⚡ Weekly Recap: Vercel Hack, Push Fraud, QEMU Abused, New Android RATs Emerge & More

Monday’s recap shows the same pattern in different places. A third-party tool becomes a way in, then leads to internal access. A trusted download path is briefly swapped to deliver malware. Browser extensions act normally while pulling data and running code. Even update channels are used to push payloads. It’s not breaking systems—it’s bending trust.…

To counter cookie theft, Chrome ships device-bound session credentials

Cookie theft follows a well-established pattern. Infostealer malware infiltrates a device, extracts authentication cookies, and exfiltrates them to an attacker-controlled server. Because cookies often have extended lifetimes, attackers can access accounts without passwords, then bundle and sell the stolen credentials. Once malware gains access to a machine, it can read the local files and memory…

How ‘silent probing’ can make your security playbook a liability

For years, cyberattacks followed a familiar pattern: reconnaissance, exploitation, persistence, impact. Defenders built their strategies around that cycle, patching vulnerabilities, monitoring indicators, and working to reduce dwell time. But a quieter shift is underway. Today’s most sophisticated adversaries are using AI to study how organizations defend themselves. They run what we call “silent probing campaigns:”…

The ephemeral infrastructure paradox: Why short-lived systems need stronger identity governance

In my experience leading engineering projects, I have encountered the same pattern repeatedly. We obsess over deployment speed. We measure success in commit velocity and uptime. But we rarely pause to ask the most uncomfortable question in the room: Who actually owns the identities we just spun up? This silence isn’t malicious; it’s structural. We…
