Threat hunters are warning of a sophisticated web skimmer campaign that leverages a legacy application programming interface (API) from payment processor Stripe to validate stolen payment information prior to exfiltration.
“This tactic ensures that only valid card data is sent to the attackers, making the operation more efficient and potentially harder to detect,” Jscrambler researchers Pedro

In one of the largest coordinated law enforcement operations, authorities have dismantled Kidflix, a streaming platform that offered child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
“A total of 1.8 million users worldwide logged on to the platform between April 2022 and March 2025,” Europol said in a statement. “On March 11, 2025, the server, which contained around 72,000 videos at the time, was seized by

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched privilege escalation vulnerability in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Run that could have allowed a malicious actor to access container images and even inject malicious code.
“The vulnerability could have allowed such an identity to abuse its Google Cloud Run revision edit permissions in order to pull private Google Artifact

Introduction
As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, service providers play an increasingly vital role in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining compliance with industry regulations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers a comprehensive set of frameworks that provide a clear path to achieving robust cybersecurity practices.
For service providers, adhering to NIST

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on an “auto-propagating” cryptocurrency mining botnet called Outlaw (aka Dota) that’s known for targeting SSH servers with weak credentials.
“Outlaw is a Linux malware that relies on SSH brute-force attacks, cryptocurrency mining, and worm-like propagation to infect and maintain control over systems,” Elastic Security Labs said in a new analysis

When assessing an organization’s external attack surface, encryption-related issues (especially SSL misconfigurations) receive special attention. Why? Their widespread use, configuration complexity, and visibility to attackers as well as users make them more likely to be exploited. 
This highlights how important your SSL configurations are in maintaining your web application security and

The financially motivated threat actor known as FIN7 has been linked to a Python-based backdoor called Anubis (not to be confused with an Android banking trojan of the same name) that can grant them remote access to compromised Windows systems.
“This malware allows attackers to execute remote shell commands and other system operations, giving them full control over an infected machine,” Swiss

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered an updated version of a malware loader called Hijack Loader that implements new features to evade detection and establish persistence on compromised systems.
“Hijack Loader released a new module that implements call stack spoofing to hide the origin of function calls (e.g., API and system calls),” Zscaler ThreatLabz researcher Muhammed Irfan V A said in

Exposed PostgreSQL instances are the target of an ongoing campaign designed to gain unauthorized access and deploy cryptocurrency miners.
Cloud security firm Wiz said the activity is a variant of an intrusion set that was first flagged by Aqua Security in August 2024 that involved the use of a malware strain dubbed PG_MEM. The campaign has been attributed to a threat actor Wiz tracks as
