An improper access control vulnerability exists in the web management interface of PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG. Under specific conditions, unauthenticated remote requests targeting administrative functions can trigger backend actions prior to the completion of access validation checks. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to modify certain system configurations.

RecruitTrap is a sophisticated phishing campaign targeting enterprise credentials by impersonating HR personnel from well-known companies. It uses Browser-in-the-Browser techniques on desktop and full-screen fake login pages on mobile without visible URL indicators. The campaign actively screens victims to focus on corporate accounts, rejecting personal emails. Attackers impersonate multiple global brands and use persistent hosting on Amazon and SEDO networks. Detection of malicious domains is significantly delayed by traditional threat feeds. The campaign facilitates credential harvesting, OAuth token theft, and lateral movement within organizations.

UNC6671 continues conducting data theft extortion operations despite the alleged retirement of the BlackFile brand in May 2026. The threat actor has diversified across multiple extortion fronts including Redact, Pink, Helix, and Falcon. They employ voice phishing tactics, posing as IT helpdesk staff to contact employees on personal mobile devices, directing them to spoofed login portals with Adversary-in-the-Middle infrastructure that intercepts credentials and multi-factor authentication tokens. Once access is established, automated scripts exfiltrate data from enterprise cloud environments including Microsoft 365 and Okta. Infrastructure analysis reveals shared phishing panels, overlapping victim targeting, and connected domains across all brands. Recent targeting has evolved toward financial services, private equity, legal, and professional services sectors. Between January and May 2026, Bitcoin wallet analysis showed approximately $10.69 million USD in ransom payments, with demands typically ranging fr...

A supply chain attack affecting the telnyx Python package on PyPI has been identified. Malicious versions 4.87.1 and 4.87.2 contained embedded credential-harvesting malware. The attack employs a three-stage runtime chain on Linux/macOS using audio steganography for delivery, in-memory execution of a data harvester, and encrypted exfiltration. On Windows, it drops a persistent binary in the Startup folder. The malware uses sophisticated techniques including fileless execution, hybrid encryption, and anti-forensics measures. The threat actor, TeamPCP, demonstrates high operational security and cryptographic awareness. Developers are advised to audit environments, rotate credentials, and check for indicators of compromise.

A sophisticated phishing campaign, likely attributed to Pakistan-linked APT36 (Transparent Tribe), is targeting Indian defense organizations and government entities using spoofed domains. The attackers employ advanced social engineering techniques, including real-time OTP harvesting, to bypass multi-factor authentication and gain access to official email accounts. The campaign uses typo-squatted domains mimicking government platforms to steal credentials. Infrastructure analysis reveals connections to Pakistani IPs and possible staging via Zah Computers. The threat actors create a false sense of legitimacy by referencing trusted authorities and secure communication flows. This coordinated approach highlights the severity of the threat and the attackers' strategic intent, potentially posing significant risks to national security.
