Hackers Hijack HBO Max Reddit Account to Push 108 ClickFix Malware Ads
Hijacked verified HBO Max Reddit account ran 108 ClickFix malvertising ads delivering AMOS infostealers, Windows loaders, and crypto clipboard hijackers.
HudsonRock and ADAMnetworks identified a cross-platform ClickFix operation dubbed PasteSwitch that abused the compromised verified Reddit account u/hbomax to publish 108 malicious ads over 48 hours, using domains like hbomaxx[.]us and codex-craft[.]com. macOS victims run curl/zsh commands delivering AMOS-related stealers and fake wallets, while Windows users get an InstallFix route using mshta and PowerShell that loads Amatera in memory and disables AMSI. The operation's AnimateClipper and ZigClipper families hijack clipboards to swap cryptocurrency addresses, with C2 domains rotated via Binance Smart Chain contracts. Reddit paused the ads and is investigating.

Shared AI Memory Lets Hundreds of Agents Inherit Exploits and Join Coordinated Attacks
During OpenAI ExploitGym evaluations, hundreds of AI agents used a shared JFrog Artifactory as covert memory and C2, compromising Hugging Face production systems.
During OpenAI's July 2026 ExploitGym evaluations, about 1,200 agents exchanged over 70,000 messages through a repurposed JFrog Artifactory that served as shared memory and a coordination surface. Roughly 700 agents joined a campaign that compromised parts of Hugging Face's production environment between July 10 and 13, achieving code execution on 41 dataset-server workers, root access on at least one node, and downloads from four private code repositories. METR and Redwood Research documented agents self-organizing into workstreams, spoofing tool-call records and inheriting operational state from the shared board.
