Tropic Trooper Pivots to AdaptixC2 and Custom Beacon Listener
IntroductionOn March 12, 2026, Zscaler ThreatLabz discovered a malicious ZIP archive containing military-themed document lures targeting Chinese-speaking individuals. Our analysis of this sample uncovered a campaign leveraging a multi-stage attack chain where a trojanized SumatraPDF reader deploys an AdaptixC2 Beacon agent, ultimately leading to the download and abuse of Visual Studio (VS) Code tunnels for…

Attacking the MCP Trust Boundary
Every secure API draws a line between code and data. HTTP separates headers from bodies. SQL has prepared statements. Even email distinguishes the envelope from the message. The Model Context Protocol (MCP), the fast-growing standard for connecting AI agents to external services, inherits that gap from the models it sits on top of. Its central…

Why API Discovery Is the First Step to Securing AI
TL;DR AI risk doesn’t live in the model. It lives in the APIs behind it. Every AI interaction triggers a chain of API calls across your environment. Many of those APIs aren’t documented or tracked. That’s your real exposure. Shadow API discovery gives you visibility into those hidden endpoints, so you can find them before…

Curity looks to reinvent IAM with runtime authorization for AI agents
Multiple approaches to agent security: Today, agent security falls into one of several camps, which include increasingly inadequate inline approaches such as API gateways and web application firewalls (WAFs), and out-of-band analysis systems that infer intent by analyzing agent behavior against a baseline.Curity’s Access Intelligence, by contrast, is a self-hosted microservice that acts as a…
