French cooperative bank Crédit Mutuel Arkéa was targeted in a cyberattack that enabled fraudulent transactions of up to $133 million, forcing it to respond by suspending certain systems. The bank says that the attacker used its own account to initiate transactions to other banking organizations, but customer assets remain unaffected. Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is a major French banking group with more than 5.8 million members and 211.5 billion euros in assets. Reports about the incident emerged on November 2, initially from blockchain fraud investigator ZachXBT, who warned of a large-scale unauthorized withdrawal from multiple centralized exchange accounts occurring a day earlier. According to the investigator, the attacker may have stolen up to 118 million euros ($133 million) and withdrawn it as USDC and USDT stablecoins.
Scammers are impersonating major brands and celebrities to lure consumers into fake gift card giveaways that collect personal information and trigger unwanted subscriptions. CTM360 reveals how these campaigns use deceptive verification steps and affiliate networks to generate revenue without delivering the promised rewards.
Passwords and API keys that developers typed into commands they approved in Claude Code are sitting in public GitHub repositories, where anyone can read them. When a user selects "Yes, and don't ask again," Anthropic's AI coding assistant can save the command, word-for-word, including the secret, in a project settings file. Software security company Apiiro said yesterday that 1,122 public
WorkOS says an AI-powered hacking agent that breached its internal sales application and accessed customer information was operated by a security researcher who claims the tool escaped its testing environment and unintentionally attacked the company.

OpenAI has revealed GPT-6 Cyber, a new artificial intelligence model that has discovered 81 previously unknown high-severity Firefox vulnerabilities and developed working exploits for 948 distinct Linux kernel flaws. The company announced the model on Thursday, saying it significantly improves on earlier AI models in finding software vulnerabilities, validating their impact, and helping developers create fixes. During security testing, GPT-6 Cyber discovered 81 previously unknown high-severity vulnerabilities in Firefox and helped develop patches, many of which Mozilla has already released. In separate Linux kernel research, the model identified 2,308 potential security flaws, successfully reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities, and developed local privilege escalation exploits for 948 distinct vulnerabilities that could allow an unprivileged user to gain root access.
Cybersecurity professionals are being targeted with infected security projects on GitHub that deploy a backdoor and information stealer malware. The campaign started about two years ago and initially targeted crypto wallet users, but recently the threat actor switched focus and published malicious repositories for automating scans, security testing, and log analysis. Researchers at cybersecurity company Dr. Web found that more than 2,000 Windows systems have been compromised so far. One malicious repository they found is a fake script advertised as a lightweight solution to parse, clean, and format output from the Fscan network scanner. Previous lures included blockchain games, bots, and cheat tools, typically targeting blockchain and game enthusiasts. Dr. Web's investigation found malicious code embedded in Visual Studio project files, Python scripts, and Go source files, hidden behind long stretches of whitespace, an old technique that still proves effective.
Veeam warned customers about boot failures affecting Software Appliance virtual machines (VMs) on hosts with AMD EPYC processors. The company's Software Appliance VMs are pre-configured, Linux-based virtual machines that let admins run the Veeam Backup & Replication backup software suite on Linux devices without manually installing dependencies or configuring the software. To comply with corporate and government security frameworks, the underlying Linux kernel runs integrated health and cryptographic checks (such as jitterentropy health tests) in FIPS mode during early boot. However, as the company explained in a Wednesday advisory, these VMs will fail to boot and will crash with a kernel panic after failing an early-boot FIPS-mode jitterentropy check on some AMD EPYC processors. "A Veeam Software Appliance (Linux-based Veeam Backup & Replication) virtual machine running on a host with an AMD EPYC processor intermittently fails to boot after a reboot, including a reboot that follows an update that installs a new kernel," it said.
Threat actors are attempting to exploit a recently disclosed security flaw impacting OpenSSH that can enable sign-ins to accounts that have no password set, according to Previdian. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-123158 (CVSS score: 8.1) and codenamed SSHole (or *sshole), impacts Linux systems that run OpenSSH on the musl C library with Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) disabled,
OpenAI on Thursday unveiled GPT‑6 Cyber, which it described as a major step forward in security research that brings together stronger cybersecurity capabilities with a step-change improvement in model alignment. The new model is "more capable at finding and fixing vulnerabilities, and far more reliable staying within the boundaries researchers set," OpenAI said. It has classified the model as
