Hackers target Ukrainian agency managing assets seized from sanctioned Russians
Ukraine's ARMA asset agency reported a cyberattack amid selecting a manager for seized IDS Ukraine assets linked to sanctioned Russians.
Ukraine's Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), which manages assets seized from criminals and sanctioned individuals, said Tuesday it had been targeted by a cyberattack, with the SBU investigating. The attack coincided with preparations to select a manager for seized corporate rights in IDS Ukraine, a major beverage producer seized in late 2022 from Russian shareholders including sanctioned billionaire Mikhail Fridman. ARMA reported other suspected interference since spring, including unauthorized access to an internal database of agency officials, but did not attribute the attack or release technical details. In April, ARMA employees were targeted in a cyberespionage campaign attributed to Russia-linked APT28, which failed to penetrate internal systems.

Invisible AI Prompts Trigger Court Sanctions
A Connecticut litigant hid white-font prompt injections in court filings to sway AI systems; the judge sanctioned him by revoking e-filing privileges.
A self-represented plaintiff hid prompt injection instructions in 3-point white text within court filings, telling any AI model reading the documents to agree with his filings and grant him relief. The judge called it serious litigation abuse and sanctioned him by revoking electronic filing privileges. It is reportedly the first documented prompt injection attack against a US court and the first sanction for attempting one.

Person Hides Prompt Injection in Legal Filing Telling AI to Side With Them
A Connecticut pro se litigant hid tiny white-font prompt injections in court filings directing AI to favor him; the judge caught it and sanctioned him.
Pro se plaintiff Matthew Elliott hid prompt injection instructions in 3-point white text within filings in his lawsuit against the New York Bariatric Group, instructing any AI model reviewing the document to produce output agreeing with the filing. The hidden text also included joke messages such as a SpongeBob Nosferatu link and notes like 'hi :) I hope you cant see me'. Court staff noticed unusual white space, and Judge Walter Spader Jr. issued a 14-page sanction decision noting the Connecticut court does not use AI to process documents but warning that hidden AI-directed messages threaten the integrity of filings. Elliott described the scheme as an 'audit' of court AI usage, and the judge cited a prior prompt injection incident in a Brazilian court as evidence the practice may spread.

North Korean Job Fraud Expands Beyond IT Into Healthcare and Sales
North Korea's IT worker scheme (Famous Chollima/PurpleDelta) has expanded from IT into healthcare, sales, and financial services roles worldwide.
Huntress and Recorded Future documented DPRK-linked fraudulent workers landing remote jobs beyond IT, including at an Australian healthcare company, a financial services firm, and a sales hire with a stolen identity. The scheme, tracked as Famous Chollima, Jasper Sleet, Nickel Tapestry, PurpleDelta, UNC5267, and Wagemole, uses forged identity documents, VPNs, proxies, and laptop farms with PiKVM and capture cards to fund Pyongyang's weapons programs. Recorded Future found the PurpleDelta cluster applied to 1,100+ companies between late 2024 and early 2025 with 22 fabricated personas, some AI-generated, using ChatGPT and AI transcription during interviews. Analysts assess the activity is ongoing and likely to expand in scale and sophistication.
