An attacker broke into AWS accounts belonging to multiple Qubole customers between October 14 and October 26 and stole stored secrets and data, cloud security company Wiz said today. The attacker used credentials for an AWS account that Qubole's platform uses to reach those customers. How the attacker got those credentials has not been disclosed. Qubole, a data lake platform owned by Idera,
Attackers used the Ethersphere project's own release automation to publish malicious versions of two of its tools for the Swarm decentralized storage network: bee-js 13.3.0 and Swarm Desktop 0.56.2. Both releases download and run code built to steal the wallet key that Swarm Desktop keeps for its node, along with the stored password that unlocks it. The code is also built to install a backdoor
The South Asian cyber espionage group known as Bitter (aka APT-C-08, APT-Q-37, Hazy Tiger, Orange Yali, T-APT-17, and TA397) has been observed targeting South Asian organizations with a previously unreported remote access trojan called PapRAT. "PapRAT has both C++ and Rust implementations," Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Cara Lin said. "Its capabilities include command execution, file
A system doesn't always need a complicated bug to let someone in. Sometimes, a blank password is enough. That's one of the bigger stories this week. And it gets worse when the tools meant to keep systems updated or running safely become part of the attack. Elsewhere, attackers are hiding inside normal web traffic, stealing credentials from network devices, and finding new uses for exposed
The login systems behind two car brands' mobile apps could be taken over completely, two security researchers found, allowing them to access any customer's account and, for an owner with a connected car, unlock the doors and start the engine. Both apps signed customers in through ForgeRock, an identity platform now part of Ping Identity, and on those servers the researchers reached an
Some people who set up a Keplr crypto wallet with their Google or Apple account have had money stolen by an attacker. Keplr uses a company called Web3Auth to run that Google and Apple sign-in. The attacker used a security flaw at that company to reach the wallets, both companies said late last week. Web3Auth then used the attacker's own route to empty other at-risk wallets before the attacker
Everyone running LNbits, a free, open-source Bitcoin Lightning wallet system, should shut down their servers now because of a wave of attacks, the project said yesterday.

Some WordPress sites can still be attacked while they install the fix for an actively exploited flaw, according to Umut Bayram, the Picus Security researcher who found it. The update that installs the fix still unpacks its files using the site's old, unpatched code, so an attacker who strikes at the right moment can run code on the server. The researcher advises blocking web access to the
Threat actors are attempting to exploit a recently disclosed security flaw impacting OpenSSH that can enable sign-ins to accounts that have no password set, according to Previdian.

OpenAI on Thursday unveiled GPT‑6 Cyber, which it described as a major step forward in security research that brings together stronger cybersecurity capabilities with a step-change improvement in model alignment. The new model is "more capable at finding and fixing vulnerabilities, and far more reliable staying within the boundaries researchers set," OpenAI said. It has classified the model as
A fix for CVE-2026-83844, a remote code execution flaw in Windows Paint, is now in the Microsoft Store. Paint gets this fix only through a Store update, not through Windows updates. The fixed build, 11.2609.401.0, was the newest Paint build in all ten countries The Hacker News checked today. The flaw is an out-of-bounds read that could let an attacker run code over a network. Microsoft rates
A browser extension that can run scripts on claude.ai could make Claude Desktop run code on a person's computer, researchers at Forever Security, an endpoint security company, showed in a test.

Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis has revealed that its ongoing investigation into the agentic cyber attack targeting its systems also exposed names, usernames, password hashes and live tokens for all users. "While we investigated, we removed access to Reactor and Data Solutions," the company said. "At this time we continue to have no evidence that any investigations data has been accessed
A backdoor has been found hiding in the web server that runs Control Web Panel (CWP), a free panel for managing Linux hosting servers, researchers at QiAnXin's XLab said this week. The backdoored web server executes commands that attackers send via web requests, and those requests never appear in its access logs. Installing it takes root access, so the attackers must already control the server.
Two flaws in Barracuda's Email Security Gateway, an email-filtering appliance, can be chained to run commands on it as root, its highest level of access, with no login required. The company released patches on Monday, and the security firm watchTowr detailed the attack chain on Thursday. One flaw, CVE-2026-116606, is an authorization bypass. An unauthenticated attacker can use it to restore a
Attackers can log in to accounts that have no password, such as SSH key-only accounts, on some Alpine Linux servers running the standard openssh-server package. They need network access to the server, an account name, and a password between 257 and 1,024 bytes long. OpenSSH, which rates the flaw critical, released version 10.6p2 today to block it. Alpine has published fixed packages for every
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched vulnerability that could be exploited to bypass Lockdown Mode protections in OpenAI ChatGPT.

"The flaw could enable silent chat data theft, phishing,
How much damage can someone do without breaking much? Quite a lot, it seems. A stolen login can open doors across several systems. A trusted setting can be used to lock people out. Even a simple file copy can reach places it shouldn't. And while new tools are helping find security holes faster, some important systems are still taking months, sometimes over a year, to get patched. Not exactly a
A critical finding can move through several security tools and still leave the organization exposed. The vulnerability has a severity score, and a ticket has reached the queue. Progress then depends on information the finding may lack: who owns the system, whether attackers can reach it, what protection exists, and how a change could affect the business. Each missing detail creates
OpenAI on Wednesday detailed a pipeline that employed an upcoming cyber-focused artificial intelligence (AI) model to validate and patch 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux for $1.2 million in API costs. "Our prototype identified and analyzed 2,308 candidate Linux kernel findings, dynamically reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities, and produced 948 local privilege escalation (LPE)
October 2026 brought another wave of cyber threats targeting US businesses, with attackers exploiting trusted platforms, legitimate authentication processes, and everyday business workflows.

Apple has revealed that it plans to start checking public iCloud links for harmful content starting with iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3, and visionOS 27.3. The change specifically applies to scenarios where users share iCloud content, such as photos in iCloud Photos or files in iCloud Drive, by sharing a link and making it accessible to "Anyone with the link." When users choose this option,
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has disclosed that an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted threat actor it tracks as Crafty Falcon is targeting organizations in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sectors in the country. Describing the threat as active and ongoing, the activity involves the use of publicly-available AI-driven offensive security tools
Zyxel GS1900 network switches that received the vendor's earlier fix for an actively exploited flaw are still open to the exploit attackers used, researchers at Binarly found. The exploit lets anyone who can reach a switch's web management interface run commands on it without logging in. Zyxel has released new firmware for 10 GS1900 models that closes the hole. The earlier fix is the 2.90
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a medium-severity security flaw impacting multiple Apple operating systems to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, following reports of active exploitation. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2024-27834 (CVSS score: 5.5), a case of improper authentication that could allow an attacker with
