Cavern C2 Uses DNS and Google Apps Script to Blend Into Legitimate Traffic
Kaspersky details Iranian Cavern Manticore's expanded C2 framework using DNS and Google Apps Script, plus APT42's TAMECAT spyware in nuclear-sector phishing.
Kaspersky reported new components in the Cavern (Cav3rn) C2 framework, used by Iranian MOIS-affiliated Cavern Manticore (with overlaps to MuddyWater and OilRig's Lyceum) against Israeli entities, monitored since December 2025. The new GoogleService.dll module performs DNS A-record queries to choose between direct HTTPS and a Google Apps Script relay per transaction, with the DNS infrastructure able to rotate the Google deployment ID; Kaspersky also found an inter-component broker (rnp.dll) and linked the framework's plugin-based pivot to late April 2026. Separately, Group-IB and Kaspersky detailed HOLLOWGRAPH, a .NET NativeAOT DLL first seen in the wild June 7, 2026, that uses Microsoft 365 calendar events via the Graph API as two-way dead drops dated May 13, 2050, with DNS tunneling refreshing Entra ID credentials. DarkAtlas also reported APT42's TAMECAT modular surveillance framework delivered via LNK masquerading as PDFs in spear-phishing targeting the nuclear energy sector in April-May 2026, with the group using generative AI to accelerate operations.

DDoS attacks hit record scale as 1 Tbps+ campaigns become more common
Cloudflare's H1 2026 report shows record DDoS scale, with more 1 Tbps+ attacks, multi-vector campaigns, and hacktivist surges against governments.
Cloudflare's H1 2026 DDoS Threat Report documents record-scale attacks, with a significant increase in campaigns exceeding 1 Tbps and April 2026 peaking at 6.46 trillion requests and 165 PB. Most network-layer attacks stayed small and short — 96.62% under 500 Mbps and 90.60% under 10 minutes — but multi-vector campaigns combining HTTP floods with DNS and CLDAP amplification grew. Operation Epic Fury drove 149 hacktivist DDoS claims against 110 organizations in 16 countries, hitting the government sector hardest, and Brazil overtook the US as the leading attack source country.
