AI agents depend on tools, skills, and other agents spread across many teams, organizations, and platforms. These capabilities live in separate systems with their own registries, and an agent working in one environment has limited means to locate and connect to a resource hosted somewhere else. Google addressed this gap with Agentic Resource Discovery, an…

As we noted in our earlier analysis, attackers already know secrets are on your developers’ machines, the only question is whether security teams do. The supply chain attack calendar of 2026 has been relentless. Megalodon backdoored 5,500 GitHub repositories in six hours. TrapDoor spread across npm, PyPI, and Crates.io simultaneously, planting persistence inside AI coding…
Dreame Technology Wet & Dry Vacuum has surpassed 10 million cumulative units shipped worldwide, marking a major milestone in its global growth and reinforcing its position as a…

Inside the labs building frontier AI, a growing share of the coding gets done by the AI itself. These agents write, edit, and run software with light human oversight between steps, and they reach into production infrastructure, research pipelines, and potentially the systems that train and evaluate future models. A new analysis from researchers at…

In this post, I will show you how to actually evaluate a VPN’s security. Walk through almost any VPN homepage and you will be told it is “military-grade,” “ultra-secure,” and “100% private.” Those phrases sound reassuring, but they do not prove much.

[This is a guest diary submitted by Varun Murdula] SUMMARY CASB block policies rely on inspecting TCP traffic. QUIC, the protocol powering HTTP/3, runs over UDP, a protocol most CASBs cannot inspect. The result: Chrome can reach a destination your CASB is supposed to block, and nothing in the logs shows it happened. This article…

A French-speaking attacker broke into a small French automotive business, planted a keylogger, and stole banking and email credentials. Ordinary stuff, until one move near the end. Before his command-and-control server went dark, he installed OpenSSH and Tailscale on a victim’s machine, building a way back in that did not run through the C2 at…

DragonForce hid for months by routing malware traffic through Microsoft Teams infrastructure, masking C2 activity and evading network detection. DragonForce ransomware operators hit a major U.S. services firm and stayed hidden for one to two months by routing their command-and-control traffic through Microsoft’s own Teams relay servers. Symantec’s threat hunters tracked the custom backdoor they…
Researchers have long warned that AI agents could lower the skill floor for offensive cyber operations, and a recent report by OALABS (Open Analysis) researchers bears that out. After recovering and analyzing over 1,000 agent sessions from a compromised server on which an attacker deployed Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex agents, the researchers discovered…
