Attackers weaponize trust with HTML QR phishing, multi-stage AsyncRAT, fake Fortinet VPNs, OAST campaigns, LLM SSRF, SSH and RMM abuse.
Knownsec leak exposes Chinese cyber-espionage tools, npm supply-chain attacks use blockchain C2, malicious Chrome extensions steal AI chats, and WhatsApp becomes a worm vector.
Offensive-focused notes on npm supply chain backdoors, Pyarmor stealth stealers, socially engineered RATs, GRU phishing, and weaponized AI safety.
