According to Foresight News, Sonatype, a company specializing in end-to-end software supply chain security, has released its Open Source Malware Index Report for the second quarter of 2025. The report highlights that cryptocurrency mining malware constituted 5% of all software packages during this period, marking a slight decrease from the previous quarter.
This trend may indicate a shift in attackers' focus from resource exploitation to more covert objectives, such as credential theft and long-term infiltration. The report suggests that these changes in tactics could pose new challenges for cybersecurity efforts as attackers adapt their strategies to evade detection and achieve their goals.#Sonatype #CryptocurrencyMining #Malware #Cybersecurity #SoftwareSupplyChain #OpenSource #CredentialTheft #Q22025
🚀 New WebAuthn Vulnerability Exposes Users to Credential Theft
#WebAuthn #CredentialTheft #XSS #BrowserExtensions #PasswordDowngrade #FIDO2 #W3C #YubiKey #WindowsHello #TouchID #AndroidBiometrics #WebAuthentication #SecurityVulnerability
According to PANews, a new type of attack has been identified that can bypass WebAuthn key-based login systems. The discovery was made by 23pds, Chief Information Security Officer at SlowMist Technology, who shared the findings on the X platform. This attack allows perpetrators to hijack the WebAuthn API through malicious browser extensions or by exploiting XSS vulnerabilities on websites. Consequently, attackers can force a downgrade to password login or manipulate the key registration process to steal user credentials.
This vulnerability does not require access to the victim's device or Face ID. Users logging in with keys on compromised websites or those with malicious extensions may face identity impersonation, leading to account breaches.
WebAuthn, or Web Authentication, is a web standard developed by the W3C and FIDO Alliance. It aims to provide secure authentication through public key cryptography, either as a replacement or supplement to traditional passwords. Users can log in using hardware security keys like YubiKey, built-in platform authenticators such as Windows Hello, Touch ID, Android biometrics, or devices compliant with the FIDO2 standard.#WebAuthn #CredentialTheft #XSS #BrowserExtensions #PasswordDowngrade #FIDO2 #W3C #YubiKey #WindowsHello #TouchID #AndroidBiometrics #WebAuthentication #SecurityVulnerability

According to Cointelegraph, internet infrastructure company Cloudflare has reported that over 5% of all emails sent globally contain malicious content. The firm analyzed global email traffic over the past year and found that 5.6% of it was malicious, equating to more than one in every twenty emails containing harmful content. Notably, in November, this figure surged to nearly one in ten emails, almost doubling the annual average.
Cloudflare's 2025 year-in-review report highlights the dangers of malicious emails, which can lead to credential theft, data breaches, or financial loss. This is particularly concerning for crypto investors, as phishing attacks targeting traders, investors, and executives have become more sophisticated and frequent. Once a victim falls for a phishing link or sends cryptocurrency to a scammer, recovery is often impossible. In November, malicious emails reached 9.7%, with deceptive links being the most prevalent threat category, accounting for 52% of these emails.
Identity deception was the second most common threat, rising to 38% from 35% in 2024. Attackers often impersonate trusted individuals using spoofed domains, similar-looking domains, or display name tricks. Cloudflare identified the most abused top-level domain (TLD) extension as ".christmas," with 92.7% of emails from this domain being malicious and 7.1% being spam. Other frequently abused domains include ".lol," ".forum," ".help," ".best," and ".click."
Earlier this year, cybersecurity firm Barracuda analyzed 670 million emails, finding that email remains the most common attack vector for cyber threats. Malicious attachments and links are often used to distribute malware, launch phishing campaigns, and exploit vulnerabilities. They reported that one in four emails were unwanted spam, a quarter of all HTML attachments were malicious, and 12% of malicious PDF attachments were Bitcoin scams. In November, Hornet Security noted that email was a "consistent delivery vector" for cyberattacks in 2025, with malware-laden emails increasing by 131% year-over-year.#GlobalEmailSecurity #CloudflareReport #MaliciousEmails #PhishingAttacks #CryptoSecurity #CyberThreats #EmailSecurity #DataBreach #CredentialTheft #DeceptiveLinks #IdentityDeception #SpoofedDomains #Cyberattacks #Malware #Spam #EmailCybersecurity #TLDAbuse #BitcoinScams #HornetSecurity #CyberattackVectors #BTC

Apifox's desktop client has been targeted in a supply chain attack, according to PANews. The official CDN-hosted front-end script files were injected with highly obfuscated malicious JavaScript code. Users affected by this breach may face risks such as credential theft, sensitive data exposure, and remote command execution, with the malicious code executing automatically and remaining highly concealed.
Security firm SlowMist advises users to immediately revoke all tokens, reset passwords, log out and log back in to invalidate sessions, block the domain *.apifox.it.com, clear local storage, and review API logs and any abnormal activities.#Apifox #DesktopClient #SupplyChainAttack #MaliciousCode #JavaScript #CredentialTheft #SensitiveDataExposure #RemoteCommandExecution #SecurityBreach #SlowMist #CyberSecurity #APILogs #TokenRevoke #PasswordReset #APIReview
