Behind the Fake Tax Notice - Part II: ValleyRAT Unmasked

In Part I of this series — “Behind the Fake Tax Notice” — the Foresiet Threat Intelligence Team mapped a multi-country, tax- and invoice-themed phishing network built around hxxps://adresesvip/. That infrastructure, hosted on Alibaba Cloud in Hong Kong, was used to target taxpayers across India, Germany, Malaysia and Japan. The first report documented the lure, the sender and the hosting, but left one question open: what does the campaign actually deliver?

The FBI Just Issued an Alert on TeamPCP. Here's How They Get In

The FBI just issued a FLASH alert on TeamPCP — the group behind a wave of software supply chain attacks that compromised widely-used developer and security tools, harvesting cloud credentials, SSH keys, and Kubernetes secrets at scale. Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley break down how TeamPCP operates with an APT's patience, and the open question the FBI alert doesn't answer: is a nation-state pulling the strings? Full breakdown on The Cyber Resilience Brief.

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.

Managed SOC Services: Your 2026 Selection Guide

The managed security services market is projected to reach US$ 87.9 Billion by 2033, up from US$ 41.3 Billion in 2026 at an 11.4% CAGR according to Persistence Market Research.

BlackMatter Ransomware Explained: Delivery Methods, Tactics, and Targets

Emerging in July 2021, BlackMatter is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) platform that permits the developers of the ransomware to generate income through the actions of their cybercriminal associates, referred to as BlackMatter actors, who utilize it against targets. BlackMatter is potentially a reimagining of DarkSide, another RaaS that remained operational from September 2020 to May 2021.

Payroll Platforms Hold Your Most Sensitive Data - Here's How to Vet Them

Few business systems contain as much sensitive information as payroll software. Employee salaries, bank account details, tax records, home addresses, government identification numbers, benefits information, and employment history are all stored in one place. A single security weakness can expose data that affects not only the business but every employee on the payroll.

A Practical Image-to-Video Prompt System for AI Animation

An image-to-video prompt should direct motion without destroying the strengths of the source image. The model already has information about the subject, composition, and style; the prompt must explain what changes over time and what should remain fixed. This principle applies across product shots, character animation, anime scenes, and flexibleuncensored ai workflows. More adjectives do not necessarily create better video. Clear priorities do.

5-Hour Online Pre-Licensing Course - How Registration, Timing, and ID Verification Actually Work

New York rolled out an online version of its 5-hour pre-licensing course a few years back, and on paper it sounds like the easy option: no classroom, no fixed schedule, just log in and get through the material. In practice, the state built in a set of checks that a lot of first-time applicants never see coming, and a couple of deadlines that do not bend for anyone. None of it is designed to trip people up, but the 5 hour online pre-licensing course runs on rules that reward knowing them in advance and punish finding them out the hard way.
