Risky Bulletin: Two TeamPCP members arrested in Australia

Australian Federal Police arrested two alleged TeamPCP members behind supply-chain worm attacks that stole over 500,000 credentials from compromised open-source libraries.

The AFP arrested alleged TeamPCP leader Ruben Thomson, 21, and Louis Gaebler, 23, near Perth; both were charged and remain in custody. The group inserted a self-spreading credential-stealing worm into open-source projects including Trivy, KICS, LiteLLM, and Telnyx, harvesting more than 500,000 credentials used for network access, ransomware, extortion, and sales. About 78,000 tokens and secrets from nearly 2,200 organizations leaked online last month, and the FBI supported the investigation that began in April.

PaperCut Replaces Emergency Patches With Fixes for Two Actively Exploited Flaws

PaperCut shipped maintenance releases replacing emergency patches for two actively exploited flaws abused in AI-assisted attacks on 395 organizations.

PaperCut released PaperCut NG/MF versions 26.0.5, 25.0.13 and 24.1.10, superseding Emergency Patch Releases 1-3 for CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078, which enable authentication bypass and arbitrary code execution on susceptible instances. GreyNoise and Blackpoint Cyber reported a suspected Russian-speaking actor weaponizing both flaws against at least 395 organizations in 48 countries, concentrated in the U.S. education sector. The campaign used hundreds of AI agents powered by OpenAI's Codex harness and a DeepSeek model, originating from IP 45.142.193.132, and avoided organizations in Russia, China, Hong Kong, Thailand and Iran.
