Smishing Triad Hackers Use JWR Phishing Kit to Steal Cards, OTPs and Bank Credentials

Group-IB attributes large-scale smishing using the JWR real-time phishing kit to the Smishing Triad's Outsider cluster, harvesting card data, OTPs, and bank credentials.

Group-IB attributes a large-scale SMS phishing campaign to Outsider, an operator sub-cluster within the Smishing Triad phishing-as-a-service ecosystem, using a kit dubbed JWR. The Vue 2-based platform maintains real-time WebSocket communication with operators, enabling them to adapt pages live and harvest roughly 70 PII fields, card data, PINs, OTPs, identity document images, and digital wallet credentials via a dedicated PayPal sub-funnel. Unit 42 previously tied 194,345 malicious domains across 136,933 root domains to the broader operation since January 2024. Defenders can hunt for /api/open/ endpoints, /webSocket/QT/ paths, JWR-prefixed storage artifacts, and a hard-coded WebSocket token.

The Verifiable Action Card: Trustworthy Human-in-the-Loop Control for Secure Autonomous Agents

Verifiable Action Card architecture blocks indirect prompt injection in agentic browsers, cutting attack success from 68-100% to 0%.

Researchers propose VAC, a browser-architecture defense that reconstructs approval prompts from the ground-truth pending action and trusted intent provenance, rendering them out-of-band in trusted browser chrome. On a 24-scenario benchmark covering confused-deputy attacks, dialog forging, and indirect prompt injection, attack success fell from 68-100% to 0% across evaluated LLMs, with 78% legitimate-task completion and a 0% false-block rate. Approval is bound to the exact action re-verified at dispatch.

AI helps scammers build convincing antivirus renewal pages

Malwarebytes found scammers using AI to build polished fake antivirus renewal pages impersonating Avast, harvesting names, emails and phone numbers for follow-up fraud calls.

Malwarebytes analyzed a fake Avast renewal site targeting Belgian users in French, claiming a €129.99 Avast Premium Security renewal and collecting name, email address and Belgian mobile number through a cancellation form. Leftover code comments written in polite French and other stylistic clues suggest the page was generated with AI assistance, and the form was never connected to send data anywhere. The scam typically progresses to phone calls pressuring victims to install remote access software, and AI substantially lowers the barrier for producing polished, localized scam pages at scale.

NightEagle Hackers Target Russian Companies Using GhostContainer Backdoornew

Kaspersky links NightEagle (APT-Q-95) intrusions in Russia to stolen VPN credentials, the GhostContainer Exchange backdoor, BlueKeep exploitation, and covert tunneling for espionage.

Kaspersky's Global Emergency Response Team attributes new intrusions against Russian companies to NightEagle (APT-Q-95), active since at least 2023 and previously focused on Asian organizations. The group uses valid VPN credentials, deploys the .NET-based GhostContainer backdoor on Microsoft Exchange servers, and tunnels RDP via Microsoft Dev Tunnels and rdp2tcp. In one incident operators exploited BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708) to create an administrator account, and they performed DCSync replication against Active Directory to harvest domain password hashes. GhostContainer reuses code from Neo-reGeorg, ExchangeCmdPy.py (CVE-2020-0688), and ysoserial, and tampers with AMSI and Windows event logging to evade detection.

AWS’s new sign-up gives accounts spend caps, email invites, and agent-set permissions

AWS's new sign-up flow gives fresh accounts agent-configured permissions, email-based team access, and per-project monthly spend caps starting at $20.

New AWS customers can sign up with Google, GitHub, or Apple identities, start with $100 in Free Tier credits, and build inside a project where AWS and coding agents automatically configure permissions and install tools like the AWS CLI and Agent Toolkit. In a demo, an agent deployed a Lambda function, DynamoDB table, and API Gateway endpoint without any manually written IAM policies. Paid projects get monthly spend limits starting at $20 that pause the project when reached, and the gradual rollout applies to new customers only.

Anthropic wants Claude to analyze your bank account and financial data

Anthropic is testing Claude Money, an iOS feature letting users link bank accounts so Claude can analyze spending, bills, and plans.

Anthropic is testing a personal finance feature called Claude Money, spotted by TestingCatalog in the Claude iOS app as a new Money section alongside Chats, Code, Artifacts, Dispatch, and Cowork. The feature would let users connect bank accounts and ask Claude about spending, plans, and more, though it has not rolled out widely and supported banks and regions remain unknown. It mirrors OpenAI's ChatGPT Finances, which connects accounts via Plaid and supports more than 12,000 U.S. financial institutions. The article notes European availability may be limited by local privacy laws.

Knowledgator Releases GLiFormer: A 575M-Parameter Encoder That Hits 91.10 F1 on Nested JSON Extraction Without Generating Tokens

Knowledgator released GLiFormer, an Apache-2.0 encoder (264M/575M) handling NER, classification, relations, and nested JSON extraction, scoring 91.10 F1.

Knowledgator Engineering released GLiFormer, a schema-conditioned encoder that performs NER, classification, relation extraction, nested JSON structuring, and embeddings without generating output tokens. GLiFormer Large v1 has 575.6M parameters and scores 91.10 F1 on nested JSON extraction, close to GPT-5.6-luna's 91.96; both checkpoints are Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. Reported median latency is 69 ms on GPU for the base model, though relation extraction (21.33 micro-F1) still trails GLiNER-Relex and larger LLMs.

Anthropic and OpenAI want to embed safety evaluators. Will they really be independent?

Anthropic and OpenAI propose embedding independent safety evaluators with deep access to training, but evaluators question whether true independence is achievable.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed embedding third-party evaluators like METR and Redwood Research inside frontier AI labs with access to training checkpoints, and OpenAI's Sam Altman said his company would also commit to the practice. Evaluators welcomed the idea but cited past problems: Apollo Research received only three days to pre-release test GPT-6 Astra, and METR and Redwood got roughly one week on premises for the Hugging Face incident, yielding inconclusive results. Researchers argue that access to intermediate training checkpoints is needed to detect alignment faking, since models increasingly recognize when they are being evaluated, and some say legislation may be needed to guarantee independence.

When scanners miss the attack: how Cloudflare Client-Side Security protects storefronts

Cloudflare's Page Shield ML uncovered four malicious JavaScript campaigns on storefronts, including affiliate fraud and a remote-backdoor script, that VirusTotal and URLScan missed.

Cloudflare's Page Shield ML detected four client-side JavaScript operations (eight payloads) in live traffic on online storefronts, enabling affiliate commission hijacking, clickless affiliate theft via hidden iframes, user tracking with a remote-code backdoor, and cloaking of paid mobile visitors. Seven of the eight payloads were absent from VirusTotal and URLScan returned no malicious verdict for any, including a Lnkr-family payload indexed unclassified for roughly 2.5 years. Detection relies on a graph neural network over JavaScript syntax trees, an LLM second opinion on Workers AI, and a frontier-model ensemble voting across benign, magecart, other malware, and cryptomining labels.

Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight

A New Jersey court ordered people-search broker Radaris to transfer radaris.com and a dozen related domains to Atlas Data Privacy over Daniel's Law violations.

On August 26, a New Jersey judge found Radaris failed to defend claims that it violated Daniel's Law, which protects law enforcement officials' personal data and imposes $1,000 fines per ignored removal request. The court ordered radaris.com and more than a dozen related broker domains transferred to plaintiff Atlas Data Privacy Corp. Radaris had delayed litigation using offshore shell entities and previously used a fictitious CEO named 'Gary Norden' in investor-facing press releases.

12 Best Kubernetes Security Tools Compared (2026): Features & Pricing

GBHackers compares 12 Kubernetes security vendors including Sysdig, Wiz, Aqua, and Cisco Isovalent on features, pricing units, and procurement strategy.

GBHackers publishes a 2026 buying guide comparing 12 Kubernetes security vendors including Sysdig, Wiz, Aqua Security, SUSE NeuVector, Snyk, Cisco Isovalent, Palo Alto Networks, Fairwinds, Red Hat ACS, and Tigera. It argues CNCF-grade open source (Kubescape, Falco, Trivy, Calico, Cilium/Tetragon) provides free posture, runtime, and network policy coverage that resets price negotiations. Cisco's acquisition of Isovalent places the eBPF data plane under a networking giant, while the paid market focuses on multi-cluster policy, enforcement, and support. The piece emphasizes that pricing units (workload, node, cluster, developer, credits) heavily influence contract costs.
