Typosquatting | Breaking Cybersecurity News | The Hacker News

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a NuGet typosquat that's unlike the typical information-stealing malware distributed via package registries: usual info-stealers: it's designed to rig live game results on Digitain. The package, named " Newtonsoftt.Json.Net ," masquerades as the Newtonsoft.Json library and is a trojanized fork. Seven versions of the package have been published to the NuGet repository: 11.0.4, 11.0.5, 11.0.7, 11.0.8, 11.0.9, 11.0.10, and 11.0.11. The package has been downloaded about 1,200 times to date. The package has been unlisted by its owner MagicalPuff96, meaning it will not be surfaced via a search on NuGet. However, the artifacts are still available for download from the registry. "The trojan rigs Digitain, an online betting platform, and in later generations, exfiltrates rigged round results to an attacker-controlled server, utilizing the header X-Seq-ApiKey: theperfectheist2025," according to JFrog .

AI-generated lookalike domains are now embedded inside the third-party scripts running on your web properties. Here's why your current stack can't see them, and what detection actually requires. Download the CISO Expert Guide to Typosquatting in the AI Era → TL;DR  Typosquatting is no longer a user problem. Attackers now embed lookalike domains inside legitimate third-party scripts. No mistyped URL required, no server breach needed. AI broke the economics of defense. LLMs generate thousands of convincing domain variants in minutes; full campaign deployment takes under ten. Malicious package uploads jumped 156% last year. Manual vetting is dead. Your security stack can't see this. Firewalls, WAFs, EDR, and CSP have no visibility into what approved scripts do once they execute in the browser. The Trust Wallet attack proved it. $8.5M stolen in 48 hours through a trojanized Chrome extension. No alert fired, not because something failed, but because nothing...
