ESET researchers discover another iteration of NGate malware, this time possibly developed with the assistance of AI
Huntress observed in-the-wild use of Nightmare-Eclipse tooling, including BlueHammer, RedSun, and UnDefend, in a live intrusion involving FortiGate VPN compromise as the initial access, reconnaissance commands, and likely tunneling activity.
An attack is what you see, but a business operation is what you’re up against
The Huntress SOC has seen a recent uptick in incidents involving compromised Bomgar remote monitoring and management (RMM) instances.
A Linux user recently tried to respond to potentially malicious behavior on their machine using OpenAI’s Codex coding agent, before installing the Huntress agent. What ensued shows the unexpected impacts of this AI use case on DFIR investigations.
Standard EDR creates a gap between detection and action. Huntress closes it. Learn how our Attack Disruption Engine automatically disrupts threat actors and reduces the impact of endpoint attacks.
Ignoring a real breach notification invites risk, but falling for a bogus one could be even worse. Stop reacting on autopilot.
VPN misconfiguration is behind 70% of intrusions. See real Huntress SOC incidents and learn the simple steps to close your biggest open door before attackers walk through it.
Introduction Advances in AI model-powered exploitation have demonstrated that general-purpose AI models can excel at vulnerability discovery, even without being purpose-built for the task. Eventually, capabilities such as these will be integrated directly into the development cycle, and code will be more difficult to exploit than ever; however, this transition creates a critical window of risk. As we harden existing software with AI, threat actors will use it to discover and exploit novel vulne…

The takedown of a global phishing-as-a-service ecosystem
Written by: Jamie Collier, Robin Grunewald Germany has reclaimed its position as a primary focus for cyber extortion in Europe. While data leak site (DLS) posts rose almost 50% globally in 2025, Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) data shows that the surge is hitting German infrastructure harder and faster than its regional neighbors, marking a significant return to the high-pressure levels previously observed in the country during 2022 and 2023. Cyber Criminals Pivoting Back to Germany Germany mo…
Cloudflare is introducing scannable API tokens, enhanced OAuth visibility, and GA for resource-scoped permissions. These tools help developers implement a true least-privilege architecture while protecting against credential leakage.
We share Cloudflare's internal strategy for governing MCP using Access, AI Gateway, and MCP server portals. We also launch Code Mode to slash token costs and recommend new rules for detecting Shadow MCP in Cloudflare Gateway.
Managed OAuth for Cloudflare Access helps AI agents securely navigate internal applications. By adopting RFC 9728, agents can authenticate on behalf of users without using insecure service accounts.
Huntress uncovered a malware operation using signed PUP to deploy AV killers with SYSTEM privileges. Learn how this adware crosses the line into malware territory and how anyone could have hijacked their update mechanism.
Security programs are failing against modern identity threats. See new Huntress data to discover a roadmap to building a resilient security team.
Don’t forget to secure your side doors. Attackers look for the systems you treat as secondary. Don't neglect staging environments, as they’re a critical part of your attack surface.
Posted by Jiacheng Lu, Software Engineer, Google Pixel Team Google is continuously advancing the security of Pixel devices. We have been focusing on hardening the cellular baseband modem against exploitation. Recognizing the risks associated within the complex modem firmware, Pixel 9 shipped with mitigations against a range of memory-safety vulnerabilities. For Pixel 10, Google is advancing its proactive security measures further. Following our previous discussion on "Deploying Rust in Existing…

Attackers are already targeting the AI tools your team just started using. Here's what that looks like when it lands in your own environment. And what actually stops it.
Posted by Ben Ackerman, Chrome team, Daniel Rubery, Chrome team and Guillaume Ehinger, Google Account Security team Following our April 2024 announcement, Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) is now entering public availability for Windows users on Chrome 146, and expanding to macOS in an upcoming Chrome release. This project represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to combat session theft, which remains a prevalent threat in the modern security landscape. Session theft t…
Event 1644 shows localhost, hiding the attacker's real IP. By correlating Event 5156 with a ~60-80ms timing window, you can attribute ADWS queries to their actual source—and the data was already in your SIEM.
Group-IB hosted the FIRST Technical Colloquium in Paris, where cybersecurity experts challenged assumptions around modern cyber defense. FIRST Chair Olivier Caleff opened and moderated the event.
