An unreleased Anthropic AI model found security flaws in Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux and chained them into working proof-of-concept exploits, the company said in its latest report. The exploits were built in the lab after the model was prompted, not seen in any real attack, and Anthropic reported every flaw to the vendor first, so all of them are already patched. One proof of
The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) on Tuesday announced the seizure of a domain associated with a bulletproof hosting provider (BPH) named Virtualine. The move was in response to the service being used to commit and facilitate prolific criminal activity, including "the advertisement of sexually explicit images of minors, the intentional disclosure of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions
Japan's GMO Internet Group is offering up to $1 million in total for tips that help catch the attackers who breached its Onamae.com Desktop Cloud service, after refusing to pay an extortion demand. The reward program opened on October 28 and pays only if a tip helps lead to an arrest or an international wanted notice. The service hosts Windows desktops used for FX trading,
The critical Oracle PeopleSoft bug that ShinyHunters has exploited since May is not one flaw but three chained together, the researchers who reported it said this week. Oracle patched all three under a single identifier, CVE-2026-35273, in June. Its root is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) that reaches an internal management interface because PeopleSoft trusts its own loopback address
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday added two vulnerabilities impacting Adobe Commerce and Magento, and Google's Brotli decoder library to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerabilities are listed below - CVE-2026-111497 (CVSS score: 9.2) - An unchecked return value vulnerability in
OpenAI confirmed GPT-6.1 Terra is safer overall than some of its older models, but its safety testing also found other problems. According to OpenAI, GPT-6.1 Terra showed higher rates of exfiltration, destructive actions, and attempts to bypass restrictions than GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI performed simulations across approximately 48,690 matched tasks and found that Terra received 22 severity-3-or-higher flags, or 0.045%. For comparison, GPT-6 Sol received 38, while GPT-5.6 Sol received 61. "GPT-6.1 Terra received approximately 42% fewer severity level 3 or higher flags than GPT-6 Sol and 64% fewer than GPT-5.6 Sol," OpenAI noted in its system card. However, that is no longer the case when you compare Terra with other newer models on less severe behaviors. "Relative to GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra, we observed higher rates of flags for concealing uncertainty, circumventing restrictions, exfiltration, other misalignment, destructive action and inbound prompt injection," OpenAI explained.
A credit card skimming group reportedly compromised a shared analytics script used by e-commerce platform Convertr to steal shoppers’ payment data during checkout. The campaign was identified on October 24 and has been attributed to a Brazilian gang, active since at least July 2024, that focuses on infecting online stores running Magento, OpenCart, and WooCommerce platforms. Convertr is a Brazilian e-commerce platform that powers online stores and checkout systems for dozens of major fashion brands in the country, handling R$2 billion ($370M) in sales. E-commerce security firm Sansec says that the attacker modified the Plausible tracker file hosted on a self-managed server operated by Convertr. Ecommerce cybersecurity company Sansec says that the attacker modified the tracker file on a self-hosted server for Plausible, an open source alternative to Google Analytics, managed by Convertr.
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of three cyber attacks targeting organizations in Japan in which artificial intelligence (AI) was a key element, either in the driving seat or to assist a human operator. TrendAI, which analyzed three exposed server environments used by threat actors to conduct the malicious cyber operations, described them as distinct from previously published
Microsoft has released out-of-band (OOB) Windows updates to remove trust in certificates tied to compromised eMudhra certificate authority keys, protecting systems that do not receive automatic certificate trust updates. The KB5134133 update for Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, and 26H2 and the KB5134125 update for Windows 10 versions 21H2 and 22H2 were released on October 26. The updates are for systems without Internet access, devices that cannot access Microsoft's certificate-update service, and those where automatic Certificate Trust List (CTL) updates have been disabled. The updates were released after the discovery of eight eMudhra intermediate certificate authority private keys that were so weak they could be recovered almost instantly. All eight keys were generated in April 2025 and had values smaller than 256, allowing anyone to recover them by testing just 256 possible numbers.
Attackers are increasingly abusing legitimate IT tools, Microsoft 365 sessions, and everyday workflows to compromise businesses without triggering traditional defenses. Huntress Labs ranks the threats hitting organizations hardest, highlighting which attack techniques deserve immediate attention and which remain emerging risks.
