Grinex, a Kyrgyzstan-incorporated cryptocurrency exchange sanctioned by the U.K. and the U.S. last year, said it's suspending operations after it blamed Western intelligence agencies for a $13.74 million hack. The exchange said it fell victim to what it described as a large-scale cyber attack that bore hallmarks of foreign intelligence agency involvement. This attack led to the theft of over 1
Threat actors are exploiting security flaws in TBK DVR and end‑of‑life (EoL) TP-Link Wi-Fi routers to deploy Mirai-botnet variants on compromised devices, according to findings from Fortinet FortiGuard Labs and Palo Alto Networks Unit 42. The attack targeting TBK DVR devices has been found to exploit CVE-2024-3721 (CVSS score: 6.3), a medium-severity command injection vulnerability affecting
Industry and ad hoc coalitions appear poised to help fill the gap created by NIST's decision to cut back on CVE data enrichment.
In embracing device code phishing, attackers trick victims into handing over account access by using a service's legitimate new-device login flow.
AI's danger isn't that it's creating new bugs, it's that it's amplifying old ones.
Huntress is warning that threat actors are exploiting three recently disclosed security flaws in Microsoft Defender to gain elevated privileges in compromised systems. The activity involves the exploitation of three vulnerabilities that are codenamed BlueHammer (requires GitHub sign-in), RedSun, and UnDefend, all of which were released as zero-days by a researcher known as Chaotic Eclipse (
The Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) requires plans to protect OT systems, audits by independent third parties, and a hybrid OT-security role.
Google this week announced a new set of Play policy updates to strengthen user privacy and protect businesses against fraud, even as it revealed it blocked or removed over 8.3 billion ads globally and suspended 24.9 million accounts in 2025. The new policy updates relate to contact and location permissions in Android, allowing third-party apps to access the contact lists and a user's location in
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced changes to the way it handles cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) listed in its National Vulnerability Database (NVD), stating it will only enrich those that fulfil certain conditions owing to an explosion in CVE submissions. "CVEs that do not meet those criteria will still be listed in the NVD but will not
An international law enforcement operation has taken down 53 domains and arrested four people in connection with commercial distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) operations that were used by more than 75,000 cybercriminals. The ongoing effort, dubbed Operation PowerOFF, disrupted access to the DDoS-for-hire services, took down the technical infrastructure supporting them, and obtained access to
A recently disclosed high-severity security flaw in Apache ActiveMQ Classic has come under active exploitation in the wild, per the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). To that end, the agency has added the vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-34197 (CVSS score: 8.8), to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, requiring Federal Civilian
Introduction
The National Institute of Standards and Technology carved a new path for vulnerability remediation by changing the way it prioritizes software flaws.
Sapphire Sleet uses fake job offers and phony Zoom updates to deliver ClickFix attacks that steal credentials and sensitive data from Macs.
A benign looking update Dragon Boss pushed out in March 2025 established persistence via scheduled tasks and arranged for future payloads to be excluded from Windows Defender.
Cybersecurity researchers have warned of an active malicious campaign that's targeting the workforce in the Czech Republic with a previously undocumented botnet dubbed PowMix since at least December 2025. "PowMix employs randomized command-and-control (C2) beaconing intervals, rather than persistent connection to the C2 server, to evade the network signature detections," Cisco Talos
Threat actors know how to bypass security systems outside of traditional IT environments. Implementing 2FA could provide a needed extra security barrier in the physical world.
The Secure Boot refresh is one of the largest coordinated security maintenance efforts across the Windows ecosystem, Microsoft said. Update those PCs soon.
