ANY.RUN's Malware Trends Tracker data shows that phishing-as-a-service kits now dominate the US threat landscape, with five of the top ten threats being AiTM or device-code phishing platforms that defeat MFA by stealing session cookies or OAuth tokens. Commodity RATs and info stealers remain in constant high-volume circulation, while legacy threats like Emotet and WannaCry persist on unpatched systems. Several top-ranked threats (Cobalt Strike, Qbot, Emotet, DonutLoader, Smoke Loader) function as ransomware precursors, meaning their detection should trigger urgent escalation rather than routine handling.

US Threat Landscape Alert: 30 Active Malware Families Ranked by Real Sandbox Data ToddyCat: your hidden email assistant. Part 2 ToddyCat APT developed a tool called Umbrij that automates the theft of Google OAuth authorization codes by launching Chromium-based browsers in headless mode with remote debugging ports enabled. The tool copies the victim's browser profile to a backup directory, launches the browser invisibly with the stolen session, and uses Puppeteer Sharp to automate the Google OAuth consent flow using legitimate Google Workspace Migration/Sync client IDs. The resulting authorization code is exfiltrated and exchanged for an access token, enabling API-level access to the victim's Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Contacts without traditional credential theft.
Phishing for Lobsters: How We Tricked OpenClaw into Spilling Secrets Varonis Threat Labs demonstrated that enterprise AI agents, specifically an OpenClaw deployment, are vulnerable to traditional phishing and social engineering techniques. In simulated attacks, the agent successfully identified technical phishing indicators like malicious OAuth flows but failed to recognize social context, resulting in the exfiltration of AWS credentials and sensitive CRM data to an external attacker.
From Cookies to Keys: Why Hackers Don’t Need Your Passwords Anymore Cybercriminals are shifting from traditional credential theft to session hijacking using infostealer malware, allowing them to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). By harvesting and replaying valid session tokens using automated tools, attackers gain rapid, stealthy access to corporate environments, which is then often monetized by Initial Access Brokers.
Detecting Tycoon 2FA AiTM attacks across Entra ID and Google Workspace Tycoon 2FA is a prolific Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform utilizing Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) techniques to bypass MFA and steal session tokens across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The kit employs sophisticated evasion tactics, automated post-compromise reconnaissance, and establishes durable persistence mechanisms, such as Device-PRT in Entra ID, which survive standard session revocation procedures.
Welcome to BlackFile: Inside a Vishing Extortion Operation UNC6671, operating under the BlackFile brand, conducts sophisticated vishing and Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks to bypass MFA and compromise SSO platforms like Microsoft 365 and Okta. Once inside, the group uses automated Python and PowerShell scripts to rapidly exfiltrate sensitive data via APIs, often masking their activity as routine file access events, before launching aggressive extortion campaigns.
The Vercel Breach: The Steps To Take Now to Protect Your Organization On April 19, 2026, Vercel disclosed a critical security breach originating from a compromised third-party AI tool, Context.ai. The threat actor, ShinyHunters, utilized an infostealer to harvest OAuth tokens, bypassed MFA to access Vercel's Google Workspace, and pivoted via SSO to bulk-extract customer environment variables containing highly sensitive cloud, database, and source code credentials.
The Vercel Breach: OAuth Supply Chain Attack Exposes the Hidden Risk in Platform Environment Variables A supply chain attack leveraging a compromised third-party OAuth application (Context.ai) allowed threat actors to breach Vercel's internal systems. The attackers exploited Vercel's environment variable sensitivity model to enumerate and expose unencrypted customer secrets, leading to potential downstream credential abuse across multiple cloud and SaaS platforms.
Identity Protection in the AI Era The article highlights the critical shift towards identity-centric cybersecurity in the AI era, where human, machine, and AI-agent identities form the primary attack surface. It advocates for unified Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) to combat AI-generated phishing, insider risks, and fragmented visibility, emphasizing automated threat detection and response.
When Trust Becomes a Weapon: Google Cloud Storage Phishing Deploying Remcos RAT A sophisticated phishing campaign is abusing Google Cloud Storage to host fake Google Drive login pages, harvesting credentials before delivering the Remcos RAT. The attack employs a complex, multi-stage execution chain using JavaScript, VBScript, and PowerShell to perform process hollowing on the legitimate RegSvcs.exe binary, allowing the malware to operate stealthily in memory.
Huntress Managed ITDR for Google Workspace: Defending the New Identity Attack Surface Threat actors are increasingly targeting Google Workspace as a foundational identity layer to pivot into interconnected SaaS applications. Modern attacks bypass traditional endpoint defenses by utilizing stolen credentials, OAuth abuse, and malicious inbox rules to conduct Business Email Compromise (BEC) and maintain persistent access.
Tycoon2FA Phishing-as-a-Service Platform Persists Following Takedown Following a major law enforcement takedown of its infrastructure on March 4, 2026, the Tycoon2FA Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform has quickly reconstituted its operations. The platform continues to enable cybercriminals to bypass multifactor authentication (MFA) using Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) techniques, leading to cloud account takeovers and Business Email Compromise (BEC).
From Seconds to Story: How Huntress Managed ITDR's New Incident Report Timeline Changes Response Huntress has introduced a new Incident Report Timeline feature for its Managed ITDR platform to combat rapid, identity-driven data exfiltration in cloud environments. This feature provides a chronological narrative of attacker actions and response efforts, enabling faster decision-making and better communication for security teams and MSPs.
Inside Tycoon2FA: How a leading AiTM phishing kit operated at scale Tycoon2FA is a widespread Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) Phishing-as-a-Service platform operated by the threat actor Storm-1747. It enables cybercriminals to bypass standard multifactor authentication (MFA) at scale by intercepting session cookies and credentials using spoofed sign-in pages, custom CAPTCHAs, and complex redirect chains.
Europol, Microsoft, TrendAI™ and Collaborators Halt Tycoon 2FA Operations A coordinated international law enforcement and private sector operation successfully disrupted Tycoon 2FA, a prominent Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform. The service enabled low-skill attackers to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) using adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) techniques to harvest credentials and session cookies, which were subsequently used for BEC and ransomware attacks.
