Three-day patching deadlines, exposed fuel-tank systems, scams costing billions of dollars, and social media bans for children all gave Tony plenty to unpack in June 2026
Most Microsoft 365 environments are missing more than half of the recommended security controls, even with tooling in place. Here's why that happens and what Huntress Managed ISPM does about it.
This blog post is #4 in our series on Verifiable Digital Credentials (VDCs). Our other posts can be found via Post #1, Post #2, and Post #3. In earlier posts, we discussed how verifiable digital credentials (VDCs) are issued and compared the underlying credential formats (ISO/IEC “mdoc” vs. W3C Verifiable Credentials). In this post, we turn to the other side of the story: presentation; that is, how a holder shows their VDC to a verifier at runtime in both in-person and online contexts. We’ll ag…
Cybercriminals are hijacking Microsoft 365 accounts in seconds. Learn the 2026 hacker tactics, including ConsentFix, that bypass security training and exploit normal user behavior.
Written by: James Sadowski, Alden Wahlstrom Introduction Four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the pro-Russia influence ecosystem has evolved from a tool of war back into a global strategic asset. Since the mobilization of this ecosystem to support frontline objectives, we have witnessed the expedited development of new influence assets linked to multiple, expansive, covert information operations (IO) campaigns and a revitalization of pro-Russia hacktivism at an unprecedented…

Huntress responds to recent public allegations of an insider threat, separating fact from speculation and sharing how we approach ethics, transparency, and trust.
Huntress analyzed a credential dumping attack where threat actors disabled Defender, killed monitoring tools, and used Mimikatz to steal credentials.
Your business may be small, but its attack surface is anything but. Readiness is the first step to resilience.
Learn what the average cost of a data breach is and how factors like industry and location impact it. Plus, learn how to protect yourself from costly breaches.
A vulnerability in Cisco Finesse could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to load arbitrary files from remote locations into an active user session on an affected device, possibly leading to browser-based attacks. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input for HTTP requests that are sent to an affected device. An attacker who has knowledge of the address of the affected device could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link t…

Written by: Jordan Jones Introduction Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has conducted an in-depth analysis of a .NET backdoor, tracked as STOCKSTAY, that has been continually developed and deployed by the Russia-linked threat actor Turla (aka SUMMIT, Secret Blizzard, VENOMOUS BEAR, UAC-0194) since at least December 2022. Turla has deployed STOCKSTAY against government and military organizations in Ukraine, as well as entities with an interest in Italian foreign policy. Used for ongoing cy…
Group-IB analyzes Millenium RAT version 4.*, a remote access trojan that has undergone an architectural shift from .NET to native C++, while continuing to leverage the Telegram Bot API for command and control, requiring no dedicated server infrastructure. This blog also profiles the developer “ShinyEnigma”, and threat actor cluster “Y2K Operators” responsible for active Millenium RAT exploitation campaigns. Over 62,000 compromised endpoints across more than 160 countries have been identified, w…

It may be summertime, but the NIST Cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) Program isn’t hitting the hammock! Organizations are managing growing device complexity, evolving threats, and pressure to turn guidance into operational decisions…so we remain focused on helping stakeholders apply security guidance in ways that are practical and actionable. What’s Been Happening Lately? An initial public draft (IPD) of NIST SP 800-213 Revision 1, IoT Product Cybersecurity Guidelines for the Feder…
Written by: Chester Sng, Pete Boonyakarn, Logeswaran Nadarajan, Lukasz Lamparski Introduction In early 2026, Mandiant identified a threat actor targeting SD-WAN infrastructure at a service provider. After gaining initial access, the threat actor exploited a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-20245) in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN to escalate privileges from a compromised administrative account to root-level access. The vulnerability stems from the device’s file upload feature lacking the ability to prop…
ldapnomnom claims it leaves no Windows audit logs. This post shows why Event 1644 misses LDAP Ping and where defenders can still catch it.
Self-Managed OAuth is now available to all developers on Cloudflare. Here's how we executed a zero-downtime migration of our core OAuth engine to make it happen.
The new executive order sets a 2030 migration deadline and establishes a powerful foundation for post-quantum resilience. We look at what it gets right, where it can go further, and our migration playbook for government and industry.
Two men pleaded guilty in the United Kingdom this week to criminal charges stemming from an August 2024 cyberattack that crippled Transport for London, the entity responsible for the public transport network in the Greater London area. The duo were key members of a prolific cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, and their guilty pleas came on the first day of what was expected to be a six-week trial.
Incident response plans aren't enough if the response can't activate when it matters. Discover seven signs your organization may need a cybersecurity services retainer to strengthen readiness, resilience, and incident response capabilities.
E-commerce is the second most targeted sector for cyberattacks in 2026. Get the 10 priorities every security team must act on, with Group-IB intelligence behind each.
Before you sign an incident response retainer, ask about SLA definitions, scope, hidden costs, threat profile fit, and post-incident support. Here is what to look for.
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise (Packaged CCE) and Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based management interface of an affected device. These vulnerabilities exist because the web-based management interface does not properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit these…
During the June Tradecraft Tuesday, Huntress researchers looked at device code phishing variations and why threat actors love this attack so much.
