PyPI, npm, and AI Tools Exploited in Malware Surge Targeting DevOps and Cloud Environments

Jun 16, 2025 Malware / DevOps
Cybersecurity researchers from  SafeDep and Veracode detailed a number of malware-laced npm packages that are designed to execute remote code and download additional payloads. The packages in question are listed below - eslint-config-airbnb-compat (676 Downloads) ts-runtime-compat-check (1,588 Downloads) solders (983 Downloads) @mediawave/lib (386 Downloads) All the identified npm packages have since been taken down from npm, but not before they were downloaded hundreds of times from the package registry.  SafeDep's analysis of eslint-config-airbnb-compat found that the JavaScript library has ts-runtime-compat-check listed as a dependency, which, in turn, contacts an external server defined in the former package ("proxy.eslint-proxy[.]site") to retrieve and execute a Base64-encoded string. The exact nature of the payload is unknown. "It implements a multi-stage remote code execution attack using a transitive dependency to hide the malicious code,"...

ThreatsDay Bulletin: $290M DeFi Hack, macOS LotL Abuse, ProxySmart SIM Farms +25 New Stories

Apr 23, 2026 Hacking News / Cybersecurity News
You scroll past one incident and see another that feels familiar, like it should have been fixed years ago, but it still works with small changes. Same bugs. Same mistakes. The supply chain is messy. Packages you did not check are stealing data, adding backdoors, and spreading. Attacking the systems behind apps is easier than breaking the apps themselves. The exploits are simple but still work, giving attackers easy access. AI tools are also part of the problem now. They trust bad input and take real actions, which makes the damage bigger. Then there are quieter issues. Apps take data they should not. Devices behave in strange ways. Attackers keep testing what they can get away with. No noise. Just ongoing damage. Here is the list for this week’s ThreatsDay Bulletin. State-backed crypto heist North Korea Likely Behind KelpDAP $290M Crypto Heist Inter-blockchain communication protocol LayerZero has revealed that North Korean thr...

React2Shell Vulnerability Actively Exploited to Deploy Linux Backdoors

React2Shell Vulnerability Actively Exploited to Deploy Linux Backdoors

Dec 16, 2025 Vulnerability / Network Security
The security vulnerability known as React2Shell is being exploited by threat actors to deliver malware families like KSwapDoor and ZnDoor, according to findings from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 and NTT Security. "KSwapDoor is a professionally engineered remote access tool designed with stealth in mind," Justin Moore, senior manager of threat intel research at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, said in a statement. "It builds an internal mesh network, allowing compromised servers to talk to each other and evade security blocks. It uses military-grade encryption to hide its communications and, most alarmingly, features a 'sleeper' mode that lets attackers bypass firewalls by waking the malware up with a secret, invisible signal." Moore told The Hacker News that the backdoor has been identified in two distinct regions and industries, and that it's likely the work of Chinese nation-state actors, based on the malware's code structure and functional overlap w...
Researchers Share New Insights Into RIG Exploit Kit Malware's Operations

Researchers Share New Insights Into RIG Exploit Kit Malware's Operations

Feb 27, 2023 Threat Intelligence
The RIG exploit kit (EK) touched an all-time high successful exploitation rate of nearly 30% in 2022, new findings reveal. "RIG EK is a financially-motivated program that has been active since 2014," Swiss cybersecurity company PRODAFT  said  in an exhaustive report shared with The Hacker News. "Although it has yet to substantially change its exploits in its more recent activity, the type and version of the malware they distribute constantly change. The frequency of updating samples ranges from weekly to daily updates." Exploit kits are programs used to distribute malware to large numbers of victims by taking advantage of known security flaws in commonly-used software such as web browsers. The fact that  RIG EK  runs as a service model means threat actors can financially compensate the RIG EK administrator for installing malware of their choice on victim machines. The RIG EK operators primarily employ malvertising to ensure a high infection rate and large-scale...

Monday is back, and the weekend’s backlog of chaos is officially hitting the fan. We are tracking a critical zero-day that has been quietly living in your PDFs for months, plus some aggressive state-sponsored meddling in infrastructure that is finally coming to light. It is one of those mornings where the gap between a quiet shift and a full-blown incident response is basically non-existent. The variety this week is particularly nasty. We have AI models being turned into autonomous exploit engines, North Korean groups playing the long game with social engineering, and fileless malware hitting enterprise workflows. There is also a major botnet takedown and new research proving that even fiber optic cables can be used to eavesdrop on your private conversations. Skim this before your next meeting.

This week, the shadows moved faster than the patches. While most teams were still triaging last month’s alerts, attackers had already turned control panels into kill switches, kernels into open doors, and open-source pipelines into silent delivery systems. The game has shifted from breach to occupation. They’re living inside SaaS sessions, pushing code with trusted commits, and scaling operations like legitimate businesses — except their product is chaos. And the underground is getting uncomfortably professional. Here’s the full weekly cybersecurity recap: ⚡ Threat of the Week cPanel Flaw Comes Under Attack —A critical flaw in cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) has come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-41940, could result in an authentication bypass and allow remote attackers to gain elevated control of the control panel.

⚡ Weekly Recap: SharePoint 0-Day, Chrome Exploit, macOS Spyware, NVIDIA Toolkit RCE and More

Jul 21, 2025 Enterprise Security / Zero Day
Even in well-secured environments, attackers are getting in—not with flashy exploits, but by quietly taking advantage of weak settings, outdated encryption, and trusted tools left unprotected. These attacks don’t depend on zero-days. They work by staying unnoticed—slipping through the cracks in what we monitor and what we assume is safe. What once looked suspicious now blends in, thanks to modular techniques and automation that copy normal behavior. The real concern? Control isn’t just being challenged—it’s being quietly taken. This week’s updates highlight how default settings, blurred trust boundaries, and exposed infrastructure are turning everyday systems into entry points. ⚡ Threat of the Week Critical SharePoint Zero-Day Actively Exploited (Patch Released Today) — Microsoft has released fixes to address two security flaws in SharePoint Server that have come under active exploitation in the wild to breach dozens of organizations across the world.
