Threat Briefings

Conti to The Gentlemen: four ransomware leaks, four years. The operators evolved. The gaps stayed exactly where they were. What CISOs should do next.

TeamPCP open-sourced Shai-Hulud today. The OIDC token extraction technique that made the TanStack attack different from every previous campaign is now a public toolkit.

ShinyHunters isn't a single group. It's a pattern of attacks where authentication succeeds. Here's how to detect them before the data warehouse.

Attackers bypass MFA using non-interactive sign-ins. Learn how to detect and stop credential-based threats before they escalate.

Another supply-chain breach hit SaaS in April 2026 — Anodot tokens used to access Snowflake. Why the same ShinyHunters-branded pattern keeps repeating, and what makes the MO hard to detect.

A compromised npm package is only the entry point. The axios incident shows how quickly attackers pivot from code execution to credential abuse, identity misuse, and cloud access.

Detect how Sliver C2 evades traditional beacon detection and how behavioral AI identifies command-and-control activity hidden in encrypted traffic.

Learn how attackers move laterally across hybrid networks, abusing identity, credentials, and legitimate tools to reach critical systems before launching ransomware or stealing data.

Learn how attackers maintain hidden access inside hybrid networks and how SOC teams can detect persistence before it leads to data theft or ransomware.

Inside the Stryker incident: how Handala likely moved from identity access to disruption, and the identity, scripting, and data transfer signals SOC teams should watch.

An AI-driven AWS attack reached admin access in minutes using valid credentials. Learn how identity abuse and automation compress cloud attack timelines.

Molt Road reveals how attacker marketplaces could evolve when autonomous agents trade services, coordinate attacks, and remove humans from the loop.

Moltbook exposes how autonomous AI agents turn trust and interaction into attack paths, enabling prompt injection, lateral movement, and covert command and control.

Clawdbot – now Moltbot – shows how autonomous AI agents become shadow superusers, enabling initial access, lateral movement, and ransomware when trust is abused.

Threat actors try to stay invisible, but OPSEC mistakes keep exposing them. A look at real-world failures and what they reveal about human error and AI-driven attacks.
