AI Summary

Multiple active threat campaigns were reported, including a new SideWinder attack chain using ClickOnce files to deploy Rust-based backdoors, a large-scale npm supply chain attack named 'Flooding Dropper' involving 846 malicious packages, and a Chinese threat actor leveraging a DeepSeek AI agent in an LLM-managed campaign for proxyjacking. A new XCSSET macOS malware variant (v40) spreads via compromised Xcode projects and includes a Telegram trojanizer. The Gentlemen ransomware affiliate deployed EtherRAT, which retrieves C2 data from an Ethereum smart contract. Additionally, Interlock ransomware abused Volatility3 to extract credentials from memory, and a critical RCE flaw in the Odysseus AI workspace allowed authenticated users to execute OS commands. Several phishing campaigns used fake Bank of America and Coldcard wallet lures to install ScreenConnect, while AI-powered scam farms like FunFoneFarm lower the barrier to entry for cybercrime.
