ANY.RUN researchers traced a US-focused CSuite phishing campaign across 351 sandbox analyses, with 51% of submissions coming from the United States. Technology, manufacturing, government, and consulting organizations showed the highest exposure. By combining Microsoft 365 session theft with remote-access tool deployment, CSuite can turn a phishing incident into broader account compromise, fraud
Two former members of the United States Air Force were sentenced to a combined 189 months in federal prison for their roles in a multi-year series of business email compromise (BEC) scams and phishing campaigns. According to court documents, 25-year-old Chijioke Timothy Odimegwu and 26-year-old Harafat Mogaji carried out these attacks while stationed at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. They stole victims' employee email credentials in spamming and phishing campaigns. The defendants then used "spoofed" email addresses that mimicked business partners' emails, along with the credentials, to redirect payments to accounts controlled by accomplices in the United States and abroad. Odimegwu and Mogaji also made financial transactions without the victims' knowledge using their stolen financial information (e.g., account information, personal identification numbers, and credit and debit card numbers) and additional data bought from their partners in crime.
Identity governance helps control who should have access, but periodic reviews alone may not reveal attacks as they happen. tenfold Software explains how real-time identity telemetry can help security teams investigate suspicious activity before it escalates.
Infostealers are exposing corporate AI accounts, sessions and API keys, giving attackers access to sensitive data, compute and connected systems. SOCRadar analyzed stealer log data from the last 90 days and found 482 companies with exposed AI accounts and credentials. Of those, 295 appeared in active logs during that period, suggesting the exposure is recent rather than the result of historical cleanup. Together, these companies account for 5,434 stealer log records linked to 1,500 distinct corporate email addresses. The number that really stands out is the ChatGPT figure. A captured ChatGPT or OpenAI session appeared at 358 of the 482 companies, accounting for roughly 90% of all records in the study. Other platforms, including Zapier, Notion, Hugging Face, Replit, Lovable and ElevenLabs, were far behind. This doesn’t necessarily point to a security problem with OpenAI. It says more about how employees use AI at work. Many people simply signed up for ChatGPT with a work email and used it on a personal device, often outside company policies and without IT teams even knowing it was happening. Claude and Gemini barely appear in the data, and SOCRadar is explicit about what that means and what it doesn’t. The researchers read the absence as a shadow-AI signal, not evidence that those platforms are safer to steal from. Anthropic demonstrated that in late August when infostealer malware started hijacking Claude sessions to drain paid usage, forcing a company-wide sign-out, payment method removal, and fraud refunds. Users noticed on Reddit when their usage limits “refilled and then drained” overnight. Claude sessions are targeted the moment they exist in enough volume; there are just fewer of them in corporate environments today. A stolen AI login is categorically different from a stolen password, and the report makes a clear case for why the industry needs to treat it that way. “A stolen cookie is a live session. As Okta’s Jeremy Kirk put it, “session tokens and API keys are sought specifically by threat actors because it is often possible to replay those secrets and bypass credential-based authentication.”” reads the report published by SOCRadar. “Rotating the password alone leaves the intruder signed in.” That quote comes from Okta researcher Jeremy Kirk, cited in the report after Okta’s team pulled a 7 GB stealer dump off Telegram and found thousands of still-replayable tokens inside, including two dozen valid API keys for major AI providers. Rotating the password after a credential theft doesn’t help if the active session cookie is still valid. The attacker stays logged in regardless. The conversation history inside a compromised AI account creates a different kind of breach. Employees often paste source code, customer data, contracts and unreleased plans into AI prompts without thinking of it as data leaving the company. But once an attacker takes over the session, they can access that entire history without ever breaking into the company’s internal systems. The AI account has effectively become part of the company’s corporate memory, and the stolen session provides access to it. API keys add a financial risk on top of the data exposure. During July, August and September 2026, underground forums were openly offering Claude API keys, ChatGPT cookies from paid and Pro accounts, and Cursor sessions, in some cases with money-back guarantees. This fuels a type of abuse known as LLMjacking: attackers steal keys from notes, configuration files or workspace settings and use them to run AI workloads at the victim’s expense, or resell the access at a discount. The victim gets the bill. The attacker gets the computing power. “Keys copied into a notes app or a workspace settings page get lifted with everything else, then billed to the victim or resold. Underground vendors sell discounted access to Claude, Gemini and Cursor accounts and money-back guarantees.” states the report. Automation platforms make the exposure worse. A stolen Zapier session carries standing authorization into CRM systems, email, and file storage. An attacker with access can build a workflow that exfiltrates data on a schedule, from a trusted vendor IP address, without any further credential theft required. The sector breakdown is worth noting. Technology firms are the largest group at 144 companies and 40% of all records, which matters because those companies hold downstream client data too. But industrials, financial services, healthcare, retail, and energy all appear in force. Agent and automation exposure, the category that carries an employee’s authorization into other systems, concentrates specifically in healthcare, financial services, and technology, which are exactly the sectors least able to absorb that kind of lateral movement. All of this is happening while the AI industry debates frontier safety risks, autonomous agent swarms, and the pace of development. That conversation is real and worth having. This report is about something more immediate and considerably more actionable: You don’t need an autonomous swarm to lose your corporate memory. One employee, one unmanaged laptop, one saved ChatGPT password and a commodity infostealer, widely available in Telegram channels since 2022, can be enough. The controls recommended in the report are straightforward. Put AI platforms behind single sign-on, use short-lived sessions and rotate refresh tokens so stolen cookies expire quickly. Limit and regularly rotate API keys, and flag activity from unusual locations or outside normal working hours. If an employee shows up in a stealer log, treat it as an endpoint security incident, not simply a password reset. And find shadow AI accounts first: you can’t rotate credentials or secure accounts you don’t even know exist. Anthropic’s own response to the August incident is the template the report points to: the company didn’t just advise a password change, it invalidated sessions, removed payment methods attackers were abusing, and notified affected users that their machines were compromised. That last step is the difference between a data feed and an actual fire alarm.

Researchers found more than 16,000 misconfigured Supabase databases exposing readable tables with personally identifiable information, passwords, or authentication tokens. Based on the analysis of table schemas, researchers at cyber risk management company UpGuard believe that a very small set of the exposed information includes credit card data. Supabase is an open-source development platform built around PostgreSQL that provides developers with a range of backend services to build and launch apps and websites faster. The service has become increasingly popular among developers using artificial intelligence tools to build projects, with AI-assisted development accounting for more than 60% of newly created databases. UpGuard researchers analyzed a dataset of around 300,000 domains that showed signs of using Supabase and checked for a 'users' table. While some queries returned a page from the database, others hinted that the 'users' table did not exist, but a table with another name was accessible.
A former U.S. Army soldier has been sentenced to 70 months in prison for hacking and extorting at least 10 U.S. technology and telecommunications companies between April 2023 and December 2024. 21-year-old Cameron John Wagenius (also known online as 'kiberphant0m' and 'cyb3rph4nt0m' ) was arrested in Texas in December 2024. He pleaded guilty in February 2025 to hacking AT&T and Verizon after being charged on two counts of unlawfully transferring confidential phone records, and in July 2025 to multiple counts of aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and extortion related to computer fraud. According to court documents, while on active duty with the U.S. Army, Wagenius and his accomplices stole login credentials for the victim's networks using the SSH Brute hacking tool he helped develop. They also used Telegram to transfer stolen credentials and plan their attacks.
What is IAM for AI agents? AI agents authenticate, invoke tools, and act across enterprise systems with delegated authority. IAM for AI Agents is the identity-control architecture that governs those actors. This guide covers the limits of conventional provisioning, the components that matter, how to evaluate framework choices, and what runtime evidence proves an agent behaved as intended.
A domain used as harmless placeholder text showed up in roughly 1,700 repositories. Then somebody registered it and started serving malicious lures. That is the kind of week this was: forgotten assumptions turning into live attack surface. Elsewhere, weak service accounts, old bugs, exposed systems, phishing kits, and strangely easy exploit paths kept doing useful work for attackers. Nothing
AI agents are moving into production faster than security teams can govern them. They are connecting to apps, handling data, calling APIs, and acting across business systems—often without the same controls applied to human users. According to Okta’s Global CISO Insights 2026 report, only 47% of CISOs are confident they can identify every AI agent in their environment. Even among those who feel
A Kosovar national has pleaded guilty to operating Rydox, a large illegal online marketplace that sold stolen personal information, login credentials, credit card details, and cybercrime tools. Kosovo law enforcement and Albania's Special Anti-Corruption Body (SPAK) arrested 28-year-old Ardit Kutleshi and two other Rydox administrators (Jetmir Kutleshi and Shpend Sokoli) in December 2024. The arrests were part of a joint international law enforcement operation that also shut down the Rydox marketplace, seized the Rydox[.]cc domain, and seized its servers in Kuala Lumpur with the help of the Royal Malaysian Police. Ardit Kutleshi was extradited from Kosovo to the United States in 2025, when he was charged with crimes related to their Rydox admin role, including conspiracy to commit identity theft, aggravated identity theft, two counts of identity theft, access device fraud, and money laundering.
