A Russian-speaking threat actor known as "bandcampro" used Google's open-source Gemini CLI AI tool as a hacking agent and to operate a small-scale botnet. [...]
Huntress found an AI-generated PowerShell script used for AD reconnaissance, showing attackers are using AI to create custom, evasive tools. During an incident response investigation on June 3, 2026, Huntress analyst Jevon Ang recovered a PowerShell script from a compromised Windows Server that the attacker had used to map out the victim’s Active Directory environment. […]
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.
AI coding assistants have a habit of making things up. Ask one to fetch a popular tool, and it will sometimes hand back a real-sounding name for a project that does not exist
Armored Likho APT uses AI-generated malware, phishing, and BusySnake Stealer to target governments and power grids in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Brazil. Kaspersky’s threat research team has documented a previously unknown APT group they’re calling Armored Likho, also tracked under the name Eagle Werewolf.

A streaming box should not need a threat model. Neither should a username field, a demo repo, a reset flow, or a browser permission prompt. That is the irritating part this week: the risky pieces were ordinary
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
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new malware artifact generated using DeepSeek that constructed a novel attack path combining "unrealistic browser-malware concepts with a real browser capability" to turn it into a working ransomware technique that runs entirely inside the browser on both Windows and Android devices
Large language models keep inventing web addresses that do not exist. Attackers have started buying those made-up domains before anyone else can, then hosting phishing pages on them to catch traffic that AI tools point their way
This week was a reminder that attackers do not always need big tricks. One small mistake, one old access path, one missed patch, and suddenly the door is open
Business email compromise attacks increasingly rely on convincing impersonation rather than malware, making them harder for employees and traditional email defenses to detect. This webinar explores how behavioral AI can help identify sophisticated email threats and automate response workflows. [...]
An agentic coding tool tasked with cloning and setting up a seemingly benign GitHub repository could execute a malicious payload that remains invisible to security scanners, AI agents, and human reviewers. [...]
A newly discovered macOS malware dubbed "Gaslight" is designed to confuse AI-assisted malware analysis tools by hiding prompt injection strings and fake debugging data within the executable. [...]
A previously undocumented Rust-based macOS implant and information stealer has been found to embed a prompt injection payload designed to trick a malware analyst's artificial intelligence (AI) tools and trick it into aborting or refusing an analysis of the artifact
200+ C2 servers linked to StealC and Amadey shut down
The internet did not break this week. It got used exactly as designed, which is worse
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a "coordinated malware campaign" on the JetBrains Marketplace that has published no less than 15 malicious plugins capable of exfiltrating artificial intelligence (AI) provider keys
Cybercriminals hijacked Google Ads searches for popular AI developer tools to funnel over 2,000 victims toward malicious download pages before quietly moving their operation onto claude.ai's own platform, turning the trusted domain into a delivery mechanism for credential-stealing malware.
