The Smishing Deluge: China-Based Campaign Flooding Global Text Messages

Unit 42 attributes a global smishing campaign with 194,000+ phishing domains impersonating tolls, banks, and couriers to the Smishing Triad.

Palo Alto Unit 42 attributes ongoing smishing texts about toll violations and package misdelivery to the Smishing Triad, targeting U.S. residents since April 2024. Researchers identified 194,345 FQDNs across 136,933 root domains registered since January 2024, mostly via Hong Kong registrar Dominet (HK) Limited with Chinese nameservers and hosting concentrated on U.S. cloud services. The decentralized campaign impersonates banking, cryptocurrency, e-commerce, healthcare, law enforcement, and social media services, and its scale points to a large phishing-as-a-service operation. Phishing pages harvest national ID numbers such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, payment details, and login credentials.

Cyberattack on Ceva Logistics disrupted eight European warehouses, delaying shipments for Bol, De Bijenkorf, Ajax and exposing Steam hardware buyers' data.

A cyberattack on Ceva Logistics disrupted operations at eight European warehouses, delaying shipments for Bol, De Bijenkorf, Ace & Tate, Ajax and Steam hardware customers. Attackers accessed two Ceva systems processing Bol orders, potentially exposing names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and order details. Valve began notifying European Steam customers whose hardware shipping data may have been compromised and is contacting data protection authorities. Ceva, with about 110,000 employees and over 1,700 facilities, has not disclosed the attackers or whether ransomware was involved.

Magento StyleSmuggler zero-day exploited to deploy Linux backdoor

StyleSmuggler zero-day in Magento and Adobe Commerce is actively exploited in the wild to deploy a Rust-based Linux backdoor; fix not yet released.

A zero-day dubbed StyleSmuggler affecting all versions of Magento and Adobe Commerce is being actively exploited, with the first observed incident on September 4 on a fully patched site. The exploit injects PHP code via Magento's template system through a fake 'failed-payment' email to achieve code execution, installing a Rust-based backdoor disguised as kworker/u:8:0 or fc-cache with a 30-minute cron job for persistence. The backdoor communicates via TLS/WebSockets or UDP port 123 masquerading as NTP traffic, checks TracerPid to detect tracing, and can receive remote commands. Adobe confirmed it is working on a fix with no timeline; Sansec recommends disabling GraphQL as mitigation and monitoring for suspicious cron entries and kworker or fc-cache processes. Magento is installed on more than 160,000 websites, including 14,000 of the top 1 million sites.

SAP warns of maximum severity 'OVERPASS' kernel vulnerability

SAP's September 2026 patches fix maximum-severity kernel flaw CVE-2026-44756 (OVERPASS), letting unauthenticated attackers execute commands on 10,000+ internet-facing SAP systems.

SAP's September 2026 Patch Tuesday addresses 20 vulnerabilities, headlined by CVE-2026-44756, a buffer overflow in the Extended Passport Protocol (EPP) library of the SAP Kernel dubbed OVERPASS by Onapsis researchers. Unauthenticated attackers can gain administrative command execution via SAP Internet Communication Manager; Onapsis counted more than 10,000 internet-facing SAP systems. SAP also fixed CVE-2026-58240 (S4GET), a critical missing-authentication flaw in the NetWeaver Message Server enabling unauthenticated remote code execution as <sid>adm. Since November 2021, CISA has added 14 SAP flaws to its actively exploited list, three abused by ransomware gangs.

Breeze Comet Executes Hundreds of Fraudulent Transactions via Brazilian Payment Systems

Google/Mandiant profile Breeze Comet, a Brazil-based e-crime group executing fraudulent Pix and STR payment transactions at banks, retailers, and fintechs.

Google Threat Intelligence Group and Mandiant describe Breeze Comet (formerly UNC5669), a financially motivated threat actor active since September 2023 targeting Brazilian financial services, retail, and e-commerce. The group gains access via password spraying, vishing impersonating IT support to install RMM tools like AnyDesk, WhatsApp social engineering, and exploitation of vulnerable JBoss AS servers for web shell deployment. It uses compromised government websites as C2, deploys the Rust-based COBALTSPIN tunneler and multiple custom backdoors (LIGHTPAINT, MILDFROST, KICKPLATE, BOATBEAM), then clears logs after executing hundreds of fraudulent transactions through Pix, STR, and Boleto payment systems. At least one heist yielded tens of thousands of dollars, with infrastructure suggesting expansion toward Latin America and Africa.

Pro-Palestinian operation claims dozens of data breaches against Israeli firms

Hacktivist group Cyber Toufan claims 60 data breaches of Israeli and allied firms, wiping systems and erasing backups; Check Point links it to Iran.

The pro-Palestinian group Cyber Toufan said it released stolen data from 60 Israeli and foreign firms, including SpaceX, Toyota and IKEA, as part of a month-long leak operation launched in late November. Researchers at Check Point and SOC Radar assess the leaks are genuine, likely stemming partly from a major attack on Israeli hosting company Signature-IT, and attribute the group to Iran; researcher Kevin Beaumont said roughly a third of victims remain offline weeks later with backups erased. Google blocked the group's Telegram leak channel, while about 10 Iranian-backed hacking groups are assessed to be attacking Israel in the ongoing cyberwar.
