ExfilSquad Targets New Victims, Shares Data via Torrents
Extortion group ExfilSquad lists 13 new US, UK and Swedish victims and now distributes stolen data via peer-to-peer torrents.
ExfilSquad, a data-theft extortion collective that emerged in mid-2026, announced 13 new victims in the US, UK and Sweden with an August 5, 2026 negotiation deadline. The group skips ransomware, instead stealing data and threatening publication on a dark web leak site. Resecurity says its TTPs center on exploiting misconfigured Microsoft Dataverse, Power Pages, case management and CRM portals. The group now distributes stolen data through per-victim torrent trackers and web seeds, making leaks hard to contain.

NSA, FBI warns of hackers using AI-generated tools in attacks on critical infrastructure technology
NSA and FBI warn of an active campaign using AI-generated exploit scripts against Siemens S7 PLCs in critical infrastructure sectors.
NSA, FBI and other federal agencies issued an urgent advisory describing an active threat campaign targeting US-based Siemens S7 Series PLCs with AI-generated exploitation scripts disguised as legitimate monitoring tools. Actors use internet scanning to find exposed PLCs in energy, water, and manufacturing sectors, and may be preparing for operational effects. The advisory expands on July warnings of Iran-affiliated hackers targeting PLCs from Siemens, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation, and Allen-Bradley.
