BitRAT is a potent and versatile Remote Access Trojan (RAT) commonly sold on underground forums. Its popularity stems from a robust feature set and an emphasis on stealth, allowing it to evade detection by hiding command-and-control (C2) communications over seemingly benign protocols. This makes traditional detection methods more challenging. By examining the subtle artifacts it leaves behind, even in encrypted traffic, defenders can expose these elusive threats.

Dependency management tools are software solutions designed to automate and streamline the process of handling external libraries, modules, or packages that a project relies on. These tools help developers specify, install, update, and track dependencies, ensuring that all required components are present and compatible.

VMware migration has become a strategic priority for many managed service providers (MSPs), cloud service providers (CSPs) and hosters. After years of relying on VMware as the foundation for virtualization and hosting services, many providers are reassessing their infrastructure strategy. Licensing changes, cost pressure, uncertainty around partner programs and customer demand for more predictable infrastructure services are pushing providers to evaluate their options.

RSA and ECC, cryptographic algorithms that we’ve all relied on for decades, are vulnerable to the attack of sufficiently advanced quantum computers. Such quantum computers do not exist yet, but they seem to be coming sooner than expected. Luckily, the solution is already available: migrate to ML-KEM encryption and ML-DSA signatures, which are designed to be resistant to quantum attack. They were standardized in 2024 by the U.S.

Here's a genuinely unsettling way to lose control of your laptop in 2026. You clone a normal-looking repo, ask your AI coding assistant to "set it up," and it writes an attacker's SSH key into your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys -- without ever really telling you that's what it did. No memory corruption, no zero-day, nothing clever. Just a file in the repo that wasn't the file it claimed to be. That attack is real, it's this week's news, and I'll walk through it. But the trick underneath is decades old.

Enterprises running Adobe ColdFusion often carry legacy development features forward long after the original use case is gone. Remote Development Services (RDS) is a good example: a convenience feature that lets an IDE talk to a live ColdFusion server, left switched on from an old dev workflow years after anyone remembers why.

Every enterprise deploying AI agents is building on a foundation of third-party MCP servers they don’t control, can’t verify, and barely track. The security conversation keeps focusing on the model – prompt injection, jailbreaks, hallucinations. That’s the wrong place to look. We’ve covered why that framing falls short elsewhere too – see System Prompts Are Not Security Boundaries. Business Logic Graphs Are.

A malicious release of @injectivelabs/sdk-ts, an npm package that pulls around 50,000 weekly downloads, shipped code that records wallet mnemonics and private keys as they are derived and ships them to an attacker-controlled endpoint. The bad version, 1.20.21, was live on npm for under an hour on June 8, 2026 before the maintainer noticed and published a clean fix.

Pentesting made sense when releases happened every few months. A point-in-time assessment could provide an accurate picture of risk for weeks, sometimes months. Today, engineering teams ship continuously. Our State of AI in Pentesting survey of 200 CISOs and 200 engineering leaders, found that 76% deploy significant changes at least weekly, while nearly 40% deploy daily. Yet only 21% validate security on every release. That gap has consequences.

Threat actors are abusing Shop, a legitimate app developed by Shopify, to launch phishing attacks, according to researchers at Gen Digital. Shop is used for making purchases and tracking orders, but threat actors are exploiting the platform to generate in-app notifications for phony invoices.
