2Hackers Hijack AOMEI Software Updates for Just 5 Minutes to Secretly Install BackdoorsCyber Security NewsInfosecurity MagazineMalwarebytes LabsThe Hacker News+1A short-lived change to AOMEI’s software update system gave hackers a way to deliver malware through a trusted route. Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) and Mandiant found that attackers repeatedly altered AOMEI’s update settings for only a few minutes at a time between April and July 2026. Any AOMEI Backupper computer checking for updates during an active window could receive a malicious download instead of a genuine update. The operation did not rely on a software flaw or require users to open a suspicious file. Instead, the attackers changed two configuration files on AOMEI’s servers…

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unified Intelligence Center could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a blind SQL injection attack against an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read the contents of the internal database of an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid user credentials on the…

As Android Central reports , users have received unexpected emails telling them their phone number has been verified for secondary Google accounts. Like me and many others, you may have one Google account for everyday use, another for work, and a third for things you would rather keep separate. But if you’re using an Android phone, those accounts may have something in common that you didn’t intend or even know about: your phone number. Google’s own documentation confirms that phone number verification is on by default and adds your number to all Google accounts signed in on the device. This…

Scientists have discovered that an exotic particle that existed at the birth of the universe might solve one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology and help explain reality as we know it, according to a new study in Physical Review Letters . Our modern universe is dominated by matter, but it also contains fleeting amounts of antimatter, which is like a bizarro version of matter made of particles with the same mass, but opposite electrical charges. For instance, matter contains positively-charged protons and negatively-charged electrons, whereas antimatter is made up of the inverse…

Speaking at Bloomberg's UK Policy Series on Monday, Financial Conduct Authority chief data, information and intelligence officer Jessica Rusu said the regulator wants Britain to lead safe AI adoption in financial services. Greater autonomy, however, requires clear accountability. "Poorly governed AI can create consumer harm, cyber vulnerabilities, and operational failures, potentially at much greater speed and scale," she said. "Our…

Introduction Imagine you’ve ordered a small paper unicorn from an online marketplace. You clicked “Buy”, received a cheerful notification, and expect a courier to bring the box tomorrow. If the unicorn is delayed by a day, it will be annoying but not catastrophic: an apology, a discount promo code — and the incident is forgotten. Now let’s multiply one late unicorn by several hundred thousand orders. Packages start heading to the wrong cities. The website shows an item is in stock, even though the required bin is empty. Conveyors stop, boxes get stuck between floors, the cargo piles up with…

A Chinese-speaking hacker used AI agents to break into more than 100 company websites while spending an estimated $5,000 on AI tokens, according to a Reuters investigation in October. The operation shows how one person can direct software to carry out complex attacks with little ongoing human input. The targets included sites linked to Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins, although the reported impact differed across those companies. After the campaign began on September 25, the agents attempted to compromise more than 1,200 websites, mainly online stores in the United States, Canada, Australia and…

An ordinary coding task led to an unexpected security discovery when Claude Code reportedly found a hidden cryptocurrency miner on a developer’s Mac. The AI assistant was building a temperature monitoring app when unusually high sensor readings prompted it to investigate CPU activity. It identified XMRig consuming about 1,175% CPU, described as roughly 12 cores of processing load. The developer, posting as u/UntilHEX on Reddit , said Claude checked running processes after reviewing raw sensor data. The discovery offered an explanation for the Mac’s poor performance. However, the account…

ICANN has started testing authentication schemes that will allow law enforcement agencies to make urgent requests for non-public WHOIS information – when needed to address threats to life, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation. Domain registrars collect information about their customers and in the past that data was publicly available in WHOIS records. Some domain registrars offer services that substitute their own contact details, to preserve customer privacy. In recent years, laws like GDPR mean registrars are sometimes required to hide WHOIS data. That’s fair enough but makes it…

The US Department of Homeland Security on Monday issued an order directing federal civilian agencies not to use technology products from Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, and to remove any existing implementations. The order [PDF] is broad, as it requires agencies to ditch "all DeepSeek and DeepSeek-affiliate products, and third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek implementations." Complying will be tricky as it is not clear which third-party products and services have been developed using DeepSeek's wares. Nor is it clear whether "developed using" means providing ongoing access to…
