Securonix Threat Research details the complex JS#SMUGGLER campaign, a three-step web attack using obfuscated JavaScript and hidden HTA files to install the NetSupport RAT on user Windows desktops, granting hackers full remote control and persistent access.
Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new campaign dubbed JS#SMUGGLER that has been observed leveraging compromised websites as a distribution vector for a remote access trojan named NetSupport RAT.
The attack chain, analyzed by Securonix, involves three main moving parts: An obfuscated JavaScript loader injected into a website, an HTML Application (HTA) that runs encrypted
ReliaQuest warns that the cybercriminal collective “Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters” appears to be using social engineering attacks to target organizations’ Zendesk instances.
Space Bears ransowmare claims it obtained Comcast files through a breach at Quasar Inc, with threats to publish the data and separate leaks promised from Quasar itself.
In the second installment of the “Advent of Configuration Extraction” series, security researchers have unwrapped QuasarRAT, a widely-deployed .NET remote access trojan (RAT), revealing sophisticated techniques for extracting its encrypted configuration from both clean and obfuscated binary samples. The analysis demonstrates a reproducible methodology using Jupyter Notebook, pythonnet, and dnSpy, providing cybersecurity professionals with practical […]

Global cybercrime is accelerating toward a projected cost of 15.63 trillion dollars by 2029, up from an estimated 10.5 trillion dollars today, as criminals exploit new technologies faster than businesses can defend against them. Yet 59% of organisations say they suffered at least one successful cyber attack in the past 12 months, and one in […]
A critical security vulnerability has been discovered affecting billions of WhatsApp and Signal users worldwide. Researchers found that hackers can exploit delivery receipts to secretly monitor user activity, track daily routines, and drain battery life, all without leaving any visible trace. The attack, called “Careless Whisper,” uses the delivery receipt feature that confirms when messages reach their […]
A new platform known as the “kitten” project has emerged as a coordination hub for hacktivist campaigns targeting Israel, operating at the intersection of cyber activism and state-aligned influence. While the operators publicly deny direct ties to Iran, technical evidence and infrastructure traces indicate a close relationship with an Iranian cybersecurity ecosystem and pro-Iranian hacktivist […]
It’s been a week of chaos in code and calm in headlines. A bug that broke the internet’s favorite framework, hackers chasing AI tools, fake apps stealing cash, and record-breaking cyberattacks — all within days. If you blink, you’ll miss how fast the threat map is changing.
New flaws are being found, published, and exploited in hours instead of weeks. AI-powered tools meant to help developers
The holiday season compresses risk into a short, high-stakes window. Systems run hot, teams run lean, and attackers time automated campaigns to get maximum return. Multiple industry threat reports show that bot-driven fraud, credential stuffing and account takeover attempts intensify around peak shopping events, especially the weeks around Black Friday and Christmas.
Why holiday peaks
