Alby Hub Critical Flaw Could Let Attackers Take Over Internet-Exposed Bitcoin Wallets

Alby warns a critical flaw in internet-exposed Alby Hub Bitcoin wallets (v1.7.0–v1.18.5) could allow takeover and fund theft; update to v1.24.0.

Alby disclosed a critical flaw in Alby Hub, its self-hosted Lightning wallet, affecting versions v1.7.0 through v1.18.5 when the management interface is reachable from the internet. The flaw could let attackers take over a wallet and send its funds; one affected user has been reported so far, with no word on losses. Versions v1.19.0 and later contain the fix, and Alby advises updating to v1.24.0, binding port 8080 to localhost or firewalled sources, and changing unlock passwords on previously exposed hubs. Full technical details will be published later under responsible disclosure.

Manchester Airports Group breach exposed email addresses, phone numbers and vehicle registrations of about 8.7 million customers across three UK airports.

Manchester Airports Group (MAG) disclosed that an unauthorized third party accessed customer data for roughly 8.7 million people across Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports. Exposed data covers car park, lounge and fast-track bookings and Wi-Fi sign-ups, including email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registration numbers and postcodes; no bank or payment details were stored and no flight operations were disrupted. MAG learned of the incident on August 25 after attackers breached the system over the weekend, contained it, hired external security experts and suspended its Manage My Booking service as a precaution. The breach lands during peak summer travel and adds pressure on UK infrastructure operators after recent incidents at Jaguar Land Rover, M&S, Harrods, Co-op and a UK power plant.

Alleged TeamPCP Hackers Charged in Australia Over Major Supply Chain Attacks

Australian Federal Police charges two men with 14 offences over TeamPCP supply chain backdoors in Trivy, Checkmarx KICS, and LiteLLM affecting 1,000+ organizations.

The Australian Federal Police charged two Western Australian men, aged 21 and 23, with 14 offences for their alleged principal roles in TeamPCP's March 2026 supply chain attacks; they appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on August 27, 2026. The group stole publishing credentials from trusted open-source projects and pushed poisoned releases across five ecosystems - GitHub Actions, Docker Hub, npm, PyPI, and OpenVSX - with LiteLLM's unpinned Trivy install enabling token theft and backdoored LiteLLM releases. The FBI said the malicious code potentially compromised more than 1,000 organizations, enabled theft of over 500,000 credentials, and exfiltrated at least 300 GB of data. Oligo Security linked the group's infrastructure to activity back to 2020, previously tracked as TA-NATALSTATUS and IronErn.

McKesson copes with fallout from data theft extortion attack

McKesson discloses a data theft extortion attack by ShinyHunters affecting oncology and medical-surgical customers, with a reported $55 million demand.

McKesson disclosed that attackers gained access to some of its third-party applications and stole data associated with a subset of customers in its oncology, multispecialty, and medical-surgical business units; the intrusion ran for four days from August 21 and was discovered August 25. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and listed McKesson on its data-leak site, reportedly demanding more than $55 million with a September 1 deadline. Flashpoint analysts say the group typically uses social engineering and identity weaknesses with valid credentials to access cloud-hosted environments, making the intrusion hard to detect. McKesson, which distributes about one-third of pharmaceuticals used in North America with $403.4 billion in annual revenue, says operations continue and it has reasonable assurance of no ongoing unauthorized activity.

Hijacked verified HBO Max Reddit account ran 108 ClickFix malvertising ads delivering AMOS infostealers, Windows loaders, and crypto clipboard hijackers.

HudsonRock and ADAMnetworks identified a cross-platform ClickFix operation dubbed PasteSwitch that abused the compromised verified Reddit account u/hbomax to publish 108 malicious ads over 48 hours, using domains like hbomaxx[.]us and codex-craft[.]com. macOS victims run curl/zsh commands delivering AMOS-related stealers and fake wallets, while Windows users get an InstallFix route using mshta and PowerShell that loads Amatera in memory and disables AMSI. The operation's AnimateClipper and ZigClipper families hijack clipboards to swap cryptocurrency addresses, with C2 domains rotated via Binance Smart Chain contracts. Reddit paused the ads and is investigating.

Counterfeit installers to system compromise: Tracking a deceptive software download campaign

Microsoft tracks a counterfeit software-installer campaign compromising multinationals' China operations, moderately linked to the Silver Fox (Yinhu) actor.

Microsoft Defender Experts is tracking an active campaign using spoofed software download sites for brands such as Razer, Kaspersky, Microsoft Edge, Calibre, and Baidu Netdisk on .com.cn and .hl.cn domains, delivering installer archives whose hashes change per download, indicating server-side payload generation. The implants establish persistence, weaken security protections, and communicate with attacker-controlled infrastructure, with confirmed compromises across healthcare, manufacturing, gaming, technology, logistics, government, and education. Microsoft assesses with moderate confidence that the activity matches the publicly reported Silver Fox (Yinhu) fake software campaign; it has not attributed it to a nation-state actor.
