How Attackers Use Developer Machines to Breach the Software Supply Chain - May 07, 2026

In April, three major supply chain campaigns hit npm, PyPI, and Docker Hub in just 48 hours, and while the ecosystems were different, the objective was the same: steal credentials from developer environments and CI/CD pipelines. The malware targeted API keys, cloud credentials, SSH keys, GitHub tokens, npm tokens, environment variables, and more, turning developer machines and build systems into high-value credential vaults for attackers.

Zero-Day Attacks and How to Protect Your Systems from Them

Zero-day attacks are one of the most serious threats in cybersecurity. They target unknown software weaknesses and can cause damage before anyone is aware of the issue. It is important to understand how these attacks work to better protect systems and data. A Zero-day attack exploits a software vulnerability that is unknown to the developer but already known to attackers. The attacker tries to exploit the vulnerability before the concerned team can identify and apply a patch to fix it.

2026 Public Sector Cyber Attacks and Data Breaches

In 2026, the public sector continues to face numerous cyber attacks, with data breaches often exposing sensitive information, disrupting essential services and undermining public trust. From municipal governments to federal agencies, public sector organizations of all sizes face challenges from threat actors exploiting outdated systems, human error and expanding digital footprints. These incidents are more than isolated security failures.

What is Credential Theft? How Attacks Work, Their Business Impact, and How to Prevent Them

Almost every system today, including cloud platforms, SaaS tools, and enterprise apps, relies on identity to control who gets in. That shift has made login credentials one of the most valuable things an attacker can get their hands on. A single compromised account can be enough to move through an entire network, access sensitive data, and stay hidden for weeks without triggering an alarm.

New RMM Abuse Exposes Remote Access Blind Spots in U.S. and EU Companies

Can your SOC prove when a trusted remote access tool becomes unauthorized access? That is the challenge behind the latest RMM abuse targeting companies in the U.S. and Europe. Attackers are using phishing pages to deliver legitimate remote access software, making malicious activity look like routine IT work. For CISOs, the risk is clear: if the team cannot see how the tool entered the environment, what executed, and where the connection went next, containment slows down and business exposure grows.

How Telecom Operators Can Secure OSS/BSS Stacks

Telecom security conversations still orbit around the network. Firewalls, signaling protection, DDoS mitigation-those get budget and attention. Meanwhile, the systems that handle billing, subscriptions, and customer data often sit in the background, treated as operational plumbing rather than a primary risk surface.

The UK Government's Open Letter on AI Cyber Threats Underscores the Need for Measurable Security

A recent open letter from the UK government on AI-driven cyber threats highlights a clear shift in the threat landscape. Cyberattacks are no longer constrained in the same way by human expertise, as advanced AI models can now help identify vulnerabilities, generate exploit code, and increase the speed and scale of attacks.

Payment Infrastructure Is Now Part of the Attack Surface

Every payment creates a moment of trust. A customer enters card details, a gateway approves or rejects the transaction, fraud checks run in the background, and sensitive data moves between systems in seconds. When that process works, it feels invisible. When it fails, the damage can reach far beyond a lost sale.

PhantomRaven Wave 5: New Undocumented NPM Supply Chain Campaign Targets DeFi, Cloud, and AI Developers

Mend’s security research team has identified a previously undocumented fifth wave of the PhantomRaven campaign, an ongoing NPM supply chain attack that has been stealing developer credentials and secrets since August 2025. This new wave uses a fresh command-and-control server, 33 new malicious packages, and a more sophisticated three-stage payload chain.

How to Stop Digital Impersonation Attacks: Why Email Authentication Alone Isn't Enough

Phishing reports and customer complaints are not early warning signals. By the time they arrive, attackers have already built the infrastructure. Lookalike domains are live, credential harvesting pages are indexed, and the exposure window is open. To stop digital impersonation attacks, organizations need to shift detection to the infrastructure preparation stage, before distribution begins.
