@Unit42_Intel A RAT that wires Telegram C2 to an LLM planner turns "autonomous attack" into tool-calling with a hostile objective.

Identifying functional cloud roles is difficult when attackers obscure identity behavior. We mapped 40,000 identities across 125 environments with unsupervised machine learning algorithms to deliver continuous visibility in standard SQL: https://t.co/AsbD0dVOHF https://t.co/bpwg9

@Unit42_Intel The free CDN plus rotating public-repo payloads is the tell. For CMS and e-comm fleets: lock third-party script allowlists, alert on unexpected clipboard or PowerShell paste prompts, and treat ClickFix as browser social engineering, not just a malware drop. 309 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

We documented P2PInfect in 2023 spreading via a Lua sandbox escape. In Mar–Aug 2026, our honeypots saw 692 attacking IPs and 363 C2s push the same worm via Redis misconfig: SLAVEOF to a rogue master, and RDB writes planting a crontab entry and an SSH key: https://t.co/CQPzuGgad5

@Unit42_Intel What strikes me most: jsDelivr and GitHub as trusted staging. Reputation filters inherit the reputation of whatever they trust, and we keep allowing that by default. 371 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

A sustained ClickFix campaign has compromised 350+ websites on a leading CMS platform since August. The attack abuses a free CDN, hosting and rotating malicious payloads across public repos. Details at https://t.co/UhF2VR87tz https://t.co/a1opM5o4J6

NeuralOverride is a Cyrillic Python RAT using Telegram for C2 and integrating the #OpenRouter LLM for autonomous attack planning. It includes #SCADA tasking stubs referencing a missing scada_commander.py module. The 5-build family evolved over one month: https://t.co/XZAtluiiQm h
