A new wave of cyberattacks using the ClickFix social engineering technique is now targeting Linux, expanding from its earlier focus on Windows and macOS. ClickFix deceives users into copying and executing malicious commands under the guise of fixing fake software errors and CAPTCHA tests. It is now used by multiple threat actors to deliver infostealers, remote access trojans, and ransomware.

A severe vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-32433, has been discovered in the Erlang/OTP SSH implementation and affects all devices running the Erlang/OTP SSH daemon. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote code execution on affected devices. With SSH being a widely used remote access protocol, the vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially in critical infrastructure. Researchers warn that threat actors could soon begin scanning for and exploiting vulnerable systems.

The notorious threat actor RedCurl, renowned for its corporate espionage activities since 2018, has recently pivoted to deploying ransomware specifically targeting Hyper-V virtual machines. Historically, RedCurl’s modus operandi has involved advanced social engineering techniques, such as sending phishing emails with malicious attachments and leveraging legitimate tools like PowerShell to execute malware.

The cryptocurrency world suffered from increasing cyberattacks targeting exchanges, users, and wallets. One of the most notable and recent incidents was the Bybit hack, allegedly orchestrated by the infamous Lazarus. As the industry expands, the number of crypto scams increase, with criminals adapting their sophisticated tactics to deceive users and steal funds. From phishing attacks to fake ICOs, Ponzi schemes, and rug pulls, the variety of scams is as diverse.

In recent weeks, internal communications from the Black Basta ransomware group have been leaked, revealing crucial information regarding their tactics, techniques, and vulnerabilities exploited during attacks. Security vendors and researchers have since analysed these communications, and one of the most notable findings is a list of 62 CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) that Black Basta has used and continues to exploit in their operations. Notoriously, VMWare has released a new advisory on critical vulnerabilities found in VMware ESXi, Fusion, and other tools.

A new phishing campaign, attributed to a threat actor known as Storm-2372, is targeting Microsoft accounts across multiple sectors. Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Centre believes that Storm-2372 is linked to a nation-state operation that aligns with Russian interests, based on their tradecraft, victimology, and tactics.

In recent years, researchers observed a surge in Information Stealing (Infostealer) malware and their sophistication level. Infostealer’s purpose is to gather sensitive information such as financial data or information stored on a device such as credentials, browser & cookie data, documents and machine details.

n the last Patch Tuesday, Microsoft addressed a high-vulnerability flaw in Microsoft Outlook that could allow attackers to execute remote code via maliciously crafted emails. Similarly, Sophos has observed threat actors leveraging the Office365 suite in attacks such as email bombing, IT impersonation on Teams, and remote control via Quick Assist.

Ivanti disclosed two critical zero-day vulnerabilities affecting its Connect Secure, Policy Secure, and Neurons for ZTA gateways. While the researchers have yet to link the attacks to any advanced persistent threat (APT) group, they have identified several malware samples on compromised systems, including the SPAWN ecosystem of malware as well as newly discovered malware such as a credential harvesting tool called DRYHOOK and a dropper called PHASEJAM.
