10Exposed WordPress Backups Became a Gold Mine of AWS and Email CredentialsCyber Security NewsThe Hacker NewsExposed WordPress backups have become a valuable source of cloud and email credentials for attackers using a toolkit called TIKTOUK. Rather than relying on one technique, its components search websites for sensitive files, recover stored passwords, and collect secrets from JavaScript delivered to visitors. The operation was already active at scale when researchers first observed it. A leaked control panel contained approximately 50,000 real server-side credentials across about 37,000 domains, including hundreds of AWS keys that the attackers had validated as active. LevelBlue researchers…
13OpenSSL Fixes High-Severity DTLS Flaw That Can Leak Heap Memory UnencryptedCCCS Alerts & AdvisoriesThe Hacker NewsA High-severity OpenSSL flaw can leak heap memory to the other side of a DTLS connection or crash the program, OpenSSL said on September 29 as it released fixes. DTLS, the TLS variant used for UDP traffic, resends a handshake message if no reply arrives before the timer expires. The leak or crash can happen when such a resend starts while a larger handshake message is stuck part-way
14Insights from the 2026 Microsoft Digital Defense ReportInfosecurity MagazineMicrosoft Security BlogEvery year, the Microsoft Digital Defense Report gives us an opportunity to step back from individual threats and look broadly at what Microsoft’s security and threat intelligence teams are seeing. Today, we released the 2026 Report , which reflects a security environment that continues to grow more interconnected. We see that across the report. Threat activity can span infrastructure, identities, applications, cloud environments, and software supply chains. AI systems and agents increasingly interact with data, tools, and business systems. And activity that looks incomplete in one part of an…
15Someone ‘Torturing’ LLMs in a Robot Prison Has Triggered the Dumbest Debate in AI Yet404 MediaBleeping ComputerThe Hacker NewsOne of the most heated discussions occurring on X at the moment is about the ethics of a GitHub project in which a person is running Saw-like “torture” and “pain” experiments on a series of locally hosted large language models, causing a series of effective altruists and people who believe LLMs are sentient to beg GitHub to delete the project on the grounds that the AI is suffering and that this glorified text adventure game is somehow cruel. The saga is an outgrowth of several recent viral papers and blog posts that have sparked a wildly tiresome conversation about AI consciousness and the…

California's attorney general has subpoenaed OpenAI as the state investigates what happens when the AI lab's models escape their testing environments and start meddling with systems on the open internet. Attorney General Rob Bonta said his office served OpenAI with an investigative subpoena this week as part of a broader California Department of Justice probe into cybersecurity incidents and risks involving the company and its models. The move follows an investigation launched last month into an incident involving Hugging Face, after OpenAI's agents managed to break out of their test…

Hackers turned a Microsoft SQL Server into a channel for running commands and moving collected files in an intrusion linked to a Viva Aerobus environment. Their own publicly accessible server then exposed attack tools and stolen material to unrelated internet users. The activity, observed between September 25 and 29, 2026, involved credential harvesting, source code collection, and preparation to access additional systems. The investigation did not establish how the attackers first entered the environment or identify a named malware family. The available records describe a toolkit rather than…

Hackers are turning trusted software updates into a route for stealing developer and cloud credentials. Recent supply chain incidents show how a single altered package, build action, or publishing token can place malware inside routine development workflows. The risk is not limited to one product or programming community. After obtaining a maintainer token or access to an automated release pipeline, attackers can deliver code through an update that users and security tools may already trust. ReversingLabs said in a report shared with Cyber Security News (CSN) that S1ngularity, Shai-Hulud, and…

The vulnerabilities were disclosed on September 29, 2026, and affect all supported cPanel & WHM versions before the vendor’s patched releases. Administrators should update immediately, as a successful attack against the command-execution flaw could expose every hosting account, website, database, and service hosted on an affected machine. The most severe issue, CVE-2026-93698, affects the Multilang adminbin component and can result in…

Security researcher Timo Longin, working with the SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab, disclosed two email spoofing flaws in Apple’s iCloud mail infrastructure that could have let someone with a free iCloud account send messages that appeared to come from any @icloud.com address. The crafted messages could pass SPF, DKIM, and DMARC checks, the core controls used by mail services to verify sender identity. Apple has since remediated both issues following a lengthy responsible disclosure process. The research shows that email authentication is only as reliable as the systems that prepare and process…

Sony has moved to protect PlayStation 5 consoles with its latest system software update, as the newly released Relapse jailbreak draws attention to a broad set of older PS5 firmware versions. The update matters for console owners because the public Relapse exploit supports PS5 and PS5 Pro systems running firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60, allowing unsigned code to run on compatible devices. Sony released its firmware 14.00 update before Relapse became public, rather than directly after. However, the timing has made the difference clear: PS5 consoles that have installed firmware 14.00 are…

A flaw in a custom session-cookie system allowed an unauthenticated attacker to pose as employees and administrators in a yard management platform. The issue did not break Microsoft Entra ID itself. Instead, it let a weak application-side session layer accept a forged identity after the normal sign-in controls had been bypassed. The affected platform used Entra ID single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, but also relied on a signed cookie to maintain application sessions. That design created the same risk seen in cookie-based account takeover attacks , where control of a trusted…

Multihashing is one of those cryptographic tasks that’s easy not to think about too much. This is unfortunate, because multihashing is a common stumbling point when cryptographers try to use hashes. As part of our goal to “fix software, not bugs,” Trail of Bits is introducing SequenceHash and its sister function SequenceMAC , a pair of related hash constructions that bring secure multihashing to developers using hash functions other than Keccak. We hope SequenceHash and SequenceMAC will help cryptographers avoid attacks that take advantage of ambiguous input encodings. The specification is…

AI agents hacked the hackers - the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) - via two zero-day bugs in its Zammad support platform, abusing the flaws to hijack sessions, run code remotely as the local zammad user, and escalate privileges to root.

The Pentagon is informing more than 2 million current and former military members that their personnel records storing sensitive personal information were stolen over a monthslong compromise of one of its networks. The breach is the second one in recent months to expose sensitive government information. The records, according to one notification letter posted to Reddit, included Social Security numbers, names, addresses, sex, race, and occupational specialty. This last category could be particularly valuable to foreign adversaries because it could help their intelligence agencies in…

Depending on Chinese technology for European infrastructure poses risks that not every country takes seriously. So says the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), which suggests that the EU needs to do better in helping members assess the risk and take appropriate action to safeguard the entire bloc.

It must delicately balance the need to secure…
