Attackers don't need to break in anymore. By poisoning the open-source libraries, CI/CD pipelines, and build tools developers already trust, they execute malicious code inside legitimate environments with real credentials and nothing for traditional defenses to flag.
Voice phishing bypasses email gateways, URL scanners, and awareness training, landing in real time with no artifact to analyze. Attackers impersonate IT helpdesks, banks, and executives to extract credentials and OTPs on live calls.
Attackers are no longer breaking in. They are logging in. Compromised credentials and session tokens have made identity the primary attack vector in modern intrusions, and conventional security tooling was not built to detect it.
Attackers posed as venture capital firms on LinkedIn, guided victims through a spoofed meeting flow, and used clipboard injection to execute malicious code without a single exploit. The user completed the attack chain.
Attackers are using Google Cloud Storage, LinkedIn, and other trusted platforms as phishing redirectors, bypassing SPF, DKIM, and URL filters because the initial link points to a legitimate domain.
Security researchers are demonstrating that AI assistants with web-browsing capabilities can be manipulated into acting as covert C2 relays for malware, routing commands through legitimate platforms and making malicious traffic indistinguishable from normal activity.
