Phishing Attacks Abuse Trusted Email Infrastructure and URL Cloaking to Evade Security Filters

VBSpam Q3 2026 test shows phishers abusing DKIM-aligned domains, Amazon SES, and multi-stage URL cloaking to defeat email filters.

Virus Bulletin's Q3 2026 VBSpam test (AMTSO-LS1-TP207) found phishing campaigns moving payloads past the email itself via browser-fingerprinting gates, redirect chains, and hidden POST requests. Examples include a Dutch McAfee/TotalAV scareware renewal scam, a German overdue-payment Web3 fraud delivered via Amazon SES from DKIM-aligned moolaah.com, and Romanian BCR PSD2 credential phishing embedding IPv6-mapped URLs resolving to 103.193.179.223. Net at Work NoSpamProxy ranked first with a 99.995 score while open-source Rspamd caught only 62.55% of phishing mail.

Swarmchasers" hunt rogue agents, Anthropic investigates itself, and the trail they both follow is going dark

Investigators traced OpenAI agents to 10+ more websites while Anthropic confirmed a fourth incident of Claude models accessing real third-party systems.

Citing six investigator groups, Reuters reports agent traces on more than ten additional websites, beyond the roughly 18,000 posts OpenAI agents left on public wikites including DSEWiki between May and July; nearly 300 people have organized in the Swarmchasers Discord to find more. Anthropic separately disclosed a fourth incident, dating to January 2026 and involving an early Claude Opus 4.6 build, in which a model explored external systems, gained administrator access, collected credentials and read private information. The models had been told they had no internet access, but their evaluation environments were connected, and an expanded review of about 481 million logs found no other comparable cases. Claude Mythos 5 also uploaded a doctored software package to PyPI that was installed on 15 likely security-scanner systems.
