Shai-Hulud's Reach Just Grew to 469 Credential Locations. Here's What That Means
GitGuardian found the Shai-Hulud infostealer worm now scans 469 credential locations, including CI/CD and AI tool configs, expanding supply-chain risk.
GitGuardian researchers found that a recent Shai-Hulud worm variant scans for credentials across 469 locations in developer environments, CI/CD tooling, cloud configurations, and AI tool configs, up from 189 paths in earlier variants. The worm reuses stolen credentials to pivot from developer workstations to source code, cloud infrastructure, and package publishing channels, turning credential theft into forward-propagating supply chain attacks. The analysis urges defenders to prioritize removing long-lived package publishing tokens in favor of short-lived OIDC-based trusted publishing, citing recent Docker and GitHub Actions improvements.

Meta Ads Push StreamRat Android Trojan That Can Gain Near-Complete Device Control
ThreatFabric details StreamRat, a new Android banking trojan spread via Meta malvertising in Spain that reached about 571,000 EU accounts.
ThreatFabric reported that a fake TV-streaming malvertising campaign on Meta promoted StreamRat, a technically sophisticated Android banking trojan, targeting Spanish-speaking users; the ads reached an estimated 570,950 Meta accounts in the EU between June 11 and July 3, 2026. Once installed via sideloaded APKs, the trojan abuses Accessibility to log keystrokes, show credential-stealing overlays, capture screens, and remotely control devices, and was also promoted through TikTok. Its dropper requests default Home app and VPN permissions and was hosted via GitHub releases, closely resembling one used in the earlier Mirax campaign. C2 infrastructure includes IPs 45.147.28.59 and 193.32.2.245, and no named threat actor was attributed.

ToxicPanda 2.0 and GoldDigger Expand Android Banking Attacks with On
Zimperium and IBM Trusteer report expanded ToxicPanda 2.0 and GoldDigger Android banking trojan campaigns now targeting 349 financial institutions across 16 countries.
Zimperium zLabs reports ToxicPanda 2.0 (TgToxic) now carries 167 remote commands, targets 349 financial institutions across 16 countries via more than 140 banking and cryptocurrency apps, and abuses Android Wireless Debugging via ADB for privilege escalation and shell access. It harvests lock screen PINs with fake overlays, steals UI elements via accessibility services, sets Device Administrator privileges, and is distributed through Amazon AWS-hosted buckets. IBM Trusteer documents a GoldDigger campaign impersonating airline companies and shopping retailers, causing massive infections in South Africa and the U.K., obfuscated with the dpt-shell packer that detects Frida and resists debugging. GoldDigger performs on-device fraud by injecting input into banking apps and is attributed to the Chinese-speaking GoldFactory actor.

THost9 Android RAT Pairs Packed Loader With ADB Worm
Dark Atlas details THost9, a packed Android RAT paired with an ADB worm that installs itself on devices with exposed Android Debug Bridge services.
Dark Atlas researchers described the Hagaseca cluster, whose THost9 packed loader hides executable code in an embedded asset decoded with single-byte XOR and gzip before loading a tc9.dex second stage. The second stage adds shell execution, file transfer, tunneling, reverse shells, downloadable modules and a self-propagating ADB worm that expands single addresses into 65,025-host scan ranges. Newer builds include anti-analysis checks for Frida, and incident reports connect THost9 and THost4 to Android phones and Redroid containers with exposed ADB from October 2024 through 2026.
