A single click on a trusted Microsoft link could have let an attacker pull emails, calendar details, and indexed files out of Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise Search.
Researchers at Varonis Threat Labs chained three bugs into a one-click exfiltration path they call SearchLeak. Because the link pointed to a real microsoft.com domain, traditional anti-phishing and URL filtering tools wereView the full article
Stuff broke again. Not in a movie way. An old tool was left exposed. An abandoned package was abused. A deprecated feature was still running in prod.
This week is the same lesson in a new form: phishing kits are easier to rent, AI names are useful bait, old login paths still fail, and forgotten software keeps becoming someone else's entry point.

Employee onboarding is a busy time for IT teams. New starters need devices, accounts, access permissions, and passwords, all delivered within a tight timeframe.
That usually means sharing a temporary "first-day" password so employees can access systems for the first time. The issue is that these passwords don't always stay temporary. They may be sent over email or SMS, reused across accounts,View the full article
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a network of 152 Google Chrome extensions that act as new tab live wallpaper add-ons to distribute a potentially unwanted program (PUP) family.
The cluster spans 38 separate Chrome Web Store publisher accounts and three brand backends: tabplugins[.]com, yowgames[.]com, and chromewallpaper[.]com. They have been collectively installed 105,000 times. TheView the full article
An attacker tampered with trusted JavaScript files used by WordPress sites running PushEngage, OptinMonster, and TrustPulse, turning those files into a way to break into the sites.
When a site administrator was logged in as the file loaded, the code created an admin account under the attacker's control and installed a hidden plugin that opened a way back in. Ordinary visitors did not trigger itView the full article

Anthropic said on Friday it will "abruptly disable" its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for all users after the U.S. government ordered it to suspend access to the models for foreign nationals, whether inside or outside the U.S., citing national security concerns.
The AI company said it received an order at 5:21 p.m. ET, instructing it to suspendView the full article
Attackers took over more than 400 packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) this week and rewrote their build scripts to install a credential stealer on any machine that built them.
The malware is a Rust binary built to harvest developer secrets. When it lands with root, it can also load an eBPF rootkit to hide itself. The AUR is Arch Linux's community package collection, and it is separateView the full article

Google on Friday said it's pursuing legal action against a ******** cybercrime network, accusing it of using its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) agent to send phishing text messages targeting Americans.
The network is said to be behind the development and management of a phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) software kit called Outsider, per the tech giant.
"The operation weaponized Gemini to helpView the full article
Instead of hiding on the laptops and servers defenders watch most closely, a China-nexus group spent close to a decade hidden inside the Linux login system itself.
Sygnia, which tracks the group as Velvet Ant, says it backdoored the PAM and OpenSSH components that decide who is allowed to sign in, planting its access where ordinary cleanup could not reach it. The network it targeted had noView the full article
Cybersecurity researchers have described what they say is a new class of attack that can trick artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents into running arbitrary code on developer machines.
Called Agentjacking by Tenet Security, the attack can be triggered by means of a fake error report crafted using Sentry, an open-source error-tracking and performance-monitoring platform.
"The attackView the full article
For most of the past decade, managed detection and response was the answer to a real problem. Security teams couldn't staff around the clock, couldn't hire enough analysts, and needed someone else to handle the alert ******. MDR stepped in. It worked well enough. Until now.
The threat landscape has changed faster than the MDR model can adapt. Attackers are using AI to move faster, generate moreView the full article
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of three now-patched security flaws impacting LangGraph, including a critical vulnerability chain that could result in remote code execution.
LangGraph is an open-source framework created by LangChain to build complex, stateful, and multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI) agentic applications.
