Cloud Identity Exposure Is ‘a Critical Point of Failure’
Attackers Exploit Cloud Credential Exposure and ‘Over-Permissioning,’ Experts Warn. Attackers keep hammering cloud-based identities to help them bypass endpoint and network defenses, logging in using inadvertently exposed credentials – or ones harvested through infostealers – then escalating access thanks to over-permissioned accounts, experts warn.

New backdoor ‘SesameOp’ abuses OpenAI Assistants API for stealthy C2 operations
Lessons for defenders and platform providers: Microsoft clarified that OpenAI’s platform itself wasn’t breached or exploited; rather, its legitimate API functions were misused as a relay channel, highlighting a growing risk as generative AI becomes part of enterprise and development workflows. Attackers can now co-opt public AI endpoints to mask malicious intent, making detection significantly…

Rhysida ransomware exploits Microsoft certificate to slip malware past defenses
Identifying forensic signals: The campaigns that leverage trusted certificates undermine the trust model enterprises rely on. Signed malware bypasses app-allow lists, browser warnings, OS checks, and antivirus assumptions about signed code. When the file poses as Teams or PuTTY, employees don’t hesitate to download it as it looks normal.”Once inside, the malware runs with fewer…

EDR-Redir V2 Evades Detection on Windows 11 by Faking Program Files
Security researcher TwoSevenOneT has released EDR-Redir V2, an upgraded evasion tool that exploits Windows bind link technology to bypass endpoint detection and response solutions on Windows 11. The new version demonstrates a sophisticated approach to redirecting security software by manipulating parent directories rather than directly targeting protected EDR folders. Novel Attack Methodology Targets Parent Folders…

Preventing DNS filtering bypass by Encrypted DNS (DoT, DoH, DoQ)
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and other encrypted DNS protocols like DNS over TLS (DoT) & DNS over QUIC (DoQ) enhances user privacy and security by encrypting DNS queries in transit, shielding them from eavesdropping, tampering, and censorship on untrusted networks. This prevents ISPs and local attackers from logging or manipulating domain resolutions, fostering a more…
