    The U.S. CISA has added Google Chromium V8 flaw CVE-2025-13223 to its KEV catalog, citing active exploitation for potential code execution. Federal agencies are mandated to patch by December 10, 2025.

    Iran-linked actors are increasingly employing "cyber-enabled kinetic targeting," integrating cyber reconnaissance with real-world physical attacks to support military objectives.

    Sturnus, a new Android banking trojan, bypasses end-to-end encrypted messaging by capturing content directly from device screens after decryption.

    Samourai Wallet founders were imprisoned for laundering over $237 million in criminal funds via their cryptocurrency mixing service.

    CTM360 exposed "HackOnChat," a global WhatsApp hijacking campaign leveraging deceptive authentication portals and social engineering.

    The TamperedChef malvertising campaign uses fake software installers to deliver JavaScript malware for persistence and remote access.

    Sneaky2FA, a Phishing-as-a-Service kit, now integrates the Browser-in-the-Browser attack for more deceptive phishing campaigns.

    Agentic AI systems present a new attack surface, vulnerable to hijacking that could subvert goals and compromise entire networks.

    An international Europol-led operation disrupted $55 million in cryptocurrency services tied to 69 digital piracy sites across 15 countries.

    A Python-based WhatsApp worm is spreading the Eternidade Stealer banking trojan in Brazil through social engineering and IMAP C2.
