A newly observed ClickFix campaign is pushing beyond simple user-triggered infections, introducing a more persistent and stealthy intrusion chain using PySoxy, a 10-year-old open-source Python SOCKS5 proxy. Unlike traditional ClickFix attacks that rely on a single PowerShell execution, this campaign builds a layered access model. A single user action typically executing a malicious PowerShell command […]

Ransomware is evolving faster than many defenses can keep up. In 2026, attackers are no longer just encrypting files they are systematically dismantling security tools, stealing sensitive data, and even preparing for a post-quantum future. Despite a slight global decline in ransomware incidents, the threat remains deeply entrenched and increasingly sophisticated. In the manufacturing sector […]

Cybersecurity researchers are calling attention to a new campaign dubbed GemStuffer that has targeted the RubyGems repository with more than 150 gems that use the registry as a data exfiltration channel rather than for malware distribution. “The packages do not appear designed for mass developer compromise,” Socket said. “Many have little or no download activity, and the payloads are repetitive,

Infostealer malware is no longer just a consumer nuisance it has become a direct bridge between personal device infections and full-scale enterprise breaches. Once these credentials are harvested and posted on dark web forums, attackers gain immediate footholds into corporate environments. A long-standing assumption in cybersecurity is that infostealers primarily target gamers downloading cracked software. […]

Hackers are abusing fake download sites for popular tools like FinalShell and Xshell to deliver a new remote access trojan known as Kong RAT, in a highly staged and stealthy campaign that ran from at least May 2025 through March 2026. In this campaign, attackers poisoned search engine results so that Chinese‑speaking developers and IT […]

In a sudden about-face, Pentagon leaders are asking the White House to restore funding for the E-7 Wedgetail, even after the Air Force sought to spend the money on satellites instead of the next-generation radar plane.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told House appropriators on Tuesday that the Pentagon has sent a budget amendment to the White House after funding for the E-7 was zeroed out of the 2027 budget request. Hegseth, in response to a question from Rep. Tom Cole, said the early warning aircraft will be crucial for future conflicts.
“I know our department had taken the position that it was airborne or other satellite ISR that was probably going to be capable of a lot of that in the future, but I think that mindset was indicative of a mindset that we’ve shed, which is the divest-to-invest mindset,” Hegseth said. “Which was an austerity mindset that we’re going to get in continuing resolution after continuing resolution, so we have got to get rid of these platforms in order to invest in these platforms. And there are gaps that need to still be filled, and there are systems that still need to be funded that are used on the battlefield right now.”
Last year, Hegseth echoed Air Force arguments that the proper replacement for the E-3 Sentry—aka the AWACS—is new-technology satellites, not the E-7, which he said was too vulnerable for modern conflict. The service itself asked to zero out funding for the plane in its 2026 budget request, but lawmakers allocated more than $1 billion for it.
One E-3s was heavily damaged during the Iran war, and only a few others remain.
Air Force officials have hinted in recent weeks that E-7 funding could return, but have also announced plans for major spending on space-based systems, such as $7 billion for a new airborne moving-target communication capability.
“The capability that the E-7 will provide is an important capability, and so we need to look at what we're going to do,” Air Force Secretary Troy Meink told reporters at Space Symposium in Colorado last month. “We're finalizing those decisions within the Pentagon about how we want to do that, and we'll roll that out to the Hill when it's appropriate.”
Late last month, Meink told House lawmakers that the Air Force is planning to buy five E-7s in addition to the two prototypes under contract.
An Air Force spokesperson told Defense One that while the budget request does not include Wedgetail funding, “the Air Force is evaluating options to resource the E-7 program in FY 2027 to deliver Rapid Prototyping aircraft and continue Engineering and Manufacturing Development activities.”
Amid the damage to the E-3and losses of aging tankers during the Iran war, former military leaders have told Defense One that key upgrades to battlespace awareness technology and AWACS replacements need to be prioritized.
"I think it has a future,” Hegseth said, referring to the Wedgetail. “It has a place on the battlefield."
