Unit 42 explains how attackers could reregister deleted namespaces on Hugging Face Model Hub to upload malicious models for remote code execution. Understand how this works with four detailed case studies: bit.ly/3VpCChr
A security incident involving the Salesloft Drift integration with Salesforce is the subject of Unit 42's latest Threat Brief. We include our own observations as well as recommendations: bit.ly/4n3l3Q3
We discovered a #fraud campaign using #phishing emails to distribute links to fraudulent shopping sites for luxury goods. The sites use similar page templates and direct payments through PayPal, using different company names on the invoices. Details at bit.ly/4n4ZazW
We're tracking a wave of #vishing attacks targeting IT help desks. Attackers impersonate employees, request multi-factor authentication (#MFA) and reset passwords to access payroll portals, modifying bank account details to redirect salaries. More info at bit.ly/3UUcMC7
A campaign starting in March 2025 exploits CVE-2024-36401, misusing software development kits (SDKs) to earn passive income. We recount the campaign’s shifts over time: bit.ly/3HAx9RS
Misuse of AI services in phishing attacks is leading to campaigns with more convincing lures. Website generators, writing assistants and chatbots are among the top tools being exploited. We explain the impacts of this shift: bit.ly/4oJ9KhH
As a #BrowserExtensionSecurity issue, we should realize unwanted content often hides in plain sight! A #BrowserExtension for a Pokémon cursor seems cute until we realize it’s part of an #adware or #PUP delivery campaign. Details at bit.ly/4mGtMHG
Be mindful of #BrowserExtensionSecurity! A new Chrome #BrowserExtension campaign utilizes an extension's onInstalled event to open post-install "thank you" pages with hidden iframes for suspicious domains, exposing users to #adware and #PUP. Details at bit.ly/4lDRgwr
Calling junior cybersecurity researchers! This tutorial was written with you in mind, especially for those who want to learn to analyze .NET samples. Walk through a complete infection chain of malware and learn to use tools like dnSpy, IDA Pro and x64dbg. bit.ly/3JgXhS6
2025-08-15 (Friday): #LummaStealer infection leads to #SectopRAT (#ArechClient2). Details at bit.ly/45ATcjf
Understand the evolving infection chain of DarkCloud Stealer, starting with phishing emails and culminating in a VB6 payload protected by ConfuserEx. We examine three distinct payloads: bit.ly/4lG5zkd
CVE-2025-32433 is a critical (CVSS 10.0) unauthenticated RCE vulnerability in Erlang/OTP sshd. We discuss its impacts across critical infrastructure and especially operational technology (OT) networks: bit.ly/4maHNgY
A new #smishing campaign targeting the new school season leverages student financial aid-themed lures to redirect victims to compromised domains hosting phishing content collecting credentials, banking, and other sensitive information. More info at bit.ly/4ovXWiR
Unit 42's new Attribution Framework provides a systematic approach to analyzing threat data, moving from activity clusters to named actors with defined confidence levels. See the process at work: bit.ly/4mlPFMt
#AI-powered summary-related Chrome extensions are on the rise, posing serious #DataSecurity risks. We found multiple #BrowserExtensions sending sensitive user data (e.g., email, chat logs) to low-reputation domains. Examples at bit.ly/4maWFvN
We assess with high confidence links between Storm-2603 and activity we track as CL-CRI-1040. Our investigation delves into use of Project AK47: a toolkit that includes ransomware and backdoors. bit.ly/4m1dxVI
From MSAs to dMSAs: Unit 42 traces the evolution of Managed Service Accounts and explains the BadSuccessor attack vector in Windows Server 2025. This article includes discussion of the PoC SharpSuccessor. bit.ly/40S4j5V
Understand the range of threat actors tracked by Unit 42. This includes groups across China, North Korea, Pakistan and Russia. We also cover major cybercrime and ransomware groups, and feature unique findings based on telemetry and incident response cases: bit.ly/4fPBxZB
🎯 Social engineering is evolving. Are you ready? The 2025 Unit 42 Global IR Report reveals how attackers target people, not just tech. Heading to #BHUSA? Visit Booth 3240 to learn more. 📖 Read the report: bit.ly/3J2LdUr
Cloud logging is not just a checkbox. It's foundational for security, compliance and business insights. Understand the nuances of regulatory and data requirements across AWS, Azure and GCP: bit.ly/3TSi0Oc
