New macOS infostealer CrashStealer uses a signed app to bypass Gatekeeper, steals credentials and wallets, then AES-encrypts stolen data. Jamf Threat Labs first spotted CrashStealer in early May 2026 as a suspicious macOS sample uploaded to VirusTotal. By early July, in-the-wild detections confirmed the malware had moved from development into active deployment. The malware is […]

Malware Harvested Cloud Credentials, Source Code and Deployment TokensAttackers used a compromised npm publishing credential to release five malicious versions of Jscrambler's Code Integrity package, deploying a Rust-based infostealer that harvested developer, cloud and AI tool credentials while evolving its delivery methods to evade detection.

Scanners meant to catch malicious add-on "skills" for AI coding agents can be fooled by a few simple changes that leave the malware working, according to a new study from researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

RustDuck is a small, evolving DDoS botnet migrating to Rust. It uses advanced encryption, anti-analysis evasion, and exploits known IoT flaws. Since February 2026, researchers at QiAnXin’s XLab have been tracking a new malware family, called RustDuck, that hijacks routers, cameras, Android set-top boxes, and exposed servers, then uses them to flood targets with junk […]

In addition to executing entirely in memory, the malware's infection chain incorporates other anti-analysis techniques designed to evade detection.

OnyxC2 is a MaaS stealer targeting 210+ apps, using DLL sideloading, encrypted payloads, and remote access features to evade detection. OnyxC2 appeared on a cybercrime forum earlier this year and is sold as a subscription service: $250 per month for the standard build, $500 for the premium tier that includes HVNC, and $6,000 for an […]

Python scripts were used to test malware against endpoint detection and response agents from Sophos, CrowdStrike, and Windows Defender.

A threat actor used AI coding tools to build and test EDR evasion malware, Sophos finds

Void Dokkaebi, a North Korea-aligned intrusion set, has updated its information-stealing malware, InvisibleFerret, shifting its delivery format to evade script-based detections.

Prolific Threat Actor Focused on Using Malware to Facilitate Cargo TheftCargo-stealing hackers have a new trick up their sleeve: using a third-party code-signing service makes their remote management and monitoring software installers appear to be legitimate. Who's providing this signing service isn't clear. It's probably distributed by word of mouth.

DeepLoad logs keystrokes, buries details behind reams of AI-generated code, and re-infect hosts days after being blocked, according to ReliaQuest.  The post Researchers say credential-stealing campaign used AI to build evasion ‘at every stage’ appeared first on CyberScoop.

A new campaign has leveraged the ClickFix social engineering tactic as a way to distribute a previously undocumented malware loader referred to as DeepLoad

Threat actors are using adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) phishing pages to seize control of TikTok for Business accounts in a new campaign, according to a report from Push Security

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how individuals and organizations conduct many activities, including how cybercriminals carry out phishing attacks and iterate on malware. Now, cybercriminals are using AI to generate personalized phishing emails, deepfakes and malware that evade traditional detection by impersonating normal user activity and bypassing legacy security models. As a result,

Dozens of updated, malicious GlassWorm extensions have infested Open VSX, threatening software development supply chains.

Malware is evolving to evade sandboxes by pretending to be a real human behind the keyboard. The Picus Red Report 2026 shows 80% of top attacker techniques now focus on evasion and persistence, including geometry-based cursor tests and CPU timing checks. [...]

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed that artificial intelligence (AI) assistants that support web browsing or URL fetching capabilities can be turned into stealthy command-and-control (C2) relays, a technique that could allow attackers to blend into legitimate enterprise communications and evade detection

If there’s a constant in cybersecurity, it’s that adversaries are always innovating. The rise of offensive AI is transforming attack strategies and making them harder to detect. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group, recently reported on adversaries using Large Language Models (LLMs) to both conceal code and generate malicious scripts on the fly, letting malware shape-shift in real-time to evade

The JavaScript (aka JScript) malware loader called GootLoader has been observed using a malformed ZIP archive that's designed to sidestep detection efforts by concatenating anywhere from 500 to 1,000 archives
