Operation RapidRust: APT36 Deploys RUSTYSHADE, RUSTYMOVE, PSNATCH, and BASHNATCH

Zscaler details Operation RapidRust: APT36 deploys four new tools including RUSTYSHADE, a Rust backdoor using private GitHub repos for encrypted C2.

Zscaler ThreatLabz documents Operation RapidRust, a campaign by Pakistan-aligned APT36 deploying four new tools: RUSTYSHADE, a 64-bit Rust Windows backdoor that uses attacker-controlled private GitHub repositories with a hardcoded PAT and AES-256-GCM-encrypted messages for C2; RUSTYMOVE; PSNATCH, a PowerShell file stealer that scans Office documents, archives, media, and databases modified in the last 120 days and exfiltrates up to 5 GB per run to per-machine GitHub repositories; and BASHNATCH. The backdoor was dropped via PowerShell from attacker-controlled Backblaze B2 storage and supports screenshots, webcam capture, file listing, downloads, and shell command execution.

Hackers Use Claude AI Agents to Automate Cyberattacks, Develop 0-Days and Evade Detection

Anthropic reports state-sponsored and criminal actors used Claude AI agents to automate attacks, discover zero-days, and rewrite malware to evade detection.

Anthropic Threat Intelligence's report covering December 2025 to August 2026 details AI-automated campaigns by espionage groups, criminals, and hacktivists. GTG-20006, aligned with Russia-linked Midnight Blizzard, targeted Ukrainian and European government and drone supply chains, used Claude to autonomously rebuild malware when detected, hijacked hotel Wi-Fi DNS to serve ClickFix lures, and stole over 300,000 identity records from a North African government. Operators linked to ShinyHunters decompiled roughly 1.8 million Android packages for hardcoded secrets and pivoted from an XSS flaw in a SaaS vendor into 200+ downstream organizations in about 34 hours, harvesting 2,100+ Azure AD token sets across 40 tenants. The Chinese-linked GTG-10007 ran parallel agent swarms that surfaced more than a dozen candidate zero-day vulnerabilities in a single month.

Chrome, Firefox Updates Patch 115 Vulnerabilities

Google and Mozilla patch 115 vulnerabilities across Chrome 153 and Firefox 156, including three critical Chrome bugs; no exploitation reported.

Google's Chrome 153 (153.0.8010.47/.48 for Windows/macOS) fixes 42 flaws, including three critical: CVE-2026-91726, an out-of-bounds read in WebGL, and use-after-free bugs CVE-2026-91721 and CVE-2026-91749 in Internals and Workers. Mozilla's Firefox 156 resolves 73 vulnerabilities, including 29 high-severity use-after-free and privilege escalation issues, with related fixes in Thunderbird and Firefox ESR branches. Neither vendor reports any of the defects being exploited in the wild.

CenterPoint Energy confirms customer data stolen in cyberattack

CenterPoint Energy confirms attackers stole customer personal data, with a threat actor leaking 7.49 million records scraped from an unprotected API.

CenterPoint Energy, a utility serving about 7 million metered customers across Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas, confirmed in an SEC filing that an unauthorized third party obtained customer personal information via an external-facing system. A threat actor using the alias "4d722e4d656f77" leaked 7.49 million records containing names, phone numbers, service and billing addresses, account numbers, billing amounts, and partial Social Security numbers. The actor claims the data was exfiltrated by iterating through millions of IDs on CenterPoint's public API, which lacked rate limiting and WAF protections. Electric and gas services were not impacted, but multiple federal class-action lawsuits have already been filed.

Houthis Used Claude Code to Develop Missile Guidance Software: Anthropic

Anthropic's threat report details a Houthi-linked Yemeni cell using parallel Claude Code sessions to build missile guidance software, evading safeguards by fragmenting tasks.

Anthropic's September threat report describes a Yemen-based cell, assessed as highly likely Houthi-linked, that used Claude Code across multiple parallel instances to develop guidance software for a tactical guided rocket, a ballistic missile with over 2,000 km range, and a hypersonic glide vehicle concept called 'R2000'. The operators integrated open-source autopilot software, built six-degree-of-freedom trajectory simulations, and used reinforcement learning to tune flight-control algorithms, ultimately compiling an offline executable. The group test-fired a guided rocket that failed, then used Claude within hours to analyze launch telemetry. Anthropic blocked numerous requests, but operators evaded safeguards by obscuring intent and dividing work across separate conversations before accounts were banned; the case is one of six conventional-weapons cases (three China-linked, two Russia-linked) in a report covering disrupted operations from December 2025 to August 2026.

Florida confirms DMV database breached via stolen police account

Florida confirms its DAVID driver database was breached using stolen police credentials; ShinyHunters claims theft of 200,000+ records.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles confirmed a breach of its DAVID driver database, learned of on September 4, 2026, and says the breach was quickly mitigated with none ongoing. Investigators found the attacker used compromised credentials of a single Plant City Police Department employee that were improperly stored on a personal electronic device. The ShinyHunters extortion gang claims it stole more than 200,000 driver records starting September 3 and shared a Jeffrey Epstein record as proof; FLHSMV has not confirmed the count. The agency notified the Florida Attorney General's office and is working with the Florida Digital Service and Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

PaperCut Attacker Uses Hundreds of AI Agents to Compromise 440+ Instances

GreyNoise and Blackpoint tracked an AI-assisted actor using OpenAI Codex and DeepSeek agents to exploit PaperCut flaws across 440+ instances in 48 countries.

A suspected Russian-speaking actor exploited the CVE-2026-81578 authentication bypass and CVE-2026-82078 RCE chain in PaperCut NG/MF, compromising at least 440 instances across 395 organizations in 48 countries, heavily targeting education in the US, UK, France, and elsewhere. The actor used hundreds of AI agents powered by OpenAI Codex and DeepSeek plus tools like Mimikatz, SharpHound, Certipy, Rubeus, and Impacket, reaching domain admin at 12 victims and full domain admin at a US high school within seven minutes. Post-exploitation included registry hive collection and Metasploit/Meterpreter payloads, with origin traced to IP 45.142.193.132.

Four Nation-State Actors Used the Same Chrome Zero-Day Exploit Kit Within 12 Days

Proofpoint reports four nation-state actors, mostly China-nexus, adopted the BlueMoon Chrome and Windows zero-day exploit kit within 12 days, targeting US organizations.

Proofpoint tracked an exploit kit dubbed BlueMoon that chains CVE-2026-85046, a Chrome V8 type-confusion bug, with an unnamed V8 sandbox escape and CVE-2026-85880, a Windows kernel privilege escalation using ALPC and the Windows Notification Facility. The first observed use was by China-nexus TA412 (APT31, Violet Typhoon, JungleBamboo) on August 28, 2026 against US NGOs, mining companies, and commodity trading firms, followed by UNK_LateNight targeting US aerospace and defense companies on September 2. Both V8 bugs were patch-gap zero-days: the fix was committed to Chromium on August 7 but reached stable Chrome on September 3, enabling rapid weaponization from public patches. TA412's post-exploitation payload, GemStone, is a malicious browser extension posing as an AI-powered Google Gemini companion that captures keystrokes, cookies, screenshots, and browsing history via a Cloudflare Worker C2.
