Payroll Pirates: Strange New Tides in Business Email Compromise

Arctic Wolf is tracking an ongoing Microsoft 365 phishing campaign affecting healthcare, education, manufacturing, government, professional services, and other sectors across the United States, Canada, and Europe. In July 2026, we observed hundreds of organizations being targeted by email, with successful intrusions identified across a broad range of environments.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk Vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-28323 and CVE-2026-28299

On July 30th, 2026, SolarWinds released fixes for a critical Authentication-Bypass vulnerability in Web Help Desk (WHD) tracked as CVE-2026-28323, and a related high-severity Denial-of-Service vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-28299. Although no active exploitation has been observed yet, WHD is commonly internet-facing and the authentication bypass requires no credentials, making it a likely target once exploit code becomes available.

Active Supply Chain Attack on npm Packages (keyv, cacheable): Immediate Mitigation Required

A sophisticated supply chain attack has actively compromised multiple npm packages, including keyv, cacheable, cacheable-request, flat-cache, file-entry-cache, and possible related adapters. Attackers took control of a popular maintainer’s npm account on or before August 4, 2026, and began publishing trojanized package versions containing a preinstall hook (setup.mjs) as a loader.

Defense at Machine Speed: How Arctic Wolf Built the Aurora Agentic SOC on AWS

Avni Wala, Principal Developer – Arctic Wolf Laura Ellis, SVP Artificial Intelligence – Arctic Wolf Merin Eralil, Security Partner Solutions Architect – AWS Tim Sitze, Solutions Architect – AWS AI didn’t just make defenders faster. It made attackers faster too. The moment both sides got access to the same speed, speed stopped being the advantage. With speed no longer separating attackers from defenders, the deciding factor moved somewhere else.

Introducing the Cyber AI Readiness Accelerator: Outpace Your Adversary with Exposure Management

AI has overwhelmingly changed how organizations build and grow. It’s also changed how attackers find and exploit exposures and weaknesses. The window between “exposure exists” and “exposure is exploited” is shrinking, and most security teams already feel it.

CVE-2026-18556 / CVE-2026-18577: N-able N-central Authentication Bypass Vulnerabilities Require Immediate Patching

Threat actors are actively exploiting two high-severity authentication bypass vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-18556 and CVE-2026-18577, in N-able N-Central, a widely deployed remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform used by MSPs and enterprise IT teams. N-able began investigating anomalous activity on July 31 and released an emergency hotfix (2026.3.1.7) on August 2, 2026, to remediate both vulnerabilities.

Super Instinct Meets Super AI | Arctic Wolf Aurora

Attackers are using AI to move faster, scale broader, and automate attacks at machine speed, but no one wants fully autonomous AI making high-stakes decisions unchecked. There's a better way: Super Instinct meets Super AI. Meet the Aurora Agentic SOC, the world's largest commercial agentic SOC, built on the Aurora Superintelligence Platform. The completely new operating model pairs human instinct with AI-powered security operations to outperform human-only and AI-only approaches alike.

Scale, Trust, and Value: How the Aurora Agentic SOC Delivers for Customers

AI didn’t just make defenders faster. It made attackers faster too. The moment both sides got access to the same speed, speed stopped being the advantage. With speed no longer separating attackers from defenders, the deciding factor moved somewhere else. Ask a CISO what’s actually kept agentic security out of reach, and it comes down to this: they can’t afford to build it, and even if they could, they’d struggle to trust it. Neither half of that problem outweighs the other.
