Canadian organizations have emerged as the focus of a targeted cyber campaign orchestrated by a threat activity cluster known as STAC6565. Cybersecurity company Sophos said it investigated almost 40 intrusions linked to the threat actor between February 2024 and August 2025. The campaign is assessed with high confidence to share overlaps with a hacking group known as Gold Blade, which is also
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two new extensions on Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Marketplace that are designed to infect developer machines with stealer malware. The VS Code extensions masquerade as a premium dark theme and an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered coding assistant, but, in actuality, harbor covert functionality to download additional payloads, take
ChrimeraWire is a new Windows trojan that automates web browsing through Chrome to simulate user activity and manipulate search engine rankings.
## Summary Critical security vulnerabilities exist in both the `UUIDv4()` and `UUID()` functions of the `github.com/gofiber/utils` package. When the system's cryptographic random number generator (`crypto/rand`) fails, both functions silently fall back to returning predictable UUID values, including the zero UUID `"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"`. This compromises the security of all Fiber applications using these functions for security-critical operations. **Both functions are vulnerable to the same root cause (`crypto/rand` failure):** - `UUIDv4()`: Indirect vulnerability through `uuid.NewRandom()` → `crypto/rand.Read()` → fallback to `UUID()` - `UUID()`: Direct vulnerability through `crypto/rand.Read(uuidSeed[:])` → silent zero UUID return ## Vulnerability Details ### Affected Functions - **Package**: `github.com/gofiber/utils` - **Functions**: `UUIDv4()` and `UUID()` - **Return Type**: `string` (both functions) - **Locations**: `common.go:93-99` (UUIDv4), `common.go:60-8...
Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new campaign dubbed JS#SMUGGLER that has been observed leveraging compromised websites as a distribution vector for a remote access trojan named NetSupport RAT. The attack chain, analyzed by Securonix, involves three main moving parts: An obfuscated JavaScript loader injected into a website, an HTML Application (HTA) that runs encrypted
It’s been a week of chaos in code and calm in headlines. A bug that broke the internet’s favorite framework, hackers chasing AI tools, fake apps stealing cash, and record-breaking cyberattacks — all within days. If you blink, you’ll miss how fast the threat map is changing. New flaws are being found, published, and exploited in hours instead of weeks. AI-powered tools meant to help developers
The holiday season compresses risk into a short, high-stakes window. Systems run hot, teams run lean, and attackers time automated campaigns to get maximum return. Multiple industry threat reports show that bot-driven fraud, credential stuffing and account takeover attempts intensify around peak shopping events, especially the weeks around Black Friday and Christmas. Why holiday peaks
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of two new Android malware families dubbed FvncBot and SeedSnatcher, as another upgraded version of ClayRat has been spotted in the wild. The findings come from Intel 471, CYFIRMA, and Zimperium, respectively. FvncBot, which masquerades as a security app developed by mBank, targets mobile banking users in Poland. What's notable about the malware
A critical security flaw in the Sneeit Framework plugin for WordPress is being actively exploited in the wild, per data from Wordfence. The remote code execution vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-6389 (CVSS score: 9.8), which affects all versions of the plugin prior to and including 8.3. It has been patched in version 8.4, released on August 5, 2025. The plugin has more than 1,700 active
The Iranian hacking group known as MuddyWater has been observed leveraging a new backdoor dubbed UDPGangster that uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for command-and-control (C2) purposes. The cyber espionage activity targeted users in Turkey, Israel, and Azerbaijan, according to a report from Fortinet FortiGuard Labs. "This malware enables remote control of compromised systems by allowing
