    Law enforcement hits StealC and Amadey malware networks

    Jun 25, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    Law enforcement agencies from multiple countries, with support from Microsoft and Proofpoint, have disrupted the infrastructure behind the StealC and Amadey malware families. Over 326 servers and 142 domains were taken down, and nearly €41 million in cryptocurrency was frozen. The operation highlights the collaborative effort to combat cybercrime and the use of AI to link separate malware operations.

    The FrontierCyber benchmark from Irregular drops AI models onto live systems—phones, databases, networks—with no planted bugs or hints. It scores difficulty before runs and credits partial progress via canary strings and markers. Early tests reveal models discovering new vulnerabilities and chaining exploits across real-world targets.

    Where IT meets OT and railway cybersecurity gets harder

    Jun 25, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    In an interview, Jorge Aldegunde of DNV discusses the cybersecurity challenges posed by merging IT and OT in monorail systems. Open networks have expanded attack surfaces, while patching critical components without service disruption remains a liability minefield. The article covers regulatory shifts like CRA and NIS2, training veteran engineers, and detecting long-term intruders. A risk-based, resilience-focused approach is essential.
    Praxen: Open-source AI agent behavior verification

    Praxen: Open-source AI agent behavior verification

    Jun 25, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    Praxen is an open-source tool designed to verify whether AI agents behave as claimed. It uses a Worker Remit policy document to define an agent's authorized actions, then analyzes source code, logs, and configurations to detect policy-implementation gaps. The tool generates detailed HTML and JSON reports, tagging findings with OWASP standards. Praxen helps teams ensure consistency between intended and actual agent behavior before deployment.
    Bitcoin developers want to fix the 'replace this transaction with a higher fee' button. Here's why

    Bitcoin developers want to fix the 'replace this transaction with a higher fee' button. Here's why

    Jun 24, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    Bitcoin developers are coordinating to remove the explicit replace-by-fee (RBF) signal from wallet software, as full-RBF is now the default network policy. The legacy opt-in flag has become both redundant and a privacy risk, acting as a fingerprint that reveals wallet usage. By adopting a common default sequence number (MAX-2), developers aim to make transactions from different wallets indistinguishable, enhancing user privacy.
    Ethereum validators asked to fund projects with up to 10% of staking rewards under new proposal

    Ethereum validators asked to fund projects with up to 10% of staking rewards under new proposal

    Jun 24, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    A new governance proposal on Ethereum's research forum suggests validators redirect 0% to 10% of their staking rewards to fund shared ecosystem infrastructure and public goods. If a majority of validators signal support for a nonzero rate, the contribution becomes mandatory for all. Supporters say it could channel tens of thousands of ETH annually into underfunded projects, while critics warn of coercion risks.
    Ethereum's biggest 'sandwich' bot drained of $7.5 million in ironic exploit

    Ethereum's biggest 'sandwich' bot drained of $7.5 million in ironic exploit

    Jun 24, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    An attacker siphoned over $7.5 million from the infamous Ethereum sandwich bot jaredfromsubway.eth by tricking it into approving malicious contracts. The exploit leveraged the bot's own automated logic rather than a code vulnerability, turning a machine designed to profit from others into a victim. This incident underscores the growing sophistication of attacks in the MEV landscape, where bots that dominate Ethereum transactions can themselves be exploited.
    AI is making crypto security cheaper, faster and harder to ignore

    AI is making crypto security cheaper, faster and harder to ignore

    Jun 24, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    AI-powered security tools are dramatically lowering the cost of smart contract audits and enabling continuous code reviews, potentially changing what the crypto industry considers reasonable due diligence. While AI can uncover coding flaws faster and cheaper, researchers caution it cannot replace human judgment or prevent many of crypto's biggest losses, which often stem from social engineering and operational failures. The launch of tools like Mythos marks a shift in how developers and institutions approach security. This article examines the implications for the crypto ecosystem.

    Microsoft found malware that hijacks crypto wallets and spreads through USB sticks

    Jun 24, 2026  Twila Rosenbaum
    Microsoft has identified malware dubbed Trojan:Win32/CryptoBandits, a crypto clipper worm that has been spreading since February via infected USB drives. The malware monitors clipboard activity for private keys and seed phrases, then silently swaps wallet addresses to steal cryptocurrency. It propagates by replacing documents on USB drives with malicious shortcut files. Microsoft urges users to disable AutoRun and block .lnk execution on USB media.
