This blog discusses PhishinGit, a phishing campaign uncovered by CYJAX that abuses GitHub.io pages to distribute malware disguised as Adobe downloads. It explains how threat actors used Browser-in-the-Browser (BitB) techniques, Dropbox-hosted payloads, and anti-analysis JavaScript to evade detection. The blog also explores the attack chain, observed mitigations, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and indicators of compromise (IOCs) to help organisations identify and defend against similar threats.

Modern checkout pages have evolved from static forms into dynamic ecosystems where dozens of third-party scripts run alongside first-party code. This complexity expands the attack surface and challenges traditional defenses designed for fixed perimeters. PCI DSS 6.4.3 was introduced to address that shift, emphasizing continuous oversight of browser-executed scripts and the integrity of client-side behavior.

The Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) within the FBI manages Criminal Justice Information (CJI). Considering the highly sensitive nature of law enforcement data, you have to implement federal security standards to safeguard CJI against increasingly complex cybersecurity threats. ‍ The CJIS Security Policy was introduced in 1992 as a framework to protect CJI through both strategic and tactical measures.

As organizations integrate AI into their everyday systems and operations, the scrutiny on the risks it introduces is higher than ever. According to Vanta’s State of Trust Report 2024, more than half of organizations express concerns over security risks compounded by AI. ‍ The growing unease highlights a new business expectation: you must be able to prove your organization is using AI securely and responsibly.

On August 9, F5 discovered that multiple systems were compromised by what it is calling a "highly sophisticated nation-state threat actor" who maintained "long-term, persistent access to certain F5 systems". These included the BIG-IP product development environment and engineering knowledge management platform. That access allowed for the exfiltration of portions of F5's BIG-IP source code as well as information about undisclosed BIG-IP vulnerabilities F5 was working on.

Last week, I had the honor of emceeing the AI Agent Security Summit in San Francisco, a gathering of some of the brightest minds exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, security, and human responsibility. Having moderated a panel at the first Summit in New York City earlier this year, stepping into the emcee role this time around was a different experience, but just as enjoyable. On-demand recordings of the sessions will be available soon.

Nearly 40,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2024.1 Security teams are overwhelmed, especially those relying on outdated tools. ExPRT.AI, the native intelligence engine embedded in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, is built to help teams prioritize which vulnerabilities are most urgent for them.

The recent developments surrounding the Salesforce data breach serve as a stark reminder of the persistent threats organizations face. What began as a concerning incident earlier this summer has now escalated dramatically, with threat actors following through on their threats and releasing a substantial trove of Qantas customer data to the public.

Phishing was the initial access vector for 60% of cyberattacks across Europe between July 2024 and June 2025, according to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). “With regards to the primary method for initial intrusion, phishing (including vishing, malspam and malvertising) is identified as the leading vector, accounting for about 60% of observed cases,” the agency says.

Why agents break the old model and require rethinking traditional OAuth patterns.
