BlobPhish: The Phantom Phishing Campaign Hiding in Browser Memory

ANY.RUN has observed a sustained surge in a credential-phishing campaign active since 2024. This campaign, dubbed BlobPhish, introduces a sneaky twist: instead of delivering phishing pages via traditional HTTP requests, it generates them directly inside the victim’s browser using blob objects. The result is a phishing payload that lives entirely in memory, leaving little to no trace in logs, caches,…

The endless CISO reporting line debate — and what it says about cybersecurity leadership

It is difficult to understand why, in 2026, we are still debating the reporting line of the chief information security officer (CISO). It is one of the first topics I wrote about in 2015, and after more than two decades of high-profile cyber incidents, sustained regulatory pressure, massive technology investments and the steady elevation of…

Webinar: The IT Leader’s Guide to AI Governance

Chile’s Cybersecurity Framework Law: How SOCs Achieve Compliance and Response Readiness

In Chile, cybersecurity compliance is becoming an operational issue, not just a legal one. Under the new Cybersecurity Framework Law, organizations must show they have real capabilities for threat detection, incident analysis, and response. For many teams, that exposes a serious gap between regulatory expectations and day-to-day security operations.  Key Takeaways  Chile’s Cybersecurity Framework Law…

The need for a board-level definition of cyber resilience

Cyber resilience has become a critical governance concern as organizations face increasingly complex and costly cyber threats. However, recent research reveals that the concept of cyber resilience remains inconsistently defined across regulatory frameworks and in some cases presents contradictory guidance to cross-sector and multinational organizations. This conceptual fragmentation poses a systemic risk for top management…

Secure AI agent access patterns to AWS resources using Model Context Protocol

AI agents and coding assistants interact with AWS resources through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Unlike traditional applications with deterministic code paths, agents reason dynamically, choosing different tools or accessing different data depending on context. You must assume an agent can do anything within its granted entitlements, whether OAuth scopes, API keys, or AWS Identity…

When Trust Becomes a Weapon: Google Cloud Storage Phishing Deploying Remcos RAT

Modern phishing campaigns increasingly abuse legitimate services. Cloud platforms, file-sharing tools, trusted domains, and widely used SaaS applications are now part of the attacker’s toolkit. Instead of breaking trust, attackers borrow it.  This shift creates a dangerous asymmetry. Security controls often whitelist or inherently trust these services, while users are far less likely to question them. The…

Building Phishing Detection That Works: 3 Steps for CISOs 

90% of attacks start with phishing. For CISOs, the real pain begins when the SOC cannot quickly tell whether a suspicious alert is just noise or the start of credential theft, account compromise, malware delivery, or wider business disruption.  Modern phishing campaigns are designed to create exactly that uncertainty. QR codes, redirect chains, CAPTCHAs, phishing kits, and AI-generated lures can all hide the real objective until late…
