An active campaign is using stolen GitHub tokens to extract secrets from private repositories. More than 13,500 malicious branches were recovered across over 850 compromised accounts. The attacker plants a workflow that encodes secrets, writes them into a run log, downloads the log through GitHub’s API…
Customers of GMO Internet’s cloud desktop service face possible data theft and unauthorized trading activity. The company shut down the service after discovering unauthorized access and later said information linked to customers and its business appeared online. It warned that 26,739 virtual desktop…
A poisoned LiteLLM release exposed users to credential theft and remote access. The attack began with a master key accidentally published in a public repository in May and removed without being revoked. The attacker later used that key to obtain a privileged GitHub token and compromise additional…
Patient care was disrupted when a cyberattack hit the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. Ambulances were diverted, appointments across more than 30 clinics were canceled, and health sciences classes were called off. Hospitals later reopened, with systems and services returning in phases. An…
Developer credentials and systems can be exposed when AI coding agents interpret a downloaded instruction file as trusted project guidance. Researchers found an AGENTS.md file in a customer’s Downloads folder that directed an agent toward a rogue npm package. They reproduced the technique against OpenAI…
One compromised device could become a route to root access on other servers in a Tailscale network, according to lab findings that Tailscale had not confirmed at publication. The chain requires Tailscale SSH with port forwarding and access rules that allow the hacked device to reach a target. No security…
Customers lost access after Japan’s Onamae.com Desktop Cloud found malware in some server environments and stopped systems across every service plan. The provider listed 26,739 servers as potentially affected, not as a confirmed infection count. Information inside customer servers may have been viewed…
At least 600 organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors have been affected by SafePay ransomware since August 2024. The group enters through exposed credentials, brute-force attempts, VPN access, and known edge-device weaknesses. It steals data, encrypts systems, and pressures victims…
Customer applications may be exposed after suspicious activity reached Railway systems that store environment variables. The company said an unauthorized third party may have accessed encrypted variables and obtained some decrypted contents, including possible API, database, registry, and cloud…
Cloud intrusions moved from initial targeting to privileged access in less than three hours in some attacks attributed to China-aligned Storm-0940. The group used the ARTEX AI penetration-testing framework and stolen ConnectWise Cloud Backup credentials to target Microsoft 365 environments. Activity…
Developer and cloud credentials were put at risk when attackers compromised LiteLLM’s release pipeline. Version 1.107.0 on PyPI and affected Docker tags carried malware across Windows, Linux, and macOS. The payload ran during Python startup, stole secrets and environment data, and could fetch additional…
Machine-learning workloads could execute attacker-controlled code and expose cloud credentials because of an unsafe SageMaker Python SDK default. The SDK generated a predictable storage bucket name without confirming that the caller’s account owned the bucket. An attacker who created the bucket first…
Customer metadata and operational records may create downstream risk after attackers accessed PingCAP systems using stolen service-account credentials. PingCAP said the access lasted from September 9 to October 7 and included copied company data and source code. It found no evidence that customer…
Customers may need to replace credentials after unauthorized access to Railway systems that store environment variables. Potentially exposed values include API keys, database passwords, and private registry credentials, including some decrypted data. Railway paused deployments during the investigation and…
Attackers are chaining four Plex Media Server weaknesses to obtain administrator tokens and run code with elevated privileges. Exploitation reports began on October 17, with early activity targeting honeypots to deploy a cryptocurrency miner. CISA warned that attackers are actively exploiting the…
Self-managed GitLab servers could be taken over if administrators delay a new critical patch. Under certain conditions, an unauthenticated user could execute arbitrary code by submitting a specially crafted regular expression. The affected range extends across many GitLab releases beginning with version…
Customer workloads stopped after Japan’s Onamae Desktop Cloud began shutting down servers to contain an intrusion. An unauthorized party installed malicious programs in customer environments, potentially affecting up to 26,739 servers. Data stored on those systems may have been exposed, although no misuse…
Customer access and service availability were disrupted after attackers used a ConnectWise supply-chain path to reach Microsoft 365 environments. Microsoft attributed the activity to China-aligned Storm-0940, which used the ARTEX agentic AI framework to accelerate scanning, password spraying, and OAuth…
More than 600 critical infrastructure organizations worldwide have been affected by SafePay ransomware since August 2024, according to a joint government warning. The group uses exposed credentials, password attacks, phishing and weaknesses in internet-facing edge devices. It can enter through VPN…
Eight compromised eMudhra intermediate certificates created a path to forge certificates for legitimate domains. Their private keys were so weak that researchers could recover them by testing only 256 possible values. The certificates were revoked, and major browsers and operating systems began blocking…
WordPress sites were backdoored through valid UpdraftCentral management keys after TeamUpdraft detected unauthorized access to its infrastructure. The vendor believes its customer database was accessed and replaced potentially affected keys and credentials. Researchers said attackers used stolen keys to…
Developer systems and AI services may have executed malware after installing LiteLLM 1.107.0. All seven PyPI wheel files were compromised, and affected images also reached container registries. The payload used Python startup hooks, allowing an unrelated Python command to trigger credential theft. PyPI…
Organizations are facing intrusion campaigns in which AI agents can choose actions and execute commands at machine speed. CrowdStrike documented four previously unreported actors whose exposed frameworks showed different levels of automation and autonomy. Reported victims included healthcare, government…
Organizations may already have unauthorized VPN sessions created through a patched GlobalProtect authentication bypass. Ransomware operators including Qilin and Inc have been linked to exploitation, while public reporting also connects Settra activity. Attackers used the access to bypass multifactor…
