Ep. 66 - Poisoned Pipelines: TeamPCP and the FBI Flash on Weaponized Dev Tools

A criminal crew with APT-grade patience is trojanizing the very tools defenders trust. Host Tova Dvorin sits down with Adrian Culley to break down FBI FLASH-20260702-01 (coordinated with CISA) on TeamPCP — the group compromising Trivy, KICS, LiteLLM, and the Telnyx SDK to sit inside CI/CD pipelines. Inside: the CanisterWorm and SANDCLOCK credential stealers, the self-replicating "Mini Shai-Hulud" worm across npm and PyPI, npm account takeovers via expired recovery domains, and five concrete defenses — starting with searching your GitHub org for "tpcp-docs" right now.

Security Bulletin: GitHub Impersonation Deploys Information Stealer

Arctic Wolf Internal Security Operations (SecOps) recently identified a GitHub page impersonating Arctic Wolf to target our customers and prospects. The SecOps team immediately escalated these findings to our Threat Research team, who uncovered a complex attack chain subsequently deploying information-stealing malware. Arctic Wolf has since removed this fake GitHub page.

Vect and TeamPCP partner for ransomware campaigns

Counter Threat Unit (CTU) researchers investigated two interconnected threat groups known as Vect and TeamPCP. The two groups announced a formal operational partnership in late March 2026 to combine TeamPCP’s credential harvesting and data theft capabilities with Vect’s ransomware deployment infrastructure in a widespread campaign involving supply chain attacks and the extortion of multiple organizations.

Veil#Drop: Blogspot-Hosted PowerShell Loader

Veil#Drop is a sophisticated multi-stage malware delivery framework that combines social engineering, compromised websites, malicious JavaScript launchers, PowerShell download cradles, and trusted cloud-hosted infrastructure to deploy PureLog Stealer entirely in memory. The infection chain begins with a deceptively named JavaScript file masquerading as a document (e.g., transcript.pdf.js), which executes through Windows Script Host and launches PowerShell with execution policy bypasses enabled.

RubyGems supply chain attack: malware used as a credential exfiltration dead drop

Package registries have a well-known abuse pattern: attackers upload malicious packages, and unsuspecting developers install them. Our researchers just found the pattern working in reverse, in a RubyGems supply chain attack that turns the registry into a place to stash stolen data rather than deliver it.

From CitrixBleed 2 to Cloudflared: The Tools and Techniques Behind Anubis Ransomware Attacks

Throughout 2026, Arctic Wolf has investigated multiple Anubis ransomware intrusions. Although threat actor tradecraft differs between intrusions, key themes have emerged: abuse of VPN infrastructure, blending in with legitimate activity through the use of Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solutions, and using other legitimate binaries on victim devices.

Ep. 4: The Sony Playbook

It’s been nearly 12 years since North Korea launched its crippling attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment over a Seth Rogen film. Most Americans remember the celebrity leaks, the embarrassing emails, the Hollywood spectacle of it all. What they missed was the playbook: Why simply hack an organization when you can bleed reputations dry? Turn stolen data into psychological warfare. It was a model that would soon echo everywhere from Russian intelligence operations to modern ransomware gangs.

Defending the Authentication Flow: Device Code Phishing with Selena Larson

Selena Larson, Staff Threat Researcher and Lead, Intelligence Analysis and Strategy at Proofpoint and Host of the DISCARDED podcast, joins host Caleb Tolin to detail the specific mechanics of device code phishing campaigns, revealing how adversaries exploit legitimate communication structures to capture administrative and enterprise access. The discussion centers on the rapid commercialization of cybercrime, highlighting the leak of specialized kits in late 2025 that catalyzed the democratization of sophisticated technical exploits.

What Is BlackSuit Ransomware & How Could It Impact Your Organization?

The BlackSuit ransomware operation surfaced in early April/May 2023. This group engages in multi-faceted extortion, encrypting and exfiltrating data from victims while hosting public data leak sites for those who do not comply with their demands. BlackSuit has notably targeted entities in the healthcare and education sectors, as well as other critical industries. It operates privately, with no public affiliates.
