A new Mirai-derived botnet called Tengu can use a compromised Linux device’s hardware watchdog to trigger a reboot when defenders kill its main process. If that happens, Tengu’s other persistence mechanisms get another chance to relaunch it. Nozomi Networks Labs observed the dropper reaching its honeypots through Telnet credential brute force. Tengu supports 25 distributed denial-of-service (

JFrog has confirmed that OpenAI models exploited a zero-day in self-hosted Artifactory while trying to reach the open internet from a sealed evaluation environment. Artifactory is JFrog’s software repository manager. OpenAI says the models then escalated privileges and moved laterally until they reached an internet-connected node. JFrog says it has since developed and released fixes for cloud

A highly convincing malvertising campaign is targeting macOS users searching for “how to install Claude Code on Mac,” delivering the MacSync infostealer through a trusted-looking workflow that abuses legitimate infrastructure rather than exploiting software vulnerabilities. The attack highlights a growing shift toward trust-based compromise, where attackers weaponize authentic platforms such as Google Ads and claude.ai […]

OpenWrt has shipped version 24.10.8 to close a critical DHCPv6 stack overflow and a wider set of remotely triggerable flaws in network services enabled by default. The critical issue, tracked as CVE-2026-53921 and rated 9.8 on CVSS 3.1 in OpenWrt’s GitHub advisory, lets an unauthenticated attacker able to reach the DHCPv6 server overwrite a stack buffer in odhcpd through a crafted DHCPv6

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jul. 28, 2026Meta is facing penalties of up to a massive $1.4 trillion from four U.S. states that sued the company over the addictive designs of Facebook and Instagram, Reuters reported. Those states — California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey — also accused the company of misleading the public about the safety of those apps. The figure, not previously disclosed, is close to Meta’s $1.5 trillion market capitalization.
Engadget reports that at a court hearing last month, the states said they calculated the penalties by estimating the number of young users affected by Meta’s platforms and multiplying that by fines set by state law. Meta revealed the figure in response to a request from the states’ attorneys general on how penalties should be calculated, but said that the amount was unjustified. “A sanction of that size has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement,” Meta’s lawyers wrote in the court filing.
Mark Zuckerberg’s company is facing additional lawsuits from 29 other states not part of the $1.4 trillion suits. Most of those allege that the company violated the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting data from kids without the required parental consent.
A trial is set for August.
Heather Engel, a regular cybersecurity guest expert on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast, joins our host and Deputy Editor Amanda Glassner for a discussion on the allegations against Meta, and their response.

The takedown of the Kratos phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform in July 2026 has done little to slow the broader threat landscape. As security researchers warn that its leaked techniques and infrastructure patterns are already being repurposed in ongoing campaigns targeting Microsoft 365 environments. Despite being disrupted under Operation Olympus Blade, which led to the seizure of […]
