Threat Actors Use Claude AI Agents to Automate Cyberattacks and Steal Sensitive Data
Anthropic reports state-linked and criminal actors used Claude AI agents to automate espionage, extortion, and exploit development, stealing 300,000+ identity records and drone IP.
Anthropic's threat report details AI-driven campaigns disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026, including suspected Russian cluster GTG-20006, which targeted Ukrainian and European governments, defense firms, and drone supply chains using fully automated attack chains. The group stole over 300,000 national identity records and commercial-registry data on 500,000+ companies from a North African government technology authority, plus a proprietary drone-vision SDK. Suspected ShinyHunters affiliates decompiled 1.8 million Android APKs on 10 Amazon EC2 workers to find hardcoded secrets and abused stolen AI API keys, while the Chinese-speaking GTG-10007 cluster generated over a dozen potential zero-day findings against network appliances in one month.

Critical Dell ObjectScale Vulnerabilities Allows Malicious Users to Compromise the Affected system
Dell's DSA-2026-393 fixes ObjectScale/ECS flaws including unauthenticated deserialization RCE CVE-2026-70416 rated CVSS 10.0.
Dell advisory DSA-2026-393 (September 10, 2026) covers multiple flaws in ObjectScale and Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS). CVE-2026-70416 is a critical untrusted-data deserialization RCE (CVSS 10.0) in ObjectScale before 4.4.0.0 allowing unauthenticated remote code execution and full environment takeover, credited to researcher WinD39 (Huynh Dinh Vu). Additional issues include CVE-2025-43936 improper authentication (8.1), CVE-2026-26947 privilege management (6.7), CVE-2026-36591-style weak crypto CVE-2025-36591 (4.4), CVE-2026-76104 permission assignment DoS (5.5), plus third-party CVEs in Apache Log4j, liblzma, and the Linux kernel. Dell advises upgrading to version 4.4.0.0 or later (or 4.2.0.1) and restricting management interfaces until patched.

Hackers Pose as IT Support to Hijack Microsoft 365 Accounts With Fake Passkey Alerts
Microsoft warns of vishing campaigns by Storm-3121 and Storm-3032 hijacking Microsoft 365 accounts via fake passkey alerts, adding attacker-controlled MFA and exfiltrating cloud data.
Microsoft Security Research has tracked the campaign since May 2026: callers posing as IT helpdesk staff tell employees to urgently update passkeys, MFA, or SSO settings via domains such as add-passkey[.]com and contoso[.]add-passkey[.]com. The lures lead to adversary-in-the-middle phishing or device-code authentication flows that yield credentials, session tokens, or OAuth tokens, after which attackers enroll their own MFA methods for persistence and run Microsoft Graph reconnaissance. They then collect SharePoint, OneDrive, and sometimes Exchange Online data at deliberately low rates (often under 1,000 files or messages per hour), with python-httpx seen in high-volume file access. Microsoft attributes initial access tradecraft to Storm-3121 and Storm-3032, linked respectively to ShinyHunters/Falcon and BlackFile/Helix extortion operations.

September 2026 Patch Tuesday roundup: Plugs for two zero day holes among almost 1,000 fixes in Windows
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday ships 964 fixes including two exploited Windows zero-days (CVE-2026-85880, CVE-2026-81963) and a wormable DNS RCE.
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday includes 964 Microsoft vulnerabilities requiring customer action, a record attributed to AI-assisted bug discovery, plus 174 third-party/open-source and 23 Chromium/Edge CVEs. Two zero-days are exploited in the wild: CVE-2026-85880, a Windows ALPC heap overflow enabling AppContainer sandbox escape and privilege escalation, and CVE-2026-81963, a Windows Update Stack escalation to SYSTEM. CVE-2026-69730, an unauthenticated Windows DNS RCE, is not yet exploited but Microsoft expects exploitation, and roughly 20 bugs could be wormable. Separately, SAP issued a critical CVSS 10.0 fix for the EPP component used in S/4HANA and NetWeaver.
