Where can I find language that people use when they are about to violate or thinking of violating some cybersecurity, data sharing or some other internal policy and commit a crime? For example this article [https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/fired-hacker-twins-forget-to-end-teams-recording-capture-own-crimes/](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/fired-hacker-twins-forget-to-end-teams-recording-capture-own-crimes/) details the verbal communication between the two brother who deleted federal databases and then tried to cover their tracks afterwards. \---: “Still connected? Still on the VPN?” \---: “Delete all their databases?” \---: “Eh, they can recover them…backups, I’m pretty sure.” \---: “Daily backups?” \---: “Yup.” Where can I find more output like this that is in the public domain and free for anyone to use, even if at least some kind of attribution is needed. I've largely searched reddit for more than a week but I'm coming up really short on these types of threads. I guess no one would be talking online about how they committed a crime. So my guess is I'm not looking in the right place. Any guidance you can give on where I can find more clear cut communication like in the one above would be appreciated.

Zyxel super-admin credential leak expanded from one router image to CPE/ONT/LTE/5G devices + password gen algorithm.
I did some restyling and cleanup on Zyxel CVE-2021-35036 writeup and wanted to re-share it here. A Zyxel credential leak that started with one VMG3625-T50B firmware image later expanded across a much wider set of CPE, ONT, LTE, and 5G devices. A low-privileged router session could reach backend DAL endpoints that returned supervisor/admin account data, FTPS credentials, and TR-069 management secrets. So the practical impact was closer to post-login privilege escalation and remote-management exposure than a boring “passwords exist in config” bug. The writeup also includes a firmware lab where I ran Zyxel’s own password generator under QEMU and traced the deterministic supervisor password routines.

Lawmakers in both houses of Congress are demanding answers from the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) after KrebsOnSecurity reported this week that a CISA contractor intentionally published AWS GovCloud keys and a vast trove of other agency secrets on a public GitHub account. The inquiry comes as CISA is still struggling to contain the breach and invalidate the leaked credentials. On May 18, KrebsOnSecurity reported that a CISA contractor with administrative access to the agency’s code development platform had created a public GitHub profile called “ Private-CISA ” that included plaintext credentials to dozens of internal CISA systems. Experts who reviewed the exposed secrets said the commit logs for the code repository showed the CISA contractor disabled GitHub’s built-in protection against publishing sensitive credentials in public repos. CISA acknowledged the leak but has not responded to questions about the duration of the data exposure. However, experts who reviewed the now-defunct Private-CISA archive said it was originally created in November 2025, and that it exhibits a pattern consistent with an individual operator using the repository as a working scratchpad or synchronizati

"When performing security assessments on HTTP-based applications, whether web, mobile, APIs, or thick clients, the standard workflow is straightforward: put Burp Suite in the middle, and you’re good to go. Most of the time, that’s all you need. Every now and then, though, you run into a small but significant class of applications where that workflow breaks down. Custom protocols, payload encryption, request signatures, replay protection, non-standard encoding, these are the scenarios where you can no longer work manually the way you’re used to, and where Burp’s automated tools (Intruder, Scanner) stop being useful because they’re operating on data they can’t meaningfully read or modify. In this talk I took one of these complexities as example, additional payload encryption**,** and used it as a vehicle to explore advanced approaches based on **custom Burp extensions** to restore full testability: working manually in Proxy and Repeater, running automated tools like Intruder and Scanner, and even driving external tools like SQLMap through Burp, all as if the complexity simply weren’t there."

The
In March 2026, attackers exploited a pull_request_target misconfiguration in the aquasecurity/trivy-action GitHub Action to exfiltrate organization and repository secrets, then used those credentials to backdoor LiteLLM on PyPI (see Trivy’s post-mortem for the full timeline). zizmor is a static analyzer that GitHub Actions users run to catch exactly these misconfigurations before they ship. When GitHub Actions added support for YAML anchors in September 2025, a small but high-value slice of the ecosystem started writing workflows that zizmor could only analyze on a best-effort basis. Over the past three months, Trail of Bits collaborated with the zizmor maintainers to bring zizmor ’s anchor support up to full coverage. First, we fixed parsing bugs that caused crashes, produced wrong-location findings, and silently mishandled aliased values. Second, we surfaced deserialization edge cases that broke zizmor on otherwise valid workflows. Finally, we helped align zizmor ’s expression evaluator with GitHub’s own Known Answer Tests . We validated all of this against a new corpus of 41,253 workflows from 6,612 high-value open-source repositories. The result: 20 filed issues, 15 merged pull requests. Building the test corpus To u

Today, we are extending Cloudflare’s cloud access security broker (CASB) to support the Claude Compliance API . Security and compliance teams can now monitor Claude usage directly in the Cloudflare dashboard. No endpoint agents required. Enterprise security teams have long struggled to see how users interact with sanctioned and unsanctioned applications. The rapid adoption of AI applications has made this harder. Employees spend significant time in these new surface areas, and their interactions differ from traditional SaaS: users upload files, share freeform prompts, and providers generate content that may contain sensitive data. Cloudflare CASB helps solve this problem. One API integration gives you out-of-band visibility and control over the applications your organization uses. This integration builds on our existing support for AI governance , extending coverage over the most common tools security teams now manage. The fast path to safe AI adoption AI adoption has outpaced security governance. While IT and security teams raced to enable AI tools for productivity, the controls lagged behind. Most organizations today operate with partial visibility: they may block unauthorized AI tools at the network layer, but they cannot see what happens inside sanctioned ones. This matters because AI tools are not like traditional SaaS applications. They are conversational, persistent, and deeply integrated into workflows through APIs and agent frameworks.

This is the proposal. It is an informal RFC on how we actually have to change engineering architecture when LLM-assisted bug hunting means the exploit lands before the patch.

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history. On May 15, KrebsOnSecurity heard from Guillaume Valadon , a researcher with the security firm GitGuardian . Valadon’s company constantly scans public code repositories at GitHub and elsewhere for exposed secrets, automatically alerting the offending accounts of any apparent sensitive data exposures. Valadon said he reached out because the owner in this case wasn’t responding and the information exposed was highly sensitive. A redacted screenshot of the now-defunct “Private CISA” repository maintained by a CISA contractor. The GitHub re
I am working on a pre-MVP evidence readiness artifact and would value practitioner feedback on the output model.
Hello. I've shared feedback and blog posts before —some of you may remember-. For some time now, I've been developing a project related to the industry (CS & DFIR/IR), and thanks to the valuable feedback I've gathered from you, I've made significant progress. I'm now in the phase of pre-MVP validation and gathering expert opinions. Thank you in advance, and I apologize if I've caused any inconvenience. Question: The artifact is generated from existing security records and public fixture data. It includes source summaries, reliability reasons, limitation statements, manifests, hash lists, and package verification output. Scope boundaries: - it does not claim legal admissibility; - it does not prove original source truth; - it is not a SIEM, DFIR lab tool, threat detector, or forensic acquisition tool; - it focuses on ingestion-onward integrity and handoff clarity. The question is not "would you buy this product?" The question is whether this kind of package would help during IR, audit, insurance, legal, or internal investigation handoff. Specific feedback I am looking for: 1. Are source reliability and limitations clear enough? 2. Does the artifact separate package integrity from upstream source trust? 3. What uncertainty is still hidden? 4. What would make this misleading or unusable in practice? Artifact repo: https://github.com/tracehound/tracehound-pre-mvp-feedback-artifact Virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/dbdbf56e71c39fcfd158babdbb11b57037fa53b333efa27de619ce919278e66e?nocache=1
Overview Three vulnerabilities have been discovered in the SGLang project, two enabling remote code execution (RCE), and one regarding a path traversal vulnerability. In order for an attacker to exploit these vulnerabilities, the multimodal generation mode must be enabled, and an attacker must have network access to the SGLang service. No patch is available at this time, and no response was obtained from the project maintainers during coordination. Description SGLang is an open-source framework for serving large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AI models, supporting models such as Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Skywork, and is compatible with OpenAI APIs. Three vulnerabilities have been discovered within the tool and are tracked as follows: CVE-2026-7301 The multimodal generation runtime scheduler's ROUTER socket contains a sink that calls pickle.loads() on incoming messages, enabling RCE when exposed to the internet. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2026-3060 and CVE-2026-3059, which would be open to the Internet via the ZMQ broker, which automatically binded to all network interfaces without user awareness. CVE-2026-7301 is exposed to the internet by default through the scheduler host, which binds to 0.0.0.0 by default. CVE-2026-7302 The multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability, allowing an attacker to write arbitrary files anywhere the server process has write access, by including ../ sequences in the upload filename when sent to specific endpoints. CVE-2026-7304 The multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution when the

For the last few months, we've been testing a range of security-focused LLMs on our own infrastructure. These LLMs help identify potential vulnerabilities in our own systems, so we can fix them – and they also show us what attackers are going to be able to do with the latest models. None of these LLMs has captured more attention than Mythos Preview, from Anthropic. A few weeks ago, we were invited to use Mythos Preview as part of Project Glasswing . We soon pointed it at more than fifty of our own repositories – to see what it would find, and to see how it works. This post shares what we observed, what the models did well and what they didn't, and how the architecture and process around them needs to change, so they can be used at scale. What changed with Mythos Preview Mythos Preview is a real step forward, and it's worth saying that plainly before getting into anything else. We've been running models against our code for a while now, and the jump from what was possible with previous general-purpose frontier models to what Mythos Preview does today is not just a refinement of what came before. It's a different kind of tool doing a different kind of work, and that makes a clean apples-to-apples comparison to earlier models difficult. So rather than trying to benchmark Mythos Preview against general-purpose frontier models, it's more useful to describe what it can actually do, and two features that stood out across the work we did with Mythos Preview: Exploit chain construction - A real attack rarely uses one bug. It chains several small attack primitives together into a working exploit. For instance, it might turn a use-after-free bug into an arbitrary read and write primitive, hijack the control flow, and use return-oriented programming (ROP)
Presently sponsored by: Report URI: Guarding you from rogue JavaScript! Don’t get pwned; get real-time alerts & prevent breaches #SecureYourSite It's a hot topic, the old "pay or don't pay" for hackers not to leak your data. Since recording this a few days ago, we've had Grafana go with the "no pay" approach , and I've seen a raft of commentary around other companies reaching "agreements", which is a much politer way of saying "we paid extortionists a ransom". I'm concerned about the normalisation of ransom payments, and using language that deflects from the criminal nature of it is a big part of that. Instructure's exact words were that they "reached an agreement with the unauthorised actor involved", which really waters down the severity of the whole thing. It looks like, for the time being, "pay or leak" is the new norm... along with nonsensical statements like "the data was returned to us" 路♂️
