The technique assumes that an operator already has code execution on the Windows host and does not involve
The ShinyHunters extortion group stole personal information from 1.6 million RingCentral accounts after hacking the company in July, according to the data breach notification service Have I Been Pwned.

"We have not seen any new unauthorized activity since taking these remediation efforts. To date, this incident has affected data for a limited portion of RingCentral customers, and we are communicating with affected customers directly," it noted.

The China-linked threat actor known as Jewelbug has been observed carrying out cyber espionage operations targeting governments and militaries, while simultaneously engaging in cryptocurrency fraud. "Both missions are administered from a single control panel, XG-Web, a browser-centric remote-access and information-stealing framework that turns a victim's browser into a full remote-control
Threat actors are acquiring expired domains to inherit website traffic and reputation to redirect victims to scams and malware on a large scale. DNS threat intelligence firm Infoblox has given the name dropcatch domains to those that get a second chance, where an expired domain becomes available for registration and is then snapped up by another party. During the first half of 2026, 50,400

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new macOS-oriented, Rust-based information stealer called AmnesiaStealer that's capable of hijacking Chromium web browsers to steal session data. The multi-stage stealer is spread via a counterfeit GitHub download page titled "Download for macOS" and claims to be from a verified publisher. The page employs a ClickFix-style lure that
A new Android NFC relay malware called WindRelay is being used alongside the SpyNote remote administration tool (RAT) to steal card data and send it to attackers in real time. In an incident investigated by the cybersecurity company Group-IB, a fraudster impersonated a bank employee and called the victim under the pretense of a problem with their payment card. During the call, the threat actor instructed the victim to sideload the SpyNote RAT disguised as a legitimate app and grant it Accessibility Service permissions, giving the attacker remote access to the Android device. To add credibility, the attacker personalized the malicious app label with the victim's name. After gaining remote access to the device through SpyNote, the attacker installed WindRelay without further interaction with the victim and used the banking app to take out a loan in the victim’s name.
Attempts to exploit a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-71362) in Adobe's Commerce and Magento e-commerce platforms have been detected, potentially allowing attackers to hijack customer accounts. The flaw is described as an incorrect authorization vulnerability that could be leveraged to "gain elevated access to sensitive resources" without authentication and is one of the seven issues that Adobe addressed in a security update yesterday. Although the software vendor states in the advisory that it is not aware of exploits in the wild for any of the fixed flaws, eCommerce security company Sansec says that its Shield web application firewall (WAF) is already blocking CVE-2026-71362 exploitation attempts. According to Sansec, exploiting the vulnerability requires "no existing account, administrator privileges or user interaction."
