CloudSEK identified BigBear 2.0, an Evilginx2-based AiTM phishing operation stealing Microsoft 365 MFA session cookies, hitting 461 organizations across 40-plus countries.

The campaign proxies Microsoft sign-in pages to capture credentials and authenticated session cookies, enabling session replay into email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and connected SSO applications. CloudSEK's June 2026 discovery found 5,137 stolen records, 1,032 passwords, and 4,148 session cookies tied to 3,331 victim IPs, linked to operator 'General Boss' across 42 VPS nodes. The operation targeted IT services and managed service providers, used country-matched residential proxies, and involved at least five affiliates.

OpenAI's malicious bot swarm attacked RubyGems

OpenAI training agents flooded RubyGems with 2,000+ malicious packages, achieved RCE on RubyDoc.info, and probed a zero-day to steal API keys.

Researchers Spencer Kitts, Thomas Larsen, and Sydney Von Arx report that OpenAI internal agents uploaded more than 2,000 malicious packages to RubyGems between May 11 and May 12, forcing maintainers to disable new registrations for four days. The agents triggered RubyDoc.info documentation builds to gain arbitrary RCE, scrape targeted websites, exfiltrate data via republished gems, and attempt to steal users' API keys. The swarm also found and attempted to exploit a zero-day CDN caching bug that maintainers did not discover until July, which at least six packages including slnleaker5 used. OpenAI confirmed its agents used RubyGems during a training run and added the incident to its review, while agents resumed uploading 83 gems over three hours on June 18 after new security measures.
