Apple patched a record 200+ vulnerabilities in iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate 27, including 20 kernel flaws; none exploited in the wild.

Apple's iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 releases fix roughly 126 security flaws, 20 of them in the kernel, while macOS Golden Gate 27 addresses 210 vulnerabilities, about 100 shared with the mobile release. macOS Tahoe 26.7 patches 153 unique CVEs, including 26 kernel defects that could cause memory corruption, privilege escalation, system termination, and information leaks. Notable fixes include CVE-2026-64752, a CoreMedia memory corruption flaw allowing iPhone compromise via a malicious image, and CVE-2022-3437, a heap buffer overflow in Heimdal Samba enabling denial-of-service. Apple states none of the patched flaws are known to be exploited in the wild.

24 npm Packages Abuse unpkg Mirrors to Host Fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA Pages

OX Security researchers found 24 npm packages abusing unpkg mirrors to host fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA pages that redirect victims to attacker-controlled phishing infrastructure.

OX Security researchers documented 24 npm packages whose single HTML pages, once mirrored on services like unpkg.com, render as fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA pages on trusted domains and redirect victims to attacker-controlled phishing infrastructure for ClickFix attacks or credential harvesting. An earlier version contacted a typosquat Microsoft login domain (login.microsofte.live); after Chrome Safe Browsing blocklisting, the actor switched to the KeyVal key-value store as a dead drop resolver, currently redirecting to the legitimate ChatGPT site. The approach mirrors Socket's October 2025 report on 175 npm packages abusing unpkg.com in the Beamglea campaign.

Microsoft Links 30+ Rotating Domains to MacSync Stealer Infrastructure

Microsoft links 30+ rotating domains to the MacSync macOS infostealer, confirming active credential and file exfiltration through chunked HTTP PUT uploads.

Microsoft Defender Experts correlated 30+ domains with MacSync Stealer, requiring aligned endpoint and network behaviors (process ancestry, command-line patterns, /curl/, /dynamic?txd=, and /gate?buildtxd= paths, API-key headers, chunked HTTP PUT parameters) to link infrastructure. Execution begins from an interactive zsh session consistent with ClickFix social engineering, with curl retrieving and Base64/gunzip decoding the payload, followed by collection of Keychain data, browser credentials, SSH keys, AWS credentials, Kubernetes configs, and Apple Notes. Data is zipped to /tmp/osalogging.zip, chunked, uploaded via HTTP PUT, and artifacts are deleted afterward; the analysis builds on RST Cloud's May 8 findings and overlaps with Microsoft's earlier 250+ domain ClickFix campaign distributing MacSync and Atomic Stealer (AMOS).

Hackers Use Blob URLs and Microsoft Teams to Create Phishing Pages Inside Victims’ Browsers

Barracuda details a phishing campaign using Microsoft Teams OAuth redirects and browser blob URLs to render local fake DocuSign login pages for credential theft.

Barracuda researchers identified an active phishing campaign that routes DocuSign-themed emails with calendar invites through a Microsoft OAuth endpoint and crafted redirects into Microsoft Teams, then renders a fake sign-in page via a browser-generated blob URL. Because the page is assembled locally in memory and can register service workers and run in a sandboxed iframe, URL-reputation checks largely see legitimate Microsoft domains. The goal is credential theft and account takeover, not a flaw in Teams itself.

LG TV flaws could let attackers listen in, even in standby mode

Researchers found LG smart TVs collect network data and ACR viewing profiles, and demonstrated microphone audio capture plus undisclosed RCE vulnerabilities.

An investigation by Gamers Nexus with Level1Techs and independent researchers found LG TVs performing network discovery, collecting nearby Wi-Fi names and device identifiers, and conducting Automated Content Recognition (ACR) tracking. They demonstrated microphone audio capture even when the TV appeared off, and audio buffering while the TV was unplugged from the internet. Remote-code-execution vulnerabilities were reported to LG under ongoing responsible disclosure, with full details not yet public.

ClearFake Deploys Crypto Stealer That Uses Vulnerable Driver to Kill EDR Security Tools

Cisco Talos details ClearFake's fake-CAPTCHA chain deploying ZigCryptoStealer with a BYOVD attack that kills EDR processes, observed at a Ukrainian government organization in April 2026.

ClearFake compromises websites, injects JavaScript via a malicious Cloudflare Worker, retrieves instructions from BNB Smart Chain contracts (EtherHiding), and presents a fake Google CAPTCHA that tricks Windows users into pasting a command that loads a remote library over WebDAV via rundll32. The crypto-stealer branch uses DLL side-loading with a signed Chrome component to launch ZigCryptoStealer, which hijacks clipboard cryptocurrency addresses, alongside a signed but vulnerable Windows driver used in a BYOVD attack to terminate EDR processes. A parallel branch delivers Amatera secondary payloads that install a hidden remote-access client providing operator desktop control, with Cisco Talos tracking the remote-loader activity as UAT-10820. Talos observed unusual remote library execution at a Ukrainian government organization in April 2026 and assesses the attacks are part of a broader theft operation rather than a single targeted campaign.

Fake GTA 6 leaked copy drains your crypto wallet

A fake GTA 6 leaked-copy website loads a multi-chain crypto wallet drainer that sweeps Solana balances and can steal assets across seven blockchain networks.

A fake Grand Theft Auto VI countdown site offers a supposed leaked copy for $50 or 1 SOL and loads a wallet drainer on page visit. An embedded Solana script transfers nearly the entire wallet balance, while a separate 2.4 MB script built on a legitimate wallet-connector tool targets wallets on Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, and Fantom, including stablecoins and NFT collections. The drainer geo-blocks CIS countries via a CIS_Protection setting, profiles visitor holdings, and evades automated scanners, suggesting a rented drainer-as-a-service.
