Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new macOS information stealer called CrashStealer that's capable of harvesting sensitive data from compromised systems.
Unlike other information stealers that are built on AppleScript droppers or Objective-C-based wrappers, CrashStealer is implemented in native C++, according to Jamf Threat Labs.
"It validates the victim's login password locally beforeView the full article
Google and Microsoft have pulled ModHeader, a popular header-editing extension with roughly 1.6 million installs across Chrome and Edge, after researchers found a hidden browsing-history collector built into its official store version.
The collector was dormant. An empty allow-list kept it switched off, and no proof has emerged that it ever gathered or sent a single browsing domain.

Somewhere right now, a security tool is quietly finding bugs faster than any human can fix them. That's supposed to be the good news. The catch is that the attackers have the same tools, pointed the other way, and they don't file tickets.
That's the shape of this week. Trusted code turns on the people who installed it. Old bugs from last year are still landing because the fix sat in a ****** tooView the full article
Give an AI assistant a memory and access to your inbox, and you hand an attacker a way to rewrite what it thinks it knows about you. A single email can trick that agent into saving a false "fact" about the user, hide the change, and quietly steer its answers in later sessions.
When it works, the person reads an ordinary-looking reply and never learns their assistant was tampered with.

A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) operation called Forg365 is using a combination of device code phishing, adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) tactics, antibot evasion, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted lure creation, and post-compromise mailbox operations targeting Microsoft 365 accounts.
Distributed via Telegram and costing $400 a month (or $3,800 per year), attack chains leverage phishingView the full article
Meta has filed a patent application for an AI that listens to your voice throughout the day, works out how it thinks you are feeling from the way you sound, and keeps a timestamped log of every read.
Each read gets pinned to the moment it happened: the time, your location, what you were doing, even how you were using your phone. Some versions in the filing would listen all day; others wouldView the full article
A few days ago, I was sitting with the CISO of a Fortune 50 company, walking through how his security team was thinking about AI agents in the SOC. Smart team. Serious program. They had already connected Claude to a few detection tools and were seeing real value in specific investigations. But as we mapped out the broader architecture, something kept nagging at me. The design they were buildingView the full article
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged an intrusion in which an unknown threat actor leveraged a vibe-coded PowerShell script for Active Directory (AD) enumeration.
"The script looked for the Domain Controller (DC) and mapped users, computers, and domains, before creating a directory and exporting out a number of files, and finally creating AD_Report.html to measure the success of theView the full article
An attacker running a live Microsoft 365 phishing operation left a Python web server listening on a public port with directory listing switched on. The command that did it: python3 -m http.server 8080, was still sitting in the readable .bash_history.
From that one lapse, French security firm Lexfo lifted the operator's entire toolkit and pivoted through it to two moreView the full article

Researchers at firmware security firm Binarly have found six new flaws in U-Boot, the small program that starts up hardware as varied as home routers, smart cameras, and the management chips inside data-center servers.
Four of the bugs can ****** a device. The other two could let an attacker who slips a malicious image in front of the bootloader run their own code, before the deviceView the full article
Researchers at Ledger's Donjon security team have shown that a precisely timed laser pulse, aimed at the chip inside a Tangem crypto wallet card, can reset the card's password to anything the attacker picks.
No old password. No backup card. Once it is reset, whoever did it controls the wallet and can move the coins out.
This is not an emergency for most owners. The attack needsView the full article

A single wrong variable on one line in XQUIC, Alibaba's QUIC and HTTP/3 library, lets any remote client ****** the server with a short burst of completely legal traffic. There is no patch.
FoxIO researcher Sébastien Féry disclosed the flaw on July 8 and nicknamed it XRING. He says it needs no login and no malformed packets: about 260 bytes of ordinary QPACK traffic takes the serverView the full article
Most enterprises assume their asset inventory is close enough to accurate. The evidence suggests otherwise. According to a survey of over 600 security leaders in the 2026 Axonius Actionability Report, only 45% of organizations consolidate their asset and exposure data into a single view, and every downstream security program inherits whatever the inventory gets wrong.

A cybercrime crew left one of its own servers wide open on the internet for three weeks, and it exposed the operation's inner workings: the hacking tools, the activity logs, and target lists naming more than 1.4 million websites.
Far fewer were actually broken into, but the exposed files showed researchers how a mass site-hacking operation runs from the inside.
The operation, now tracked asView the full article
Researchers ran 281 of the most popular free VPN apps on the Google Play Store through a new testing system and found that many fail at the basics people install a VPN for, i.e., keeping their traffic private and secure.
The apps flagged with at least one problem have been installed more than 2.4 billion times.
The problems are basic, not sophisticated. 29 apps let user traffic leak outsideView the full article
