Your APIs are leaking data and you don't know it🤯 Most breaches don't exploit the firewall or endpoint protection. They exploit your APIs - the undocumented endpoints developers forgot existed, authentication flaws that let anyone request customer data, logic gaps that bypass rate limiting. Traditional penetration testing checks web applications. Your APIs remain untested until attackers find them first. Penti's Agentic AI autonomously maps your entire API surface (documented and hidden), tests hundreds of attack scenarios, and validates real exploitability with human expert verification. You get reproducible proof of authorization failures, data exposure risks, and business logic flaws—not just scanner noise. Unlimited retesting catches regressions before they reach production. Transform API security from an afterthought into continuous validation. 🎯 Launch your API pentest → https://lnkd.in/d6-a_kxh #APISecurity #PenetrationTesting #CyberSecurity #DevSecOps #DataProtection

🚨 **Attackers are using the Claude AI brand to hack developers. And it's working.** A fake site — claude-pro[.]com — is advertising "Claude-Pro Relay" as a high-performance tool for Claude Code developers. The only thing on the page is a download button. Click it and you get a 505MB archive that installs a brand new Windows backdoor called Beagle. The kicker? It's being pushed through Google sponsored search results. The traffic is encrypted with a hardcoded AES key so it looks like normal HTTPS to anyone watching the wire. Once installed, Beagle gives attackers full remote access: shell execution, file transfer, directory listing, self-removal, and anti-VM protections to avoid detection. And this isn't an isolated incident. Claude has grown to nearly 290 million web visits per month — making it an unusually attractive lure. Developers integrating AI tools have elevated permissions and routine access to credentials, CI/CD secrets, and internal systems. That's exactly why they're being targeted. The rules haven't changed — the bait has just gotten smarter: ✅ Only download AI tools from official domains ✅ Skip sponsored search results for any software installer ✅ If you see NOVupdate.exe files on a system — you're compromised 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g3nbtFJG #Cybersecurity #Malware #InfoSec #AIThreats #SocialEngineering #Developers #ThreatIntelligence #CyberRisk #Phishing #DevSec

Your AI tools are being used against you right now. While you were building, hackers were watching. They just injected malware into 42 popular npm packages used by AI developers. The target: your API keys, your credentials, your machine. The nasty part? Deleting the infected files doesn't fix it. The malware embeds itself into Claude Code and VS Code and survives a reboot. And here's the detail most people aren't talking about: If you panic and revoke your API tokens before isolating your machine first, the malware wipes your entire root directory. It is designed to punish you for trying to fight back. Here's how to know if you're affected: ✅ You only use Claude at claude.ai in your browser → You're fine. Keep scrolling. ⚠️ You use Claude Code via terminal OR install npm packages for AI development → Assume you may be affected. If that's you, do this now: 1. ISOLATE the machine before you do anything else 2. Rotate your Anthropic API keys at console.anthropic.com 3. Rotate keys for every other LLM provider you use (OpenAI, Google, Mistral, etc.) 4. Run a full system scan 5. Audit your node_modules for unexpected packages 6. Only then revoke tokens This isn't hypothetical. Multiple cybersecurity firms have confirmed and documented this campaign. The attack surface for AI builders is expanding faster than most people realize. The builders who survive the next few years won't just be the ones who move fast. They'll be the ones who move smart. Share this if someone in your network builds with AI tools. This one matters. #CyberSecurity #DeveloperSecurity #ClaudeCode

AI doesn't just enhance security; it multiplies attack vectors. As agentic AI systems gain file and network access, vulnerabilities escalate from simple data leaks to autonomous lateral movement threats. 1. Linux faces a second severe vulnerability in two weeks, putting millions of systems at risk of compromise. 2. A critical flaw in PrestaShop allows attackers to hijack sites via the "Contact Us" form, emphasizing the need for immediate patching. 3. Sumit Dhawan at RSAC 2026 highlights how AI is reshaping the threat landscape, presenting both risks and defensive opportunities. Security teams must consider the dual-edged nature of AI. Action: Prioritize patching Linux systems immediately via the latest advisories. Reshare this if your network should know. https://lnkd.in/dXMAqUe8 Is AI a security ally or adversary? #NerdieNews #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #ThreatIntel Stay sharp. Stay secure.

In the race to becoming more efficient, we neglect security and avoid risks. This past 2 weeks, thousands of hidden malicious codes were detected in downloadable Claude and Open Claw skills. Skills are being installed, and a code starts running in the background. Some records your activity and credentials, some expose your laptop to an attack. Are you aware of what your employees are doing? Does your organization have a secured strategy for deploying AI ? #Security #AIrisks PointerTech IT Solutions https://lnkd.in/e_r8PBt9

The rapid adoption of AI-powered development tools is creating unforeseen and critical security vulnerabilities. Recent research by Dor Zvi at RedAccess reveals a stark reality: thousands of 'vibe-coded' applications built with tools like Lovable, Base44, Replit, and Netlify are spilling highly sensitive corporate and personal data onto the open internet. Over 5,000 of these AI-generated web apps were found with virtually no security or authentication. Alarmingly, nearly 2,000 of them revealed private data including medical records, financial statements, corporate strategies, and customer PII. This is not about complex hacks; it's about basic public accessibility via a simple URL. This presents a severe risk for data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational damage. It underscores the urgent need for robust security audits and a fundamental re-evaluation of security protocols for any application developed using AI-driven platforms, regardless of the speed of deployment. #viral #trending #trend #cybersecurity #dataprivacy #aialgorithms #techsecurity #infosec #aidata #dataleak #softwaredevelopment #aiethics #webdev #redaccess #digitalprivacy #vibeapps #datasecurity #automation

🚨 Security Alert: OAuth Tokens in Claude Code Exposed to Theft via Stealthy MCP Hijacking 🔍 Key Discovery Researchers have identified a critical vulnerability in Claude Code, Anthropic's tool for AI-assisted coding. Attackers can steal OAuth tokens discreetly through MCP server hijacking (Model Control Protocol), allowing unauthorized access to accounts and sensitive data without alerting the user. ⚠️ How the Attack Works - 🔒 MCP hijacking exploits Claude Code's integration with external servers to intercept tokens during coding sessions. - 🕵️♂️ It is stealthy because it does not require direct user interaction nor generate obvious logs, facilitating the theft of OAuth credentials. - 💻 Impact: Exposure of code repositories, GitHub integrations and other connected services, potentially leading to larger breaches in enterprise environments. 🛡️ Mitigation Measures - 🔄 Immediately update Claude Code to the latest version for security patches. - 🛡️ Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strict monitoring of OAuth tokens in your development workflows. - 📋 Conduct regular audits of MCP servers and limit access to AI integrations to reduce risks. This threat highlights the need for constant vigilance in generative AI tools.
