ResokerRAT Hijacks Telegram API to Command Infected Windows PCs
A newly identified Windows malware dubbed ResokerRAT abuses Telegram’s Bot API as its main command-and-control (C2) channel to remotely monitor and control infected systems without relying on a traditional attacker”‘owned server. By blending in with legitimate encrypted Telegram traffic, it becomes harder for network defenses to distinguish its C2 communication from normal user activity. When ResokerRAT runs,…

How Treating AI Agents as Identities Can Reduce Enterprise AI Risk
AI agents are no longer experimental. They’re running production workloads, calling APIs, querying databases, provisioning infrastructure, and making decisions across cloud environments. Ironically these agents often end up with more access than the developers who built them. They operate with real credentials, real permissions, and real consequences when something goes wrong. What most enterprise security……
