Sality Botnet Dismantled After 23-Year Run Infecting 11 Million Devices
CrowdStrike, the FBI, Europol, and authorities from Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania dismantled the Sality botnet, a Russia-based peer-to-peer network active since 2003.
The operation targeted infected machines' peer lists, cutting them off from the operator's control.
Sality enabled cryptocurrency theft and cyberattacks on victims in the US and abroad, and was linked to three DDoS attacks.
Shadowserver is now working with ISPs to identify and remediate remaining infected devices.

FBI Warns of OAuth Consent Phishing Campaign Targeting Prominent People
The FBI warned that a phishing campaign has targeted prominent individuals, their families, and associates since late 2025.
Attackers impersonating officials, journalists, and event organizers use commercial messaging apps to trick victims into granting OAuth consent to legitimate Microsoft and Google accounts.
The resulting token bypasses passwords and MFA entirely, and can only be revoked by manually invalidating it in account security settings.

ATF Declares Major Incident After Ransomware Gang Claims Hack
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives declared a "major incident" after a cyberattack hit a stand-alone system separate from its main network.
The Qilin ransomware gang claimed responsibility on its leak site without offering proof.
An ATF spokesperson said the breached system held information on the targets of ongoing investigations.
Federal law requires major incidents be reported to Congress within a week, following similar breaches at the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service.
From earlier last week.

White House Bans Foreign-Made Power Equipment Over Backdoor Risks
President Trump signed an executive order banning certain foreign-made equipment from the U.S. bulk power grid over fears of hidden backdoors.
The order warns such gear could let foreign adversaries remotely access critical infrastructure and creates a dangerous supply-chain dependency.
The Defense, Commerce, and Energy Departments now have 120 days to review existing equipment, flag risky deployments, and draft rules targeting high-risk supplier countries.

Cheaper Mid-Tier AI Models Show Sharp Rise in Hacking Skill
New research from XBOW revealed that mid-priced AI models like GLM-5.2, Grok 4.5, and Claude Opus 4.7 now perform strongly at real-world hacking tasks.
GPT-5.5 missed only 10% of vulnerabilities in testing, down sharply from GPT-5's 40% miss rate, and did best without source code access, mirroring real attacker conditions.
Researchers warned that because these models are far cheaper to run than frontier systems, attackers can query them repeatedly at scale, gaining an edge with no budget limits.

Apple Challenges UK Government's iCloud Backdoor Demand
Apple has filed a legal complaint against the UK government over a secret order demanding backdoor access to encrypted iCloud data.
The company brought the case to the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which hears government surveillance disputes.
The challenge targets a technical capability notice issued last year that would force Apple to grant access to encrypted user data on demand.
The clash follows Apple's 2025 decision to pull Advanced Data Protection for UK users rather than build in a backdoor.
