In the past few weeks, I have been using Gemma4 as a Large Language Model (LLM) to see how useful it can be to analyze some of the malware hashes uploaded to the DShield sensor over the past 30 days and figure out how its recommendation can be considered useful about the activity my DShield sensor is collecting and tracking. The model I use for this testing is gemma4:e4b [2] using two sites to compare the data against VirusTotal and CyberGordon. 
When you build a new application or capability on Amazon Web Services (AWS), you want to focus on what you’re building. Getting a service running almost always begins with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Many AWS services that act on your behalf need an IAM role, an identity the service assumes to access your […]
The "City-Forum" campaign has been active since at least March 2025 and has targeted organizations across multiple sectors with custom tooling.
Control iD iDSecure Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities Control iD iDSecure is an on-premises access control and time attendance management application for Windows. Version 4.8.1.0 is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:CVE-2026-92625 :Unauthenticated Service Restart Denial of Service (High): The /api/license/restartService endpoint is reachable without authentication and invokes an internal routine that terminates the iDSecure service process and relaunches it by way of a generated bat…
ScadaLTS Multiple Vulnerabilities ScadaLTS is an open-source, web-based SCADA/HMI application. Version 2.7.8.1 is affected by multiple vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-19656: Authenticated Remote Code Execution (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)A server-side method is exposed without any authorization checks, allowing any authenticated user (including one holding only low-privilege, read-only permissions) to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the underlying host. Successful exploitation…
The North Korean threat actor known as Lazarus Group has been attributed to the zero-day exploitation of a newly patched security flaw impacting Microsoft Windows to deliver a never-before-seen backdoor targeting defense and aerospace companies across France, Germany, Brazil, and India. The activity, per Check Point Research, is part of Operation Dream Job, a long-running cyber espionage and

Walmart colocates red and blue teams to build trust and improve security through collaborative purple teaming exercises
A couple of days ago, Xavier posted about Atuin to gain more insight into the command history. Atuin does a great job of better organizing what is usually handled by "bash_history" and collecting meaningful additional data. Our reader David commented that this can also be done quite well with Linux's kernel process accounting feature, and I think he is very right. I really like Linux process accounting for a number of reasons, so here is a quick introduct…
A massive set of 737 free VPN and proxy extensions have been found to mainly target Russian-speaking users seeking access to blocked services with an aim to intercept browser traffic and route them through a proxy infrastructure. The extensions, published across at least 40 Chrome Web Store developer accounts, racked up 75,486 installs. Of those identified, 274 have been found to impersonate 66
Attackers continue to target critical infrastructure and government-linked organizations in the country, mirroring the increased activity across Latin America.
AI took center stage, but the clearest lesson was less about what AI can do than about who is accountable when something goes wrong
An Akira affiliate rebooted into Safe Mode to kill EDR and Defender, then Safe Mode broke their own ransomware. Here’s the full attack chain.
Something shifted in security operations over the last two years: AI stopped being a pilot program and became the plan.And if you survey 500 security professionals on whether that's going well – as Omdia did, commissioned by Rapid7 – you get a remarkable level of consensus: 97% report positive outcomes, 98% say AI reduces alert fatigue, and 95% say it's helping address staffing shortages.Those numbers are high enough that the story could stop there; AI is working, everyone agrees. Move on. But …
The big-box giant has scaled its defenses by encouraging trust and innovation. Good communications, transparency, and team spirit are key factors.
For over two decades, the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has served as the U.S. government repository for standards-based vulnerability management data and as a foundational resource for cybersecurity risk analysis, vulnerability management, compliance automation, and software security. New Opportunities for the NVD via Automation Our cybersecurity landscape is changing dramatically and is being reconfigured by artificial intelligence (AI) in unique, exciting, and yes, sometimes cha…
A newly disclosed flaw in the way OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google carried hidden AI reasoning between API calls let researchers recover internal reasoning and secrets from session logs, including API keys and passwords. The weakness affected encrypted reasoning objects used by the providers' reasoning APIs, where a block created in one session could be replayed into another and, during testing,
Enterprise defenses are tuned to catch the attacks that make noise. This year's data shows attackers winning by making none. According to Picus Labs' new Blue Report 2026, which measured more than 338 million real attack simulations across actual client production environments in the first half of 2026, defenses are having one of their strongest years yet. Average prevention effectiveness
Adobe has shipped updates to address multiple critical security vulnerabilities impacting ColdFusion, Commerce, and Campaign Classic that, if successfully exploited, could result in arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation. The most severe of the flaws are listed below - CVE-2026-48362 (CVSS score: 10.0) - An operating system command injection vulnerability in ColdFusion that could
Threat actors have begun to actively exploit a recently patched critical security flaw in Broadcom VMware vCenter, according to new findings from QUIRSO. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-59310 (CVSS score: 9.8), a directory-traversal vulnerability in the VMware vCenter server that a malicious actor with network access can exploit to execute arbitrary code. Patches for the flaw were
Two malicious LiteLLM releases sat on PyPI for about 40 minutes in March carrying credential-stealing code capable of harvesting cloud keys, SSH keys, Kubernetes tokens, database passwords, and other secrets from systems that installed them. Threat intelligence firm CloudSEK now says a dataset it obtained, built from roughly 434,000 files the attackers captured, maps potential exposure to more
SAP has released patches to address a maximum-severity security flaw impacting Commerce Cloud (Data Hub Adapter) that could result in arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability, assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2026-58231, is rated 10.0 on the CVSS scoring system. It has been described as a case of insufficient authorization checks and input validation. "SAP Commerce Cloud allows an
A new NFC relay malware designated as WindRelay, paired with SpyNote RAT enables live-call fraud, combining social engineering with dual digital and physical cash-out.
The security researcher going by the name Chaotic Eclipse (aka INFINITE NIGHTMARE, MSNightmare, and Nightmare-Eclipse) has released a proof-of-concept (PoC) for a new Microsoft zero-day called ShieldBreak.
