Kaspersky researchers reveal previously undocumented malware attributed to Mirage Kitten (UNC1549, Smoke Sandstorm, Nimbus Manticore): NightLedger backdoor, ArcBridge, and BridgeHead tunneling tools.
For a long time, AutoIT[1] has been pretty common in the malware ecosystem. Threat actors still use it because it's easy to write and powerful. Indeed, it can perform all the required actions to inject a payload into a remote process as you'll see below.
Microsoft has launched its first cybersecurity-specific model inside MDASH, its multi-model vulnerability identification and remediation harness. The company says MDASH, using MAI-Cyber-1-Flash and GPT-5.4, scored 95.95% on CyberGym. It also claims the configuration costs 50% less than its current best MDASH combination of GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 mini, and GPT-5.3 Codex. Access is limited to approved
