Law enforcement dismantled massive cryptocurrency fraud rings, a Chinese cybercrime group expanded its global phishing footprint, and attackers exploited a critical authentication bypass in Palo Alto VPN portals.
This is the Good, Bad & Ugly. ⬇️
✅ GOOD
- Spanish National Police arrested a suspect connected to a massive data leak exposing sensitive government employee information.
- The U.S. Treasury officially sanctioned Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, for facilitating ransomware payments.
- The DoJ disrupted widespread transnational cryptocurrency investment fraud networks across Southeast Asia, freezing $3.8 million in stolen digital assets.
⚠️ BAD
- China-linked threat actor TA4922 is aggressively expanding its financially-motivated phishing campaigns into Europe and South America.
- Attackers shift victim communications to out-of-band channels like WhatsApp and Teams to bypass enterprise security controls.
- The group uses DLL side-loading to deploy advanced remote access trojans and secondary executables to harvest sensitive corporate data.
🤢 UGLY
- Palo Alto Networks confirmed that threat actors are actively exploiting a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in GlobalProtect VPN portals.
- Attackers retrieve public keys via standard HTTPS sessions to generate forged authentication cookies, frequently targeting local administrator accounts.
- CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog as attackers successfully secured full VPN IP assignments to access internal networks.

Five years ago, @labscon_io started as an ambitious experiment. Could we build a brand-new conference centered entirely on original security research? Could we create a venue where the work spoke louder than the marketing, where researchers challenged assumptions, shared discoveries, and pushed the industry forward?
The answer has been an emphatic yes.
As we prepare for LABScon 2026, we're excited to announce that this will be the final edition of LABScon.
If we're going to close this chapter, we're going to do it the only way we know how: by putting together the strongest program we've ever had.
This year, we're looking for the work that will define what's next. The boldest ideas, the uncomfortable findings, the research that changes how we think about this unknown era that’s upon us.
The final LABScon CFP is open now and closes June 19.
To everyone who has spoken, attended, sponsored, volunteered, debated, argued, collaborated, and helped make LABScon what it became, thank you. What started as a conference became a real community, and we're incredibly proud of what we built together.
Every project has a lifecycle. We're ending this one on our terms, at its peak, with gratitude for everything it accomplished and excitement for what comes next ;) See you in Phoenix!

The market is moving from detections and alerts to autonomously anticipating and stopping threats. SentinelOne just earned Latio's inaugural SOC Platform Leader designation—validation that we're one of very few vendors with the architecture to make that shift real.

Why it matters: SOC transformation projects fail when teams bolt automation onto fragmented tools. You can't automate your way out of point solutions. The machine runs faster, but so does the noise. True transformation requires rebuilding the foundation. That's rare.
What's new: Latio recognized SentinelOne as a SOC Platform Leader because our architecture is fundamentally different—not bolted-together point solutions, but one unified data plane, one AI analyst (Purple AI) running cross-domain investigations from endpoint to cloud to identity. The outcome: your team finds threats faster.
What makes transformation real:
- Unified architecture removes integration debt and vendor finger-pointing—cross-domain investigations run at machine speed
- Purple AI operationalizes triage, hunting, and escalation natively, learning from your data across endpoints, cloud, and identity
- Singularity AI Data Pipelines embeds pre-ingestion normalization and enrichment—signal reaches your decision loop, not noise

One actor establishes access. Another deploys a more advanced espionage platform to exploit it. The division of labor, documented.
Full technical breakdown from Faou and Rusnák, presented at LABScon 2025 → https://t.co/DlEpcKn8OK
For the first time, there's technical evidence that Gamaredon and Turla aren't just parallel Russian threats — they're working together.
At @labscon_io 2025, @matthieu_faou and Zoltán Rusnák presented direct evidence of operational collaboration between the two groups. Across incidents observed between February and June 2025, Gamaredon's own tooling — PteroGraphin and PteroOdd — was used to deploy Turla's Kazuar backdoor on already-compromised systems. In at least one case, Gamaredon restored Turla's access after the group had lost its foothold.
Gamaredon is one of the most active espionage actors targeting Ukraine. The group relies on relentless spearphishing and fast operational tempo to compromise military and government organizations. That access is what Turla exploited.
The research also examines Kazuar v2 and v3 — Turla's flagship backdoor — and what those versions reveal about how sophisticated implants are sustained inside contested networks.
Law enforcement took down a Russian-linked hosting network, a ransomware group escalated to dispatching physical operatives for data extortion, and a massive supply chain campaign targets developer environments and AI tools.
This is the Good, Bad & Ugly. ⬇️
✅ GOOD
- Dutch authorities dismantled Stark Industries, seizing 800 servers used to enable pro-Russian DDoS and disinformation campaigns.
- A Romanian hacker received a 56-month federal prison sentence for breaching the Oregon state government network and stealing PII.
⚠️ BAD
- The FBI warns that Silent Ransom Group is targeting U.S. legal and financial institutions with in-person data extortion schemes.
- Attackers use typosquatted helpdesk domains, and if remote access fails, deliberately dispatch physical operatives to manually insert USBs into company computers.
- The attackers then harass employees and clients by phone to force financial negotiations under the threat of leaking proprietary data.
🤢 UGLY
- Security researchers uncovered TrapDoor, a massive supply chain attack spreading credential-stealing malware across npm, PyPI, and https://t.co/gWl4xitMMS.
- The campaign leverages registry-specific execution methods to harvest sensitive developer secrets, cloud credentials, and cryptocurrency wallets.
- Threat actors uniquely implant poisoned files designed to trick AI coding assistants into autonomously executing malicious security scans.

Law enforcement took down cybercrime operations and attacker-controlled VPNs, a multi-brand spoofing macOS infostealer slips past OS mitigations, and Microsoft Defender faces zero-day exploits.
This is the Good, Bad & Ugly. ⬇️
✅ GOOD
- INTERPOL coordinates 201 arrests across the MENA region in a massive cybercrime sweep.
- Ukraine identifies an infostealer operator behind 28,000 stolen credentials.
- International police seize a dedicated commercial VPN provider used explicitly for ransomware exfiltration.
⚠️ BAD
- SentinelOne identifies "SHub Reaper," a new macOS stealer variant that impersonates Apple, Google, and Microsoft in a single attack chain.
- Bypasses Apple's new Terminal security mitigations by abusing the native AppleScript URL handler.
Acts as both a smash-and-grab credential thief and a persistent backdoor for remote access.
🤢 UGLY
- Microsoft warns that attackers are actively exploiting two new Windows Defender zero-day vulnerabilities in the wild.
- Security flaws (CVE-2026-41091 & CVE-2026-45498) allow privilege escalation to SYSTEM level and DoS on core endpoint engines.
- CISA sounds the alarm, ordering federal agencies to secure all Windows endpoints urgently.

Turn blind trust into verified control with @prompt_security for Agentic AI.
AI agents use trusted workflows and permissions to bypass traditional security. They act and execute.
They hold credentials. Call APIs. Modify data. Chain actions across business-critical systems, at machine speed, without per-step human approval. Every agent in your environment is a non-human identity reasoning, deciding, and executing on your behalf.
Most security teams can't tell you how many are running right now.
That's the gap. And it's why we built Prompt for Agentic AI Security, SentinelOne's real-time discovery and governance control plane for the agentic layer.
It surfaces every agent and MCP server across your environment (sanctioned or shadow). It maps what each one can reach, what it can do, and what permissions it holds. It scores risk dynamically. It enforces least privilege before unauthorized action chains can fire. And it gives you a full audit trail of every decision an agent made and every system it touched.
Security shouldn’t be the reason your organization can't adopt agents. It should empower you to adopt them with confidence.

Semantic robustness ≠ architectural security.
You can have an unbreakable intent classifier and still have defenseless architecture. Blocking meaning doesn't block structure. And the attackers already know this. The question is whether your guardrails do.
Read the full case study: https://t.co/oNAJH3GBtH
We red-teamed a government AI built to refuse everything outside its lane.
At first, it blocked everything. Every semantic attack. Every jailbreak. Then we stopped attacking the meaning and started attacking the structure.
We wrapped a phishing payload in JSON and asked for "test data." The system generated working malicious code. We encoded a forbidden instruction in Base64 and asked it to "decode and execute." It did. We chained the two into a compound attack — and the system handed over a near-verbatim copy of its own system prompt.
The lesson isn't that this bot was weak. It wasn't. The lesson is that every guardrail it had was watching for the wrong thing.
The lesson for defenders isn't "watch for Reaper." It's that brand recognition is not a signal of safety — it signals the attack. Unexpected AppleScript activity, outbound traffic after Script Editor runs, LaunchAgents in trusted-vendor namespaces — that's where to look.
Full research from @philofishal: https://t.co/BdhXT7HnFs
A new macOS stealer called Reaper — a SHub variant tracked by @LabsSentinel — runs an infection chain where each stage hides behind a different trusted brand:
- The lure: a fake WeChat or Miro installer
- The delivery: a typo-squatted domain, mlcrosoft[.]co[.]com
- The execution: dressed up as an Apple XProtectRemediator security update
- The persistence: a fake Google Software Update directory, beaconing every 60 seconds
Microsoft, Apple, Google — in that order, in one chain. The victim never sees a single unfamiliar name.
What it does once it's in:
- Harvests browser data, keychain credentials, and crypto wallets (Exodus, Atomic, Ledger Live, Electrum, Trezor Suite)
- Runs an AMOS-style Filegrabber against Desktop and Documents — .docx, .key, .wallet, .rdp, and more — capped at 150MB, uploaded in 70MB chunks
- Replaces legitimate wallet apps with compromised versions to intercept future activity
- Installs a persistent backdoor disguised as GoogleUpdate, capable of executing remote code on demand
