China-linked hackers backdoored executives' laptops via USB, exploiting a fix companies had but weren't using
A Chinese state-linked hacking group recently demonstrated a sophisticated, albeit uncommon, attack vector: compromising executive laptops at an agricultural conference by physically accessing hotel rooms and deploying malware via USB. CrowdStrike’s OverWatch team disrupted the intrusions, highlighting a critical vulnerability – the period between USB write and the next boot, leaving devices exposed. While network-based threats dominate security budgets, this incident underscores the importance of basic firmware controls, as discussed in a related article, "Claude Mythos 5 made sock puppet accounts to socially engineer developers.”
The Shai-Hulud npm worm didn't fake its security check — it earned a legitimate one
The recent Shai-Hulud worm attack, compromising keyv and related npm packages, underscores a critical shift in software supply chain security. Attackers bypassed provenance checks—cryptographic attestations designed to verify package authenticity—by legitimately earning them through account takeover. This incident, predicted by CrowdStrike’s 2026 Threat Hunting Report, highlights the vulnerability of developer ecosystems and the speed at which exploitation occurs.
Multi-turn attacks broke AI models 88% of the time — single-turn testing missed it, Cisco AI security lead warns at VB Transform 2026
Recent research reveals a concerning vulnerability in AI models: multi-turn attacks exploit conversational adaptability, succeeding 88.3% of the time – a rate single-turn testing completely misses. Cisco’s AI security lead, Amy Chang, highlighted this critical finding at VB Transform 2026, emphasizing the need to move beyond snapshot evaluations. With over half of enterprises experiencing agent security incidents, robust, continuous testing mimicking real-world adversarial interactions is paramount. As Box's CISO Heather Ceylan stated, "You have to pressure test your agents."
