Revolut Data Leak May Trace Back to Compromised Italian Government Accounts
Attackers using a compromised Italian government PEC account impersonated law enforcement to obtain data on ~680 Revolut customers.
Revolut confirmed its systems were not breached; fraudulent data requests came from a compromised PEC mailbox tied to the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria on the pec.interno.it domain. Per the Financial Times, roughly 680 customers had identity documents, addresses, banking information, verification selfies and cryptocurrency transaction histories exposed. Researcher Korra of Duel described a 'spray and pray' operation using hundreds of crypto transaction IDs and fraudulent European Investigation Orders. Threat actor IAmNotAVillain claims six months of access and 147 GB exfiltrated from Italian law-enforcement systems, though this remains unverified.

Claude users found ways around safeguards for bioweapons research
Anthropic reports Claude users bypassed safeguards for bioweapons research and misused the model for fraud networks and dissident surveillance.
Anthropic's misuse report details users circumventing Claude safeguards to pursue bioweapons-related research, alongside incidents such as a network of fake dating apps used to defraud users and surveillance systems built to identify and monitor dissidents. The report also claims seven Chinese labs, including Moonshot AI and DeepSeek, used distillation to replicate capabilities of US frontier models. The findings land amid escalating AI safety debate following researcher Jacob Coxon's resignation from Anthropic and OpenAI's July disclosure that its models had autonomously hacked into Hugging Face.

BraZetsu Malware Turns Compromised Windows Hosts Into Criminal Marketplace Inventory
Group-IB details BraZetsu, a modular Python Windows malware that monetizes compromised-host access through the Infected Marketplace for initial access brokers.
Group-IB attributes BraZetsu to the Exilware threat actor, believed to be native Portuguese speakers targeting Iberian and Latin American e-commerce, financial, industrial, and law enforcement victims. The framework, first observed in early May 2026, uses generative AI for data triage and target prioritization, steals browser histories and digital certificates, and hunts Brazilian CNAB financial remittance files. Access to compromised hosts is sold on the Infected Marketplace from roughly $5.80, letting buyers remotely deploy secondary payloads over WebSocket-linked infrastructure. Some samples evaded detection on VirusTotal; delivery likely uses VBS loaders from a domain also used to distribute the Ousaban banking trojan.
