Some weeks in security feel loud. This one feels sneaky. Less big dramatic fireworks, more of that slow creeping sense that too many people are getting way too comfortable abusing things they probably shouldn’t even be touching. There’s a little bit of everything in this one, too. Weird delivery tricks, old problems coming back in slightly worse forms, shady infrastructure doing shady infrastructure things, and the usual reminder that if criminals find a workflow annoying, they’ll just make a new one by Friday. Efficient little parasites. You almost have to respect the commitment. A few of these updates have that nasty “yeah, that tracks” energy. Stuff that sounds niche right up until you picture it landing in a real environment with real users clicking real nonsense because they’re busy and tired and just trying to get through the day. Then it stops being abstract pretty fast. So yeah, this week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin is a solid scroll-befor...

The kernel exploit for two security vulnerabilities used in the recently uncovered Apple iOS exploit kit known as Coruna is an updated version of the same exploit that was used in the Operation Triangulation campaign back in 2023, according to new findings from Kaspersky. "When Coruna was first reported, the public evidence wasn't sufficient to link its code to Triangulation — shared vulnerabilities alone don't prove shared authorship," Boris Larin, principal security researcher at Kaspersky GReAT, told The Hacker News in a statement. "Coruna is not a patchwork of public exploits; it is a continuously maintained evolution of the original Operation Triangulation framework. The inclusion of checks for recent processors like the M3 and newer iOS builds shows that the original developers have actively expanded this codebase. What began as a precision espionage tool is now deployed indiscriminately." Coruna was first documented by Google and iVerify earli...

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new payment skimmer that uses WebRTC data channels as a means to receive payloads and exfiltrate data, effectively bypassing security controls. "Instead of the usual HTTP requests or image beacons, this malware uses WebRTC data channels to load its payload and exfiltrate stolen payment data," Sansec said in a report published this week. The attack, which targeted a car maker's e-commerce website, is said to have been facilitated by PolyShell , a new vulnerability impacting Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce that allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary executables via the REST API and achieve code execution. Notably, the vulnerability has since come under mass exploitation since March 19, 2026, with more than 50 IP addresses participating in the scanning activity. The Dutch security company said it has found PolyShell attacks on 56.7% of all vulnerable stores. The skimmer is designed as a self-executing ...

The alleged administrator of the LeakBase cybercrime forum has been arrested by Russian law enforcement authorities, state media reported Thursday. According to TASS and MVD Media , a news website linked to the Russian Interior Ministry, the suspect is a resident of the city of Taganrog. The suspect is said to have been detained for creating and managing a criminal site that allowed stolen personal databases to be traded since 2021. In addition, technical equipment and other items of evidentiary value were confiscated during a search of the suspect's residence. "The platform hosted hundreds of millions of user accounts, bank details, usernames, and passwords, as well as corporate documents obtained through hacking," said Irina Volk, an official spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. "More than 147,000 users registered on the forum could buy and sell this data, as well as use it to commit fraudulent acts against citizens." LeakBase was...

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new evolution of the GlassWorm campaign that delivers a multi-stage framework capable of comprehensive data theft and installing a remote access trojan (RAT), which deploys an information-stealing Google Chrome extension masquerading as an offline version of Google Docs. "It logs keystrokes, dumps cookies and session tokens, captures screenshots, and takes commands from a C2 server hidden in a Solana blockchain memo," Aikido security researcher Ilyas Makari said in a report published last week. GlassWorm is the moniker assigned to a persistent campaign that obtains an initial foothold through rogue packages published across npm, PyPI, GitHub, and the Open VSX marketplace. In addition, the operators are known to compromise the accounts of project maintainers to push poisoned updates. The attacks are careful enough to avoid infecting systems with a Russian locale and use Solana transactions as a dead drop resolver to fetch the com...
