A large-scale campaign recently uncovered shows how attackers abused the trust developers place in open-source hosting to distribute two dangerous malware families, SmartLoader and StealC. By cloning legitimate projects and burying malicious ZIP archives deep inside repository structures, the threat actor made harmful downloads look like routine releases.

Google Cloud and Wiz Turn Defense Into an Agentic Response to AI-Powered Attacks
Attackers and defenders are now playing with the same toys: powerful AI models that can find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in hours. At Google Cloud Next ’26, Google and Wiz unveiled a set of AI-driven defenses designed to shrink the time between discovery and remediation — and to automate much of the manual work that has left security teams lagging
Comment and Control: How GitHub Comments Became a New Prompt-Injection Threat
A new class of prompt-injection attacks—dubbed “Comment and Control”—turns GitHub pull requests, issues, and comments into attack surfaces that can hijack AI coding agents and siphon secrets directly from CI/CD environments. Unlike classic prompt injection that waits for a user to feed a document to an agent, this pattern is proactive: opening a PR or posting an issue can automatically
