Hackers Abuse Microsoft Teams Notifications to Launch Callback Phishing Attacks
A sophisticated phishing campaign is targeting users through Microsoft Teams notifications, exploiting the platform’s trusted status to deliver deceptive messages that appear legitimate to both recipients and email security filters. Threat actors are leveraging Teams’ official notification system to send emails from the no-reply@teams.mail.microsoft address, creating a false sense of authenticity that makes detection increasingly difficult.

PickleScan Uncovers 0-Day Vulnerabilities Allowing Arbitrary Code Execution via Malicious PyTorch Models
JFrog Security Research has uncovered three critical zero-day vulnerabilities in PickleScan, a widely-adopted industry-standard tool for scanning machine learning models and detecting malicious content. These vulnerabilities would enable attackers to completely bypass PickleScan’s malware detection mechanisms, potentially facilitating large-scale supply chain attacks by distributing malicious ML models containing undetectable code. The discoveries underscore a fundamental…
