The Python-based remote access trojan ModeloRAT and a newly observed stealth backdoor, dubbed Backdoor.Mistic, to activity consistent with an initial access broker (IAB) operation that facilitates ransomware deployments. Mistic first seen in April 2026 and publicized by Zscaler as MLTBackdoor access appears optimized for long-term, low-visibility access and was discovered deployed in at least one […]

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new class of CI/CD workflow weakness that allows attackers to hijack workflows and compromise open-source supply chains. The “critical exploitable pattern” has been codenamed Cordyceps by Novee Security. The issue can allow full attacker control of repositories at dozens of the largest organizations worldwide, including Microsoft, Google, Apache, and

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jun. 24, 2026– Read the full story from BreackLock
AEV, BAS, and penetration testing each answer a different security question.
Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) maps which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable by real attackers and identifies the attack paths that could lead to critical assets.
Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) uses automated, continuous simulations to determine whether security controls are functioning as expected.
Penetration testing uses human testers to find what is vulnerable in a system at a specific point in time. The three approaches are complementary rather than interchangeable.
BreachLock takes readers for a deep dive into AEV, BAS, and pentesting, and then they answer another FAQ: Why is continuous security validation important for enterprise security programs?
The short answer: Continuous security validation, delivered through approaches like BAS and AEV, ensures that security gaps are identified and surfaced as soon as they become relevant rather than waiting for the next scheduled engagement.
BAS, AEV, and pentesting are offered through the BreachLock Unified Platform.

An active phishing campaign that impersonates Microsoft Teams to trick victims into downloading a legitimately signed remote access tool (RAT) preconfigured for unauthorized access. Attackers deliver Teams-themed lures notifications about meeting transcripts, missed recordings, or “download transcript” prompts linking to convincing landing pages that mimic collaboration and productivity services. The offered downloads are pitched as […]

We are standing at the end of an era we never thought to mourn: the era of human-speed threats. For years, cybersecurity moved to a rhythm organizations could follow. A researcher found a bug, a CVE was cataloged, a vendor navigated a patch cycle, and weeks or even months later, a fix was deployed. In this era, dwell time was measured in days, sometimes weeks. We are now approaching an

A concerted campaign by an initial access broker with ties to the Payouts King ransomware ecosystem that leverages a novel browser-based delivery technique to establish persistent host-level control. The actor deploys a malicious Microsoft Edge extension dubbed “Edgecution” which abuses the Chrome native messaging protocol to reach a Python backdoor running on the endpoint, effectively […]
