Cyber Threat Intelligence
Threat actors continue to exploit trusted platforms and tools as attack vectors, with campaigns abusing Microsoft Teams update lures to deploy remote management software, Telegram infrastructure for command-and-control against government targets, and sophisticated malware techniques such as BYOVD and Process Ghosting to evade detection on Windows systems. Organizations should prioritize patching critical vulnerabilities like the n8n sandbox escape, enforce strict controls around third-party workflow and remote access tools, and take note of GitHub's new Dependabot cooldown as a positive step toward reducing supply chain risk in software development pipelines.

Small Business Spotlight
This week's Small Business Spotlight explores the growing cyber risks facing organisations like yours, from sophisticated state-backed phishing campaigns requiring zero interaction from victims to the emerging challenges of quantum-era encryption — and the practical, free support available to help you stay protected.
Happy Monday, cyber-warriors. Grab your coffee, because this week's threat landscape reads like a Netflix thriller where every episode ends on a cliffhanger — and the villain always has a software update.
First up, n8n users got a nasty surprise: a sandbox escape vulnerability letting workflow editors run OS commands directly as the n8n process. Translation? Anyone with edit access basically had the keys to the kingdom. If you're running n8n, patch immediately and audit who has workflow editor permissions like you're checking IDs at a very exclusive — and very paranoid — nightclub.
Operation BlueDash is out here delivering Level RMM and ScreenConnect through fake Microsoft Teams updates. Folks, if your "Teams update" arrives via a random link instead of your IT department, that's not Microsoft — that's a threat actor in a trench coat. Verify software updates through official channels. Every. Single. Time.
Meanwhile, Cruciferra Crypter is combining BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) with Process Ghosting to hide malware. It's basically the stealth bomber of evasion techniques. Behavioral detection and EDR solutions aren't optional anymore — they're your radar system.
TELESHIM is abusing Telegram for command-and-control against Middle East governments, proving that attackers love reputable platforms for cover. Monitor outbound traffic to messaging APIs — yes, even "normal" ones. And GitHub's new 3-day Dependabot cooldown before adopting newly published packages? Finally, a speed bump on the supply chain highway. Enable it now — no joke.
