Trojan-Resilient NTT: Protecting against Control Flow and Timing Faults on Reconfigurable Platforms

Number Theoretic Transform NTT is the most essential component for polynomial multiplications used in lattice-based Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC algorithms such as Kyber, Dilithium, NTRU etc. However, side-channel attacks SCA and hardware vulnerabilities in the form of hardware Trojans may alter...

Fake Python Spellchecker Packages on PyPI Delivered Hidden Remote Access Trojan

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two malicious packages in the Python Package Index PyPI repository that masquerade as spellcheckers but contain functionality to deliver a remote access trojan RAT. The packages, named spellcheckerpy and spellcheckpy , are no longer available on PyPI, but...

Konni Hackers Deploy AI-Generated PowerShell Backdoor Against Blockchain Developers

The North Korean threat actor known as Konni has been observed using PowerShell malware generated using artificial intelligence AI tools to target developers and engineering teams in the blockchain sector. The phishing campaign has targeted Japan, Australia, and India, highlighting the adversary'...

Explainability Methods for Hardware Trojan Detection: A Systematic Comparison

Hardware trojan detection requires accurate identification and interpretable explanations for security engineers to validate and act on results. This work compares three explainability categories for gate-level trojan detection on the Trust-Hub benchmark: 1 domain-aware property-based analysis of...

TrojanGYM: A Detector-In-The-Loop LLM for Adaptive RTL Hardware Trojan Insertion

Hardware Trojans HTs remain a critical threat because learning-based detectors often overfit to narrow trigger/payload patterns and small, stylized benchmarks. We introduce TrojanGYM, an agentic, LLM-driven framework that automatically curates HT insertions to expose detector blind spots while...

ThreatsDay Bulletin: Pixel Zero-Click, Redis RCE, China C2s, RAT Ads, Crypto Scams & 15+ Stories

Most of this week's threats didn't rely on new tricks. They relied on familiar systems behaving exactly as designed, just in the wrong hands. Ordinary files, routine services, and trusted workflows were enough to open doors without forcing them. What stands out is how little friction attackers no...

Can you use too many LOLBins to drop some RATs?

Recently, our team came across an infection attempt that stood out—not for its sophistication, but for how determined the attacker was to take a “living off the land” approach to the extreme. The end goal was to deploy Remcos , a Remote Access Trojan RAT, and NetSupport Manager , a legitimate...

Hackers Use LinkedIn Messages to Spread RAT Malware Through DLL Sideloading

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new phishing campaign that exploits social media private messages to propagate malicious payloads, likely with the intent to deploy a remote access trojan RAT. The activity delivers "weaponized files via Dynamic Link Library DLL sideloading, combined wit...
