An undeclared executable bundled with Hola Browser for Windows (version 1.251.91.0) that later proved to be a crypto‑miner. The binary, written to C:\Program Files\Hola\me.exe in affected installs, was not part of the certified footprint, lacked code signing and a timestamp, contained obfuscated code and memory‑write capabilities. Analysis identified miner‑related strings, XMRig indicators, and behavior to […]

Trend Micro’s Deep Security Agent for Linux contains a design flaw in its behavior-monitoring stack that allows a local, unprivileged attacker to repeatedly force short “blind spots” in which endpoint protections are temporarily bypassed. The issue stems from how the agent unloads and reloads its bmhook and tmhook kernel modules under heavy local event load, […]

Eighteen months ago, the AI SOC was a marketing line. Today it’s a budget item. The category has crossed over from interesting to inevitable, with billions of dollars now flowing into AI-powered security operations platforms, agentic SOC tools, and AI co-pilots built into every layer of the security stack. The data shows SOCs are buying, deploying, and standing up AI capabilities at the fastest
