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. The group runs two parallel tracks: financially motivated attacks against private individuals […]

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

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

It's been one of those weeks. You expect the usual noise: recycled malware, sloppy attacks, another easy target getting hit. Instead, there's a supply chain attack kit in a public repo, a $5,000-a-month RAT that clones browsers, and research showing AI agents can be tricked into leaking real credentials

A study by the University of Toronto shows how artificial intelligence can power autonomous worms capable of tailoring attacks against Windows, Linux and IoT devices. A group of researchers from the University of Toronto has demonstrated how open-source artificial intelligence models can be used to create a new category of computer worms capable of autonomously […]

GREYVIBE, a Russia-linked group active since 2025, targets Ukraine with AI-assisted malware and five attack chains. Researchers say it’s part spy op, part crime gang. Security firm WithSecure has been tracking a previously unknown Russian-linked APT group called GREYVIBE since at least August 2025. The group targets Ukraine and Ukrainian-related organizations across military, government, civilian, […]

Nimbus Manticore accelerated cyberattacks during wartime, using AI-assisted malware, fake Zoom installers, and SEO poisoning. When the United States launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran at the end of February 2026, most analysts expected the country’s cyber apparatus to hunker down and weather the storm. That’s not what happened. Instead, researchers at Check Point have […]

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered malicious code in an npm package after a malicious package as a dependency to the project by Anthropic's Claude Opus large language model (LLM)

Everything is dumb again. This week feels broken in a very familiar way. Old tricks are back. New tools are doing shady crap. Supply chains got hit. Fake help desks worked. Weird research showed how easy some attacks still are

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new iteration of an Android malware family called NGate that has been found to abuse a legitimate application called HandyPay instead of NFCGate

The massive amount of junk code that hides the malware's logic from security scans was almost certainly generated by AI, researchers say.

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

Researchers at ReliaQuest warn of persistent malware campaign targeting enterprise credentials
