Most “AI SOCs” Are Just Faster Triage. That’s Not Enough.
AI-powered SOC tools promise automation, but most only speed up triage instead of reducing real workload. Tines shows how real gains come from end-to-end workflows that execute actions across systems, not just summarize alerts.

RCE by design: MCP architectural choice haunts AI agent ecosystem
sh, bash, powershell, curl, rm, and other high-risk binaries, they added.The core issue is that there’s currently no check in place to verify that a STDIO command is intended to initialize an MCP server rather than perform a malicious task. Furthermore, the researchers observed that even if the sent command fails to start the server,…

Fake ProtonVPN, game mod sites spread NWHStealer in new Windows malware campaign
Multiple ongoing malware campaigns are distributing a powerful information-stealing trojan, tracked as NWHStealer, through fake VPN installers, gaming mods, and system tools. Unlike typical phishing campaigns, these attacks exploit users’ trust in popular software. Threat actors are disguising malicious payloads as legitimate installers for tools such as Proton VPN, OhmGraphite, Sidebar Diagnostics, Pachtop, and HardwareVisualizer. The files are hosted…

Hackers Exploit n8n Webhooks to Spread Malware
A new abuse campaign targeting AI-driven workflow automation platforms particularly n8n that turns legitimate automation tools into powerful malware delivery systems. Between October 2025 and March 2026, security analysts observed a sharp surge in phishing emails that weaponized n8n-generated webhooks to deliver malicious payloads and collect device fingerprints under the guise of trusted infrastructure. AI workflow platforms like n8n and Zapier are…
