The JS#SMUGGLER campaign uses "Junk Code" JavaScript and fileless PowerShell executed via mshta.exe to bypass EDR. This multi-stage attack silently installs the NetSupport RAT.
A new C-compiled RAT, CastleRAT, uses Steam Community pages to hide its C2. The malware deploys advanced features like UAC Bypass, screen capture, and clipboard hijacking for espionage.
Despite takedown, LockBit 5.0 resurges as a cross-platform threat. The new variant blinds Windows Event Tracing (ETW), uses Invisible Mode for stealth encryption, and overwrites free disk space.
A dangerous new Android malware called SeedSnatcher targets crypto users with overlay phishing on MetaMask/Trust Wallet. It uses BIP 39 validation to steal seed phrases and supports remote command execution for total device control.
A Rust supply chain attack used typosquatting (finch-rust) and an unpinned dependency to silently update the sha-rust payload over two weeks, stealing credentials and private keys from developers.
CISA/NSA exposed BRICKSTORM, a Chinese state-sponsored backdoor targeting VMware vCenter/ESXi and ADFS servers. The self-restarting malware used DoH and nested TLS for 18 months of persistent espionage.
FortiGuard exposed UDPGangster, a custom UDP backdoor deployed by MuddyWater APT. The malware evades network defenses and analysis by using UDP for C2 and checking for single-core CPUs/low RAM.
Google exposed Intellexa (Predator spyware vendor) using 15 zero-days since 2021, including the iOS "smack" exploit chain (JSKit). Google is issuing mass warnings to targeted users globally.

SEQRITE exposed Operation DUPEHIKE targeting Russian HR with a malicious LNK bonus lure. The DUPERUNNER implant uses PowerShell and process injection into explorer.exe to deploy the Adaptix C2 Beacon.
Patchwork APT deployed StreamSpy, a new trojan that uses WebSocket for covert C2 and HTTP for file transfer, blending malicious activity with web traffic to evade detection during espionage operations.
Koi Security exposed ShadyPanda, which infected 4.3M+ users by weaponizing trusted browser extensions (WeTab, Clean Master) through auto-updates. The malware performs RCE and exfiltrates data to China.
Zscaler exposed Matanbuchus v3.0, a MaaS downloader pivoting to ransomware. The stealthy C++ malware uses Protobufs for C2, QuickAssist for access, and time-wasting loops to bypass sandboxes.
