DeadLock ransomware’s new tricks are no laughing matter. Cybersecurity researchers report mischief with a custom encryption routine, the BYOVD technique, and a rogue driver flaw. It’s like a heist movie, minus the popcorn. For a happy ending, beef up your endpoint protection and don’t forget those offline backups!

EtherRAT, a new malware implant, exploits the React2Shell vulnerability to deploy sophisticated attacks. This cunning malware uses Ethereum smart contracts for communication and boasts five Linux persistence mechanisms. If EtherRAT were a ninja, it would have a black belt in stealth and be moonlighting as a cryptocurrency advisor.

North Korean threat actors might be the ones exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability, CVE-2025-55182, for a little cyber mischief. This flaw impacts React and related frameworks like Next.js and Waku. Sysdig’s analysis hints at North Korea’s involvement, but it could also be a clever act of digital finger-pointing.

Google has fixed a critical flaw in its Gemini Enterprise AI assistant called GeminiJack, which allowed attackers to exfiltrate sensitive corporate data through prompt injection. This flaw enabled hackers to access data by planting malicious instructions in shared documents, requiring no interaction or warning for employees.

Storm-0249’s dance with SentinelOne EDR is a masterclass in stealth. Imagine convincing a security bouncer to let you in, only to use their own clipboard as a disguise! By sideloading DLLs and camouflaging malicious activity as routine, this broker has turned security software into its unwitting accomplice. It’s a cybersecurity plot twist worthy of a…

Google’s GeminiJack flaw turns your AI into an unintentional corporate spy, capable of leaking secrets faster than a sieve in a rainstorm. This indirect prompt injection attack could pilfer sensitive data with zero clicks, all while masquerading as normal activity. Google’s patch has calmed the storm, but vigilance remains key.

Botnets in physical form? Picture a robot army marching into your living room. With humanoid robots set to generate $5 trillion by 2050, security is key. They’re not just another tech fad; they’re the perfect storm of robotics, AI, and need. As Rooke said, “Botnets in a physical form is now.”
