OceanLotus APT has executed a precision supply‑chain operation that implanted its SPECTRALVIPER backdoor into FireAnt MetaKit, a popular Vietnamese market‑data component. Telemetry collected from mid‑2024 through early 2026 shows OceanLotus (aka APT32) conducting two distinct campaigns: a long‑running espionage intrusion against a Vietnamese infrastructure and transport construction company, and a targeted supply‑chain compromise of FireAnt […]

Most good security work is invisible by design. Today is the exception. The 2026 Cybersecurity Stars Awards winners are announced across 95 subcategories in four main award categories. The reason is simple. Cybersecurity is full of work that deserves recognition and rarely gets it. Products that quietly close real gaps. Teams that stop incidents nobody reads about. Companies that raise the

It’s been one of those weeks. You expect the usual noise: recycled malware, sloppy attacks, another easy target getting hit. Instead, there’s a supply chain attack kit in a public repo, a $5,000-a-month RAT that clones browsers, and research showing AI agents can be tricked into leaking real credentials. The bigger problem is how polished this all looks now. Mule networks run like SaaS.

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jun. 11, 2026Media outlets and cybersecurity industry experts have been warning for the past several years about a persistent scheme that targets college students on Craigslist, apartment rental sites and social media.
“Every year, there is a scam that goes around college campuses that impacts hundreds of college students and young adults,” The College Investor reported in 2023. “Roommate scams, and if you’re not careful, it could cost you hundreds (maybe even thousands) of dollars.”
There are reports of the scam around major college towns across the country every year, including San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. It also doesn’t just hit college students, but also anyone who rents a room.
So why after years of being warned are students still falling for these scams in 2026?
Alissa (Dr Jay) Abdullah, PhD, SVP and Deputy Chief Security Officer at Mastercard, and host of the popular “Mastering Cyber” series on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast, tries a different approach to combating fraudsters who prey on college students on her latest episode – warning parents.
“One of the biggest red flags – someone who avoids video calls,” says Dr Jay, who goes on with a list of signs to help spot fake roommates.
Parents are notorious for nagging their kids about dangerous activities, and they often break through despite how annoying it might be. With high school grads gearing up for their freshman year at college and looking for roommates, now is the time for Mom and Dad to throw up their warning signs.

GoFlateLoader, a widespread Golang loader that has become a go-to delivery mechanism for multiple infostealers including Lumma, Vidar, StealC, Amatera and Remus. GoFlateLoader’s design is intentionally unspectacular: its code implements a straightforward in-memory manual PE loader, lacking anti-debugging, anti-VM, API hashing or control-flow obfuscation. The loader’s operational stealth instead relies on an arguably low-tech but […]

The issue, published by a researcher known as “MSNightmare” (Nightmare Eclipse), demonstrates how systems that have previously initiated a […]
