Threat Actor Hacks 14,000 IP Cameras in Ukraine and Russia

A threat actor carried out Operation CameraSwarm, compromising more than 14,000 Dahua IP cameras across Ukraine and Russia by combining brute-force attacks with authentication bypasses and a persistent RPC backdoor. Hunt.io found exposed attacker infrastructure and evidence that the toolkit was prepared for reuse or handoff, but the operator’s final motive…

The push to designate AI as the next critical infrastructure sector

A new report from Americans for Responsible Innovation urges the federal government to treat key AI models, companies, and supporting industries as critical infrastructure and to name CISA as the lead agency for AI-related cyberthreats. The report argues that the AI stack is deeply interconnected with other critical sectors, making it vulnerable to disruptions that could cascade across the economy and national security. #AmericansforResponsibleInnovation #CISA #OpenAI #Anthropic #ANCHORCI

BTR Reforged: Weaponizing Defender’s Remediation Driver as a Kernel Operation Primitive

This research reverse engineers Windows Defender’s BTR.sys boot-time remediation driver and shows how its encrypted transaction format can be abused to perform arbitrary file and registry operations from Ring 0. The paper also introduces BTR_CLI, demonstrates EDR/AV bypass and boot-time neutralization against Microsoft Defender, and highlights the defensive implications of a signed built-in LOLDriver. #BTR.sys #BTR_CLI #MicrosoftDefender #MsMpEng.exe #WdFilter.sys #WdBoot.sys #WdNisDrv.sys #Mimikatz #mimidrv.sys #MSRC

Cloud Sync Root RegistrationShieldBreak: Hunting Windows Defender Remediation Abuse and Cloud Files Hijacking

ShieldBreak is a Windows proof of concept from Nightmare-Eclipse that chains Cloud Files, Object Manager manipulation, Defender APIs, and a timing race to achieve local privilege escalation on fully patched Windows systems. It ultimately writes an attacker-controlled DLL to C:WindowsSystem32phoneinfo.dll and triggers SYSTEM code execution through the Windows Error Reporting QueueReporting task. #NightmareEclipse #ShieldBreak #phoneinfo.dll #MpClient.dll #QueueReporting

CISA warns of hackers exploiting critical MLflow vulnerability

CISA warned federal agencies that attackers are exploiting CVE-2026-64849, a critical MLflow DNS-rebinding SSRF bypass that can expose internal services and cloud metadata on unpatched systems. The flaw in MLflow’s webhook delivery can let unauthenticated attackers steal AWS IAM credentials, prompting CISA to add it to its exploited-in-the-wild catalog and order rapid patching. #CVE-2026-64849 #MLflow #CISA #AWSIMDS #IAM
