Anthropic locks out Claude users after infostealers hijack login sessions

Anthropic invalidated Claude sessions compromised by infostealers such as Vidar, Lumma and Atomic Stealer, which steal browser cookies to bypass 2FA.

Anthropic began locking users out of Claude accounts after infostealer malware stole browser session cookies, letting attackers replay logins and bypass two-factor authentication. Identified malware includes Vidar, Lumma (LummaC2), StealC, RedLine and Acreed on Windows and Atomic Stealer (AMOS) on a small number of Macs. Anthropic signed affected users out, removed saved payment methods and refunded unauthorized charges. One affected user traced the infection to a pirated game downloaded from a Russian underground forum; the company advised victims to remove the malware before resetting passwords and re-enabling 2FA.

Mirage2FA Surge Hits 4,500 US and EU Companies, Abusing Microsoft 365 Login Flows

Mirage2FA phishing-as-a-service campaign hit ~4,500 organizations, mostly US, stealing Microsoft 365 passwords and session cookies to bypass 2FA.

ANY.RUN research links the Mirage2FA phishing-as-a-service toolkit to 4,532 unique organization email domains between 2024 and 2026, with the US accounting for 63.7% of victims. The kit uses adversary-in-the-middle login flows to harvest credentials and session cookies, bypassing MFA on Microsoft 365 accounts. Researchers recorded more than 9,000 potential compromise events and estimated 48% of targeted email addresses were potentially compromised. Hijacked sessions extend to SSO-connected services, enabling impersonation, fraud and further compromise.

CVE-2026-86206, CVE-2026-86207: N-able N-central Authentication Bypass (FIXED)

Rapid7 disclosed two chained N-able N-central flaws, CVE-2026-86206 and CVE-2026-86207, enabling unauthenticated admin account creation; patched in 2026.3 Hotfix 3.

Rapid7 researchers found CVE-2026-86206 (semicolon/Forwarded access-control bypass, CWE-791, CVSSv4 6.9) and CVE-2026-86207 (UserTwoFactorLogin authentication bypass, CWE-305, CVSSv4 7.7) in the latest N-able N-central. Chained, they let a remote unauthenticated attacker create an attacker-controlled System administrator account. The bugs stem from Envoy and Jetty disagreeing on the requested path and whether the client is local. N-able patched both in N-central 2026.3 Hotfix 3, following the earlier CVE-2026-18577 authentication bypass.

Legacy Lenovo login opens 5,000 Dropbox accounts to attackers

Dropbox warned about 5,000 users that attackers abused a legacy Lenovo ID login integration to access accounts and files between August 4 and 21.

Attackers exploited an integration allowing Dropbox access via Lenovo IDs, registering Lenovo IDs with Dropbox users' email addresses due to a flaw in Lenovo's email verification process. The compromise lasted from August 4 to 21; attackers accessed files belonging to fewer than a third of the roughly 5,000 affected users, none of whom had 2FA enabled. Bitcoin security company Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp reported attackers attempted to access one locally encrypted file. Dropbox expired all Lenovo ID sessions, severed the integration link, and urged affected users to reset passwords and enable 2FA while Lenovo's investigation continues.
