David Shipley reports from Seoul on major threats: Malwarebytes details Infinity Stealer, a new macOS info-stealer delivered via "ClickFix" social engineering and built as a compiled Python payload (Nuitka) that steals browser credentials, Keychain data, crypto wallets, and developer secrets while notifying attackers via Telegram. Proofpoint links Russia-aligned TA446 (Cold River/Star Blizzard) to spear-phishing using the DarkSword iOS exploit kit to deliver GhostBlade, with DarkSword now leaked on GitHub and Apple pushing unusual on-device warnings for vulnerable iOS versions. Rapid7 describes China-linked "Red Menshen" using the kernel-level BPFdoor backdoor to persist in global telecom networks. TeamTNT compromises the Telnyx PyPI package with WAV-steganography payloads that steal secrets and target Kubernetes. Iran-linked activity includes a symbolic FBI director email breach and escalating, deliberate healthcare disruption via attacks on Stryker and a Pay2Key incident.
