AI coding assistants have a habit of making things up. Ask one to fetch a popular tool, and it will sometimes hand back a real-sounding name for a project that does not exist. New research, which its authors call HalluSquatting, turns that habit into an attack: work out the fake namesRead More »New HalluSquatting Attack Could Trick AI Coding Assistants Into Installing Botnet Malware
Ubiquiti has shipped updates to address multiple critical security flaws impacting UniFi Connect, UniFi Talk, UniFi Access, UniFi Protect, and UniFi OS that could result in privilege escalation and arbitrary command execution.

Join the webinar as we break down why email-layer defenses alone can’t keep pace with the modern phishing ecosystem. The post Webinar Today: Why Email Security Keeps Failing appeared first on SecurityWeek.
A recent EvilTokens campaign targeting businesses across the US and Europe is exposing a new email security blind spot. This “ghost phishing” technique keeps the malicious page hidden until it decrypts and comes to life inside the victim’s browser. For security leaders, the risk is clear: traditional URL checks mayRead More »New Ghost Phishing Wave Is Breaking Traditional Email Security
A new banking fraudulent operation is targeting customers of Mexican banks, fintech, payment processors, and cryptocurrency exchanges using ClickFix lures. The activity cluster, tracked by Elastic Security Labs under the moniker REF6045, involves infecting victims through fake CAPTCHA verification pages that deceive them into running a malicious command that installsRead More »SCMBANKER Malware Uses ClickFix Lures to Target Mexican Banking Users
A cybersecurity startup dangling millions of dollars to acquire zero-day security vulnerabilities in popular software is run by a pair of far-right conspiracy theorists and convicted felons whose most recent ventures included fake intelligence companies and a now-defunct AI-based lobbying platform they operated under assumed names. The X/Twitter account IRISRead More »Felons, Fraudsters Flog Offensive Cybersecurity Startup
The “Rogue Agent” vulnerability could have enabled attackers to silently manipulate AI conversations, exfiltrate data, and compromise every Dialogflow CX agent within the same Google Cloud project. The post Google Dialogflow CX Bug Allowed Attackers to Hijack AI Conversations appeared first on SecurityWeek.
New research shows that a signed Git commit’s hash is not the one-of-a-kind name that much of the software world assumes it to be. Given any signed commit, someone without the signing key can mint a second commit with the same files, author, and date, and a valid signature, GitHubRead More »GitHub ‘Verified’ Commits Can Be Rewritten Into New Hashes Without Breaking Signatures
For years, account takeover (ATO) followed a predictable script. Attackers bought stolen credentials in bulk, ran them through automated tools, and waited for matches. Credential stuffing was cheap, scalable, and for defenders, relatively well understood. That era is ending. Not because attackers gave up, but because the front door finallyRead More »The Verification Step Is the New ATO Battleground in 2026
An AI coding assistant that refuses to answer a dangerous request in its chat box can answer it anyway if the same request is broken into small, ordinary-looking steps inside a code editor. That is the finding of a new study of GitHub Copilot by researchers Abhishek Kumar and Carsten Maple. TheRead More »GitHub Copilot Refuses Harmful Requests in Chat, Then Writes Them in Code
