Spyware vendors use online ad infrastructure to profile targets and deliver exploits without requiring users to click anything. The investigation links Discover-Tech to Candiru, an Israeli spyware vendor that the US government placed on its Entity List in 2021. Candiru has since used the name Integrity Labs. Citizen Lab also identified links involving other surveillance […]

AI is already part of digital forensics and incident response work, with or without a policy in place to govern it. The issue is that these tools are growing more confident in their own output faster than practitioners are developing reliable ways to verify it. Without governance models and validation standards in place, that gap compounds and rarely stays contained to a workstation: an
Adding 10 new clients sounds like exactly the kind of problem an MSSP wants to have. More revenue, more accounts, more room to grow. But growth also brings more alerts, suspicious files and URLs, investigations, escalations, reports, and SLA commitments. And if too much of that work still depends on manual analyst effort, those 10 […] The post Your MSSP Added 10 New Clients. What Breaks First? appeared first on ANY.RUN's Cybersecurity Blog.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who ordered the investigation, on Monday called the sprawling spyware operation spearheaded by the country’s previous ruling party “one of the biggest scandals in Polish history since the fall of communism.”

A Canadian ransomware negotiator faces extortion charges in the FBI’s ShinyHunters crackdown. Here’s what is known, and what isn’t. ShinyHunters is the focus of a global FBI investigation, and the crackdown has led to the October 8 arrest of a Canadian ransomware negotiator who now faces extortion charges. Reuters reported the arrest, citing court documents, […]
Traditional attack surface management helps organizations discover exposed assets, but visibility alone is not enough to address threats. Criminal IP introduces AITEM, an AI-powered approach that connects exposure discovery with investigation, risk prioritization, and response. [...]
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday arrested the co-founder of a Canadian cybersecurity firm in connection with an investigation into the ShinyHunters hacking group that recently relieved the FBI of sensitive data on thousands of agents, multiple sources tell KrebsOnSecurity.
Agentic AI is the breakthrough of the moment, in security as everywhere else: agents that are threat-aware, active, and proactive in investigation. But it is also the technology behind a recent documented autonomous AI intrusion. Both facts are true, and the distance between them is what this article is about.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DoJ) have announced the disruption of malicious tools used by a China-linked advanced persistent threat group known as Flax Typhoon. To that end, the agencies seized several domains and blocked access to platforms that were used to scan, and in some cases infiltrate, U.S. critical infrastructure. The list of seized
The company said its investigation, carried out with external experts, found the attackers had accessed “some personal information, including names and contact details, and certain non-personal account related information.”
We just did a major update to FOR577 and added a lot of new material on day 5 about investigating AI usage in incident response. In the new material we dicsuss 8 of the most popular AI coding assistants and agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Warp, Windsurf, and Qwen Code. I've been using Claude Code and a little bit of Codex, but I also have recently been playing with OpenCode and am setting up Hermes. I decided t…
Community-built AI agents, skills, and MCP servers are landing in SOC workflows fast. Here’s what the Exchange Inspector tests before a listing earns its vetted tag on the CyberAgents Exchange. Three tools have already passed.Key takeawaysEvery Inspector-vetted listing clears three gates: an automated check, a frontier model assessment, and human verification. Tenable uses Tenable One AI Exposure to screen for prompt injection and exposed secrets, and OpenAI GPT Cyber models to assess the code …
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the security challenges created by fragmented, campus-by-campus environments. Higher education also faces a second pressure that makes that fragmentation harder to sustain: overlapping compliance obligations across FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA, and CMMC.Each framework brings different requirements, reporting timelines, and consequences for failure. Managing them across one institution is already complex, but across a multi-campus university system with separate tool…
The investigation into the incident revealed cybercriminals were able to breach the Fines/Fees and Restitution Enforcement (FARE) Program, a statewide program that helps the court collect outstanding debts tied to traffic and criminal violations.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Secret Service (USSS) on Tuesday warned that the FortiBleed credential harvesting campaign remains an active threat aimed at internet-facing Fortinet FortiGate firewalls and secure socket layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN) gateways. "The campaign exploits reused or leaked credentials and legacy SHA-256 password storage, enabling threat
This week, ASOS customers opened their phones to find a hostile push notification delivered through the retailer’s own app. The message claimed the company’s Snowflake environment had been compromised and directed ASOS to engage with the sender through Telegram. ASOS later confirmed to Sky News that an unauthorized customer notification had been sent and said it was investigating activity involving third-party platforms used to communicate with customers. The company also said basic personal in…
Wikimedia found unauthorized OpenAI agent activity on its platforms, including unapproved edits, proxy attempts and millions of automated API requests. Wikimedia ran its own investigation after other organizations started reporting rogue AI agents breaking into websites, and the answer came back yes, it happened here too. The foundation found unauthorized bot activity tied to OpenAI […]
US SOC teams are under pressure to detect and contain threats faster, but the real challenge is often not a lack of security solutions. It’s the growing amount of alerts, fragmented investigation data, evasive attack techniques, and the time analysts spend connecting the dots. As attacks become harder to validate and easier to hide inside […] The post 5 Critical Pain Points of Modern US SOCs and How to Solve Them appeared first on ANY.RUN's Cybersecurity Blog.
As organizations deploy autonomous AI agents, security teams face a significant shift as non-human non-human entities making decisions, invoking tools, and delegating tasks to other agents without human intervention. Security architectures built around human users, static APIs, and distinct endpoints break down when AI agents dynamically collaborate across an environment. As these interactions become more common, securing agent-to-agent communication without blocking adoption will require secur…
Accenture lost an FBI contract after a missed security patch exposed sensitive employee data, raising serious concerns over operational security. The FBI pulled an Accenture contractor off its account on Monday, and the reason is almost mundane compared to the damage it caused. One update didn’t get installed on time. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation […]
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has removed an Accenture contractor for their alleged role in a ShinyHunters-breach that led to the theft of personal details of thousands of bureau employees. That's according to a report from Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the matter. "To date, our review has determined that the incident occurred as the result of a security failure
As AI models become more capable, they uncover more security vulnerabilities and identify increasingly sophisticated paths to exploit them, raising the bar for how quickly defenders must respond. Security teams now face more potential vulnerabilities than their existing processes were designed to handle — each requiring investigation, reproduction, and a repair that must be tested […]
