Attackers are probing CVE-2026-119977, a WordPress Core flaw that opens only during a core update. Here’s how the race works, why the severity ratings disagree, and how to protect your sites.
AI agents are now acting on your endpoints. TrendAI Vision One™ ingests Claude Code and Cowork session records so your team can review what users asked Cowork to do, all in the same console.
TrendAI™ Research supplied intelligence over several months that helped disrupt a botnet of more than 1.3 million pre-infected set-top boxes. We look at how the operation worked, its impact, and what the disruption means for defenders.
Void Dokkaebi, a North Korea-aligned intrusion set, has updated its information-stealing malware, InvisibleFerret, shifting its delivery format to evade script-based detections.
A solo Russian-speaking threat actor ran a 5-year Telegram channel and, starting September 2025, used AI to automate its content, credential theft, and a cryptocurrency fraud scheme targeting American audiences.
In this blog entry, researchers from the TrendAI™ MDR team discuss how they mapped the full end-to-end operation of SHADOW-WATER-063’s Banana RAT banking malware by analyzing server-side artifacts and victim-side data.
AI agents now act inside the trust boundary with real credentials, and agentic governance is what keeps them from quietly breaking things at machine speed.
Our research examines the April 22 Checkmarx KICS and April 24 elementary-data incidents as part of a broader TeamPCP supply chain campaign. Across both cases, the actor abused trusted CI/CD and release workflows to steal credentials at scale.
TrendAI™ Research has identified two emerging threat campaigns—SHADOW-AETHER-040 and SHADOW-AETHER-064—that use agentic AI to drive intrusion operations against government and financial organizations in Latin America, marking these among the first cases we have observed of AI agents executing attacks from initial access to data exfiltration.
The Instructure Canvas breach affects universities, K–12 school districts, and teaching hospitals globally. This blog entry intends to provide context and practical guidance.
Targeting multiple industries worldwide, the InstallFix campaign uses fake Claude AI installer pages to trick users into running malware that collects system information, disables security features, achieves persistence, and connects to attacker-controlled C&C servers for additional payloads.
TrendAI™ Research breaks down Quasar Linux (QLNX), a previously undocumented sophisticated Linux RAT with low detection rates. In this blog, we examine a full-featured Linux threat incorporating a rootkit, a PAM backdoor, credential harvesting, and more, revealing how this malware enables stealthy access, persistence, and potential supply-chain attacks.
