Iran's State TV Hijacked Mid-Broadcast Amid Geopolitical Tensions; $90M Stolen in Crypto Heist

Iran's state-owned TV broadcaster was hacked Wednesday night to interrupt regular programming and air videos calling for street protests against the Iranian government, according to multiple reports. It's currently not known who is behind the attack, although Iran pointed fingers at Israel, per Iran International. "If you experience disruptions or irrelevant messages while watching various TV

6 Steps to 24/7 In-House SOC Success

Hackers never sleep, so why should enterprise defenses? Threat actors prefer to target businesses during off-hours. That’s when they can count on fewer security personnel monitoring systems, delaying response and remediation. When retail giant Marks & Spencer experienced a security event over Easter weekend, they were forced to shut down their online operations, which account for

Massive 7.3 Tbps DDoS Attack Delivers 37.4 TB in 45 Seconds, Targeting Hosting Provider

Cloudflare on Thursday said it autonomously blocked the largest ever distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack ever recorded, which hit a peak of 7.3 terabits per second (Tbps). The attack, which was detected in mid-May 2025, targeted an unnamed hosting provider. "Hosting providers and critical Internet infrastructure have increasingly become targets of DDoS attacks," Cloudflare's Omer

67 Trojanized GitHub Repositories Found in Campaign Targeting Gamers and Developers

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new campaign in which the threat actors have published more than 67 GitHub repositories that claim to offer Python-based hacking tools, but deliver trojanized payloads instead. The activity, codenamed Banana Squad by ReversingLabs, is assessed to be a continuation of a rogue Python campaign that was identified in 2023 as targeting the Python Package

GHSA-gpfc-mph4-qm24: Velociraptor vulnerable to privilege escalation via UpdateConfig artifact

Velociraptor allows collection of VQL queries packaged into Artifacts from endpoints. These artifacts can be used to do anything and usually run with elevated permissions.  To limit access to some dangerous artifact, Velociraptor allows for those to require high permissions like EXECVE to launch. The Admin.Client.UpdateClientConfig is an artifact used to update the client's configuration. This artifact did not enforce an additional required permission, allowing users with COLLECT_CLIENT permissions (normally given by the "Investigator" role) to collect it from endpoints and update the configuration. This can lead to arbitrary command execution and endpoint takeover. To successfully exploit this vulnerability the user must already have access to collect artifacts from the endpoint (i.e. have the COLLECT_CLIENT given typically by the "Investigator' role).

GHSA-5644-3vgq-2ph5: Crafter Studio Groovy Sandbox Bypass

Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources vulnerability in Crafter Studio of CrafterCMS allows authenticated developers to execute OS commands via Groovy Sandbox Bypass. By inserting malicious Groovy elements, an attacker may bypass Sandbox restrictions and obtain RCE (Remote Code Execution). This issue affects CrafterCMS: from 4.0.0 through 4.2.2.

GHSA-24wv-6c99-f843: Pterodactyl Panel Allows Unauthenticated Arbitrary Remote Code Execution

## Impact Using the `/locales/locale.json` with the `locale` and `namespace` query parameters, a malicious actor is able to execute arbitrary code, without being authenticated. With the ability to execute arbitrary code, this vulnerability can be exploited in an infinite number of ways. It could be used to gain access to the Panel's server, read credentials from the Panel's config (`.env` or otherwise), extract sensitive information from the database (such as user details [username, email, first and last name, hashed password, ip addresses, etc]), access files of servers managed by the panel, etc. ## Patches This vulnerability was patched by https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/24c82b0e335fb5d7a844226b08abf9f176e592f0 and was released under the [`v1.11.11`](https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/releases/tag/v1.11.11) tag without any other code modifications compared to `v1.11.10`. For those who need to patch their installations in-place or apply it on top of other code modi...

New Android Malware Surge Hits Devices via Overlays, Virtualization Fraud and NFC Theft

Cybersecurity researchers have exposed the inner workings of an Android malware called AntiDot that has compromised over 3,775 devices as part of 273 unique campaigns. "Operated by the financially motivated threat actor LARVA-398, AntiDot is actively sold as a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) on underground forums and has been linked to a wide range of mobile campaigns," PRODAFT said in a report
