, and time-sync. RustSec and the GitHub Advisory Database document that crates.io security yanked four of these packages shortly after publication. The fifth package, chrono_anchor, shows the threat actor is adapting. It introduced minor obfuscation and operational changes that reduced obvious indicators and helped it remain listed on crates.io until we identified and reported it."

Medtech Giant Stryker Offline After Iran-Linked Wiper Malware Attack
"Leading medical technology company Stryker has been hit by a wiper malware attack claimed by Handala, an Iranian-linked and pro-Palestinian hacktivist group. The medtech giant manufactures a range of products, including surgical and neurotechnology equipment. With over 53,000 employees, Stryker is a Fortune 500 company that reported global sales of $22.6 billion in 2024. Handala says they stole 50 terabytes of data before wiping tens of thousands of systems and servers across the company's network, forcing Stryker to shut down in "an unprecedented blow.""

Xygeni GitHub Action Compromised Via Tag Poison
"An unidentified threat actor breached one of application security vendor Xygeni's GitHub Actions this month via tag poisoning. Xygeni, which sells a number of AI-powered AppSec products, said in a March 10 security incident report that it "detected suspicious activity affecting the repository used to publish the xygeni/xygeni-action GitHub Action." The attacker used pull requests in an effort to introduce malicious code (a compact command-and-control implant) into the repository, though Xygeni said the attempts were blocked via existing branch detection rules."

Michelin Confirms Data Breach Linked To Oracle EBS Attack
"Tire giant Michelin has confirmed a data breach stemming from the massive cybercrime campaign that targeted organizations using Oracle’s E-Business Suite (EBS) solution. The Cl0p ransomware and extortion group has taken credit for the EBS hacking campaign, which involved the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities to gain access to data stored by the targeted organizations in Oracle’s enterprise management software. It’s worth noting that while Cl0p serves as the public-facing extortion brand for the Oracle EBS campaign, cybersecurity researchers believe the operation was driven by a sophisticated cluster of threat actors, most notably FIN11."

General News

The Bridge To AI Value Will Be Built, Not Bought
"The conversation around artificial intelligence often feels like a pendulum swinging between two extremes: a utopian future of effortless productivity and a dystopian vision of mass job displacement and hollowed-out economic growth. This "ghost GDP" thesis—the idea that AI will create statistical gains that fail to circulate through the real economy—stokes anxiety for business leaders and the public alike. But the facts on the ground from enterprises tell a different story. It’s a more pragmatic, grounded and ultimately more optimistic narrative. The evidence doesn't point to a speculative bubble or a workforce collapse. Instead, it shows a global economy in a period of foundational construction."

Agentic AI Security: Why You Need To Know About Autonomous Agents Now
"Agentic AI is making headlines worldwide for its potential force-multiplying capabilities, and organizations are understandably intrigued by how it can improve throughput and capabilities. However, as with any technological revolution, unforeseen issues are inevitable, and agentic AI is no exception. In organizations, these issues often arise from deploying personal assistants like OpenClaw or AI agents designed to optimize business and IT processes. Additionally, when personal assistants interact with “social networks” such as Moltbook, they introduce many hidden threats for organizations. These specific risks fall beyond the scope of this article, and will be addressed in a future blog."

Middle East Conflict Highlights Cloud Resilience Gaps
"Businesses that counted on the cloud's distributed nature to guarantee their data's availability have had a cold dose of reality during the past two weeks. On Feb. 28, following military strikes by the US and Israel, Iran's Internet traffic fell to less than 1% across all major networks in the country, according to Cloudflare Radar, which tracks Internet traffic internationally. Within 24 hours, Iran responded, targeting infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and other Gulf States, hitting two Amazon Web Services' facilities in the UAE with drone strikes, while a third facility in Bahrain suffered "physical impacts to [its] infrastructure," Amazon Web Services stated March 2 on its AWS Health Dashboard."

France: National Cybersecurity Agency Reports Ransomware Attack Drop In 2025
"The French Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) has confirmed the decline of known ransomware attacks in 2025, in part due to successful law enforcement operations. The latest edition of the agency’s annual threat report, published on March 11, dives into the range of cyber threats that French public and private organizations have faced in 2025. According to ANSSI data, there were 128 ransomware attacks reported in France in 2025, slightly fewer than the 141 such attacks recorded in 2024."

Cyber-Attacks On UK Firms Increase At Four Times Global Rate
"UK organizations were hit by far fewer cyber-attacks in February than the global average, but the year-on-year (YoY) increase was nearly four times the growth rate worldwide, according to Check Point. The security vendor’s February 2026 Global Threat Intelligence report revealed that it blocked an average of 2086 cyber-attacks per organization per week globally, a 9.8% year-on-year (YoY) increase. In the UK, the figure was only 1504 per week, but that represented a 36% YoY increase. Education, energy & utilities, government, healthcare and financial services were among the most frequently targeted sectors in the UK."

How To 10x Your Vulnerability Management Program In The Agentic Era
"The age of agentic cyberattacks isn’t coming; it’s here. In November 2025, Anthropic disclosed that a Chinese threat actor had weaponized Claude to launch an agentic cyberattack, operating autonomously with minimal human intervention. The artificial intelligence (AI) conducted reconnaissance, exploit development, credential theft, lateral movement and data exfiltration at a speed that no human team could match."

Automotive Tech: A Vast New Cyber Attack Surface
"For decades, the biggest risks associated with cars were tangible and immediate. Vehicles crashed. Engines failed. People were injured or killed. In response, and under pressure from regulatory agencies and insurers, automakers poured enormous effort into physical safety: crash testing, safety standards, recalls, airbags, and structural engineering. Over time, safety became non‑negotiable."

SOC Threat Radar — March 2026
"Identity-based threats continue to rise — particularly those involving anomalous logins using stolen credentials (see SOC Threat Radar — December 2025). During February, around one in every 16 suspicious logins came from Romania. This is an unexpected and anomalous increase compared to previous months, which is a clear indicator of suspicious activity."

Global Law Enforcement Agencies, With Support From Meta, Disrupt Major Criminal Scam Networks Based In Southeast Asia
"Online scams have become significantly more sophisticated and industrialized in recent years, with criminal networks often based in Southeast Asia in countries like Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos running what amount to full-scale business operations. These operations cause real harm — they upend lives, destroy trust, and are deliberately designed to avoid detection and disruption. The work to protect people against scammers is never done, and requires ongoing collaboration with partners across the tech industry and law enforcement to ensure a safer experience for everyone online."

What Boards Must Demand In The Age Of AI-Automated Exploitation
"“You knew, and you could have acted. Why didn’t you?” This is the question you do not want to be asked. And increasingly, it’s the question leaders are forced to answer after an incident. For years, many executive teams and boards have treated a large vulnerability backlog as an uncomfortable but tolerable fact of life: “we’ve accepted the risk.” If you’ve ever seen a report showing thousands (or tens of thousands) of open Highs and Critical CVEs, you’ve probably also heard the usual rationalizations from folks that would rather look the other way: we have other priorities, this will take years of engineering time to fix, how do you know these are really Critical, we’re still prioritizing, we’ll get to it."

Meta Says It Culled Millions Of Scam Ads Amid Accusations That It Profits From Them
"Meta said it removed 159 million scam ads in 2025, amid calls from U.S. lawmakers for an investigation into the company’s “facilitation of and profiting from” fraudulent advertising. The company said it also removed 10.9 million Facebook and Instagram accounts associated with criminal scam centers as it rolled out new tools aimed at stopping online fraud, something Meta describes as “one of the fastest-growing forms of organized crime globally.” Americans lost more than $10 billion to scams in 2023, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), with hundreds of billions stolen globally through schemes that often begin on social media."
