[GAME THEORY] The Recruiter Was Also the Quartermaster

A new joint advisory links recruiter malware and some DPRK IT workers. Here is where to join hiring, access, and payment decisions.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Edge Intrusions, Cloud Identity Abuse, and Quiet OT Risk

Edge patching may close the hole but not remove access; this issue tracks service-principal abuse and integrator routes into OT.

[FORECAST] The next inbox breach will be a collection pipeline

A 58% disclosure forecast—and the ownership test that matters before the next campaign is named.

[DEEP RESEARCH] The Token Was Not a Session. It Was a Signing Dependency.

New NIST guidance exposes a containment gap: the revocation command can succeed while an attacker’s access survives.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Compressed Threat Picture: Edge Devices, Workflow RCE, Targeted Spyware

The engineer called it internal; the attacker found it internet-adjacent. Inventory and patch exposed GS1900 and Conductor gear, then hunt job changes and secret access.

[FORECAST] Stolen AI Tokens Are Becoming the New Cloud Skeleton Key

Two incidents appear to clear the bar. Govern AI credentials by replay value and blast radius before access becomes impact.

[DEEP RESEARCH] The registry did not see the breach. The runner did.

A practical operating model for package admission, runtime detection, and proving downstream impact before the trail goes cold.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Control Planes Under Pressure: KEV, AI, and Identity

Patch the control plane, then hunt leaked authority: new admins, fresh tokens, API use from new origins. Copied keys can outlive a green patch dashboard.

[GAME THEORY] The Model Was Not Breached. It Was Mined.

The attacker needs sustained, useful output. Defenders can turn that dependency into friction across the access ecosystem.

[GAME THEORY] The operator was not the customer. The quartermaster was.

Shared intrusion logistics can be a better chokepoint than one APT—if defenders can prove real control-plane dependence.

[SIGNALS WEEKLY] Exploited Edge, Social Engineering, and Subtle Evasion

A Teams message from “IT” can now be the first step in a domain takeover: remote-support session, silent install, then AD and WinRM movement.

[FORECAST] Who Gets to Hack Back for the Government?

Our 45% forecast—and the public signals that would show private cyber effects have moved from authority to action.
