An attacker broke into AWS accounts belonging to multiple Qubole customers between October 14 and October 26 and stole stored secrets and data, cloud security company Wiz said today. The attacker used credentials for an AWS account that Qubole's platform uses to reach those customers. How the attacker got those credentials has not been disclosed.

Attackers used the Ethersphere project's own release automation to publish malicious versions of two of its tools for the Swarm decentralized storage network: bee-js 13.3.0 and Swarm Desktop 0.56.2. Both releases download and run code built to steal the wallet key that Swarm Desktop keeps for its node, along with the stored password that unlocks it. The code is also built to install a backdoor

The South Asian cyber espionage group known as Bitter (aka APT-C-08, APT-Q-37, Hazy Tiger, Orange Yali, T-APT-17, and TA397) has been observed targeting South Asian organizations with a previously unreported remote access trojan called PapRAT. "PapRAT has both C++ and Rust implementations," Fortinet FortiGuard Labs researcher Cara Lin said. "Its capabilities include command execution, file

A system doesn't always need a complicated bug to let someone in. Sometimes, a blank password is enough. That's one of the bigger stories this week. And it gets worse when the tools meant to keep systems updated or running safely become part of the attack. Elsewhere, attackers are hiding inside normal web traffic, stealing credentials from network devices, and finding new uses for exposed

The login systems behind two car brands' mobile apps could be taken over completely, two security researchers found, allowing them to access any customer's account and, for an owner with a connected car, unlock the doors and start the engine. Both apps signed customers in through ForgeRock, an identity platform now part of Ping Identity, and on those servers the researchers reached an

Some people who set up a Keplr crypto wallet with their Google or Apple account have had money stolen by an attacker. Keplr uses a company called Web3Auth to run that Google and Apple sign-in. The attacker used a security flaw at that company to reach the wallets, both companies said late last week. Web3Auth then used the attacker's own route to empty other at-risk wallets before the attacker

Everyone running LNbits, a free, open-source Bitcoin Lightning wallet system, should shut down their servers now because of a wave of attacks, the project said yesterday. It has several security fixes to release and asked operators to be careful until they are out. One operator said new accounts used an exploit to withdraw 2,285,545 satoshis, about 0.023 bitcoin, from his server before he could

A single attacker using AI agents pulled emergency dispatch records covering seven Taipei districts, researchers at Acronis's Threat Research Unit said last week. The agents also found a Taipei fire department platform exposing patient data from 2018, including ECG readings and ambulance video footage, without a login. The researchers are highly confident that the attacker is a single person
