A single leaked username and password for a European fourth‑party engineer granted access to a central Next Generation Operations Support System (NGOSS) portal that managed operational dashboards for over 200 airports, exposing live infrastructure inventories, device statuses, and network diagnostic tools. SVigil detected the credential circulation and the vendor revoked access and enforced emergency MFA to avert potentially massive DoS and baggage-reconciliation outages. #SVigil #NGOSS

Amaranth-Dragon (a nexus linked to APT-41) ran highly targeted 2025 espionage campaigns across Southeast Asia using weaponized archives that exploited WinRAR CVE-2025-8088, custom Amaranth Loader, Havoc C2, and a new Telegram-based TGAmaranth RAT. The campaigns used geo-restricted Cloudflare-protected C2s, legitimate hosting (Dropbox, Pastebin), DLL sideloading, and payload encryption to maximize stealth and persistence. #Amaranth-Dragon #TGAmaranth
Amaranth Dragon, a threat actor linked to APT41, has been conducting espionage attacks against government and law enforcement organizations across Southeast Asia by exploiting the WinRAR path traversal flaw CVE-2025-8088. The group used legitimate tools alongside a custom Amaranth Loader and Cloudflare-backed C2 infrastructure to deliver encrypted payloads (including the Havoc framework and the TGAmaranth RAT), employ strict geofencing, and maintain stealth and persistence. #AmaranthDragon #CVE2025-8088 #WinRAR #TGAmaranthRAT
ShinyHunters claims it stole data from over 14 million Panera Bread accounts and leaked a 760MB archive after Panera refused to pay extortion demands.

Security researchers attribute the Notepad++ update hijacking to the Chinese state-linked APT Lotus Blossom, which abused the project’s update infrastructure to deliver a newly identified backdoor called Chrysalis to targeted victims. The trojanized NSIS installer sideloaded a renamed Bitdefender Submission Wizard (BluetoothService.exe) to load encrypted shellcode and a malicious DLL, using…
SecurityWeek’s Cyber Insights 2026 gathers experts who warn that cyberwarfare – driven by nation-state pre-positioning, AI-enabled operations, and rising geopolitical tensions – will escalate faster than criminal cybercrime in 2026. The report highlights blurred lines between criminal and state actors, the difficulty of attribution, and the need for improved detection, resilience,…
New Cyble research shows ransomware attacks rose about 30% since late 2025 and continued into January 2026, with many incidents targeting software and manufacturing supply chains. Top groups such as Qilin and CL0P led high-volume claims while several major supply-chain-related breaches and new ransomware affiliates increased the overall threat. #Qilin #CL0P…
Rublevka Team is an affiliate-driven cryptoscam operation that uses JavaScript-based Solana wallet drainers embedded in spoofed landing pages to trick victims into connecting wallets and signing malicious transactions, generating approximately $10.9 million in reported profits. Their infrastructure and monetization include a Telegram bot for campaign automation, shared and rotating domains, ready-made landing pages, and support for many wallet types (notably Phantom) to drain SOL and SPL tokens. #RublevkaTeam #Solana
