Forg365 PhaaS Targets Microsoft 365 with Device Code and AitM Session Theft

Forg365 PhaaS Targets Microsoft 365 with Device Code and AitM Session Theft

A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) operation called Forg365 is using a combination of device code phishing , adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) tactics, antibot evasion, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted lure creation, and post-compromise mailbox operations targeting Microsoft 365 accounts. Distributed via Telegram and costing $400 a month (or $3,800 per year), attack chains leverage phishing lures that make use of legitimate email delivery infrastructure, such as Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) and Twilio SendGrid, to imitate a redirection chain that blends into regular email traffic before it ends in Forg365-controlled domains. "The panel exposes a mature operator workflow: accounts, links, invitations, OAuth app configuration, redirect links, SVG generation, campaign sending, SMTP profiles, SMTP rotation, AI email generation, token vaulting, account intelligence, keyword alerts, viewer links, and browser-extension support," ZeroBAC said . The email securi...

Meta Files Patent for AI That Can Listen All Day and Track How You're Feeling

Meta Files Patent for AI That Can Listen All Day and Track How You're Feeling

Meta has filed a patent application for an AI that listens to your voice throughout the day, works out how it thinks you are feeling from the way you sound, and keeps a timestamped log of every read. Each read gets pinned to the moment it happened: the time, your location, what you were doing, even how you were using your phone. Some versions in the filing would listen all day; others would check in only at set times. None of these ships in a product today, and Meta has not announced one; a filing like this stakes a claim on an idea long before anyone commits to buildingĀ it. The application,Ā  US 2026/0182881 , was filed by Meta Platforms in December 2025 and published on July 2. It names a single inventor, Lachlan Dunn , and traces back to a provisional filing from December 2024. The patent-analysis siteĀ  Patentlyze Ā flagged the filing first. Its title pairs two ideas, emotional state analysis and real-time fitness coaching. The claims show the first is the ...

Thinking Fast and Slow in the SOC: The Case for Combining Autonomous AI with Analyst Copilots

Thinking Fast and Slow in the SOC: The Case for Combining Autonomous AI with Analyst Copilots

A few days ago, I was sitting with the CISO of a Fortune 50 company, walking through how his security team was thinking about AI agents in the SOC. Smart team. Serious program. They had already connected Claude to a few detection tools and were seeing real value in specific investigations. But as we mapped out the broader architecture, something kept nagging at me. The design they were building was going to work beautifully for a tiny percentage of alerts that genuinely needed deep human judgment. It was going to completely ignore the rest. On the flight home, I picked up a book I had not touched in a few years. Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow. Kahneman is one of the rare people who genuinely changed how we understand human decision-making. He spent his career as a psychologist studying how people actually think, as opposed to how economists assumed they did. In 2002, he won the Nobel Prize in Economics, which tells you something about how far his work traveled beyond ...

Attacker Uses Suspected AI-Generated PowerShell Script to Map Active Directory

Attacker Uses Suspected AI-Generated PowerShell Script to Map Active Directory

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged an intrusion in which an unknown threat actor leveraged a vibe-coded PowerShell script for Active Directory (AD) enumeration. "The script looked for the Domain Controller (DC) and mapped users, computers, and domains, before creating a directory and exporting out a number of files, and finally creating AD_Report.html to measure the success of the enumeration attempt," Huntress researchers Jevon Ang and Dray Agha said . The attack chain involved the threat actor establishing Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access onto a domain-joined Windows Server with a set of pre-compromised credentials, followed by staging the tools in the "C:\ProgramData\" folder. The incident took place in early June 2026. This included an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated payload to map the Active Directory environment. The assessment is based on various telltale signs, such as the prompt iteration title, placeholder strings, over-engineered cod...

Misconfigured Server Reveals Three Evilginx Phishing Operations Targeting Microsoft 365

Misconfigured Server Reveals Three Evilginx Phishing Operations Targeting Microsoft 365

An attacker running a live Microsoft 365 phishing operation left a Python web server listening on a public port with directory listing switched on. The command that did it:Ā  python3 -m http.server 8080 , was still sitting in the readableĀ  .bash_history . From that one lapse, French security firmĀ  Lexfo Ā lifted the operator's entire toolkit and pivoted through it to two more phishing operators, three campaigns in all. Each ran a custom fork of the open-source Evilginx proxy , cloned from public GitHub. The largest of the three had been running for more than a year, its victims overwhelmingly corporate mailboxes. The three got past MFA in two mechanically different ways, one by proxying the live login , one by abusing a legitimate Microsoft sign-in flow. The two need different defenses, which is the part that matters most if you run MicrosoftĀ 365. Directory listing on a working attack server is close to a full confession. The listing exposed phishing conf...

iCagenda and Balbooa Forms Joomla Flaws Reportedly Exploited as Zero-Days

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two maximum-severity security flaws impacting iCagenda and Balbooa extensions for Joomla to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) catalog, following reports of zero-day exploitation in the wild. The vulnerabilities, both rated 10.0 on the CVSS scoring system, are below - CVE-2026-48939 - A vulnerability in the iCagenda extension for Joomla that allows the upload of arbitrary files via the file attachment feature, leading to PHP code upload and execution. CVE-2026-56291 - A vulnerability in the Balbooa Forms extension for Joomla that allows the upload of arbitrary files, leading to remote code execution. According to mySites.guru, a cloud-based dashboard service for managing WordPress and Joomla websites, CVE-2026-48939 is said to have been exploited as a zero-day since June 15, 2026, in automated attacks aimed at Joomla sites on which iCagenda is installed. It resides in the "Submit an...

Compromised jscrambler 8.14.0 npm Release Drops Rust Infostealer During Install

Compromised jscrambler 8.14.0 npm Release Drops Rust Infostealer During Install

The jscrambler npm package was compromised, and simply installing itsĀ 8.14.0Ā release runs an infostealer on your machine. Published on July 11, 2026, the malicious version carries aĀ preinstallĀ hook that drops and executes a native binary, one build each for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Socket flagged the releaseĀ  six minutes after it was published . If you or one of your build systems pulled it in that window, the payload has already run with whatever access your install processĀ had. None of this is in the prior release,Ā 8.13.0.Ā  The package diff Ā shows two new files underĀ dist/:Ā setup.js, a small loader, andĀ intro.js. Despite the name,Ā intro.jsĀ is not JavaScript but a roughly 7.8MB container packing three gzip-compressed native binaries, one each for Linux, Windows, and macOS. On install,Ā setup.jsĀ picks the binary for the host operating system, writes it under a random name in the system temp directory...

Hackers Weaponize Balochistan Police Portal in Multi-Group Espionage Campaigns

Hackers Weaponize Balochistan Police Portal in Multi-Group Espionage Campaigns

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of sustained cyber espionage activity against several Pakistani law enforcement organizations undertaken by suspected China- and India-aligned threat actors between February 2024 and April 2026. "At Balochistan Police, the compromised assets included servers hosting web applications that manage police and citizen data, such as criminal and biometric records," Aleksandar Milenkoski, principal threat researcher at SentinelOne SentinelLABS, said in a report published this week. The activity targeted network appliances and servers hosting web applications that manage biometric records, hotel and tenant registrations linked to national identity records, criminal case files, and personnel records. The China-nexus threat actor is also said to have compromised one of these web applications to deploy a custom implant masquerading as a portal update. The application in question, named Complaint Management System (CMS), serves pol...
