6 Browser-Based Threats Security Teams Must Address Today

The frequency and sophistication of attacks targeting web browsers have surged dramatically in recent years. These “browser-based attacks” exploit the fact that browsers serve as the primary gateway to business applications, data, and cloud services, making them a prime target for threat actors.Understanding Browser-Based AttacksAt their core, browser-based attacks are not about compromising the browser itself—they aim to infiltrate the applications and services accessed through it. Modern attackers focus on third-party SaaS platforms, where sensitive business data resides, and leverage compromised credentials or session tokens to extract information or conduct ransomware attacks.The shift to decentralized cloud applications and remote work [...]

Phishing Campaigns Exploit RMM Tools for Covert Remote Access

Security researchers are warning about a wave of phishing campaigns that deploy remote monitoring and management (RMM) software to gain unauthorized access to victim machines. According to a recent report from Red Canary, attackers are increasingly abusing legitimate IT administration tools such as ITarian (Comodo), PDQ, SimpleHelp, and Atera to bypass defenses and establish persistence. Multiple Phishing Lures Observed The campaigns use several social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading RMM installers disguised as trusted applications or documents: Why RMM Abuse Is Dangerous Although RMM software is widely used for legitimate IT administration, in the wrong hands it can [...]

Apple Raises the Stakes for Spyware Makers with New iPhone Security Feature

Amid the buzz of new product launches, Apple quietly unveiled a security upgrade for its latest devices — the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air — that could dramatically shift the balance in the fight against spyware. The feature, called Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE), is designed to block one of the most exploited classes of vulnerabilities: memory corruption bugs. Apple explained that mercenary spyware campaigns, whether targeting iOS, Windows, or Android, share a common trait: they all rely heavily on memory safety flaws. By addressing this, MIE aims to cut off one of the most effective avenues attackers use to deploy [...]

AI-Powered “Villager” Pentest Framework Hits 11K PyPI Downloads, Raising Abuse Worries

A newly released AI-driven penetration-testing framework called Villager has amassed nearly 11,000 downloads on the Python Package Index (PyPI), prompting security researchers to warn that the tool — originally promoted as a red-teaming automation solution — could be repurposed by attackers to lower the barrier to advanced intrusions. Researchers attribute Villager to a group or company linked to the domain cyberspike[.]top (reportedly under Changchun Anshanyuan Technology Co., Ltd.). The package first appeared on PyPI in late July 2025 and was uploaded by a user with prior capture-the-flag experience. Villager combines AI orchestration, Kali tooling, and automated containerized environments to streamline [...]

Attackers Adopt Novel LOTL Techniques to Evade Detection

Threat actors are increasingly chaining living-off-the-land (LOTL) techniques and abusing less obvious file types to slip past detection tools, according to HP Wolf Security’s Q2 2025 Threat Insights analysis. Security teams are now facing campaigns that combine multiple, often uncommon legitimate binaries and creative payload delivery methods — making malicious activity look innocuous and raising the bar for detection and response. HP+1 Chaining benign tools to build stealthy attacks Rather than dropping standard remote access trojans (RATs) directly, adversaries are stitching together lightweight scripts and native Windows utilities to achieve the same outcomes more stealthily. These “chains” typically move execution [...]
