China-linked JDY botnet targets US military networks with expanded reconnaissance.
The JDY botnet, linked to China, has more than doubled its malicious reach since January 2024, growing from 650 to over 1,500 compromised devices, with a significant focus on infiltrating US military networks and associated targets. This expanding reconnaissance capability poses a concerning threat to US cybersecurity.
Cybercrime Tactics Disrupt $725 Million in Cargo Heists
Cargo thieves are getting smarter, with cybercrime tactics fueling a staggering $725 million in heists across North America in 2025, and experts warn that the true cost may be even higher. This sophisticated game plan typically starts with online snooping, using publicly available info to plot the perfect crime.
Nation-State Hackers Target Small Defense Firms' Network Gaps
Small defense firms are leaving themselves exposed to nation-state hackers, who exploited over 14 zero-day vulnerabilities in edge devices like routers and firewalls in 2025 to gain a foothold in the US defense industrial base. These stealthy cyber espionage groups are investing heavily in reconnaissance and pre-positioning operations to infiltrate and linger in their targets' networks.
Mayhem 10 Drone Evolves to Counter Multiple Threats with Modular Design
Meet the Mayhem 10, a game-changing drone that's redefining modern warfare with its modular design and swarming capabilities, capable of tackling multiple threats and missions with unprecedented flexibility.

RQ-180 Stealth Drone Spotted Flying Over Greece in Broad Daylight
A top-secret stealth drone, the massive RQ-180, has been spotted flying in broad daylight over Greece, revealing new details about its design and presence. The unusual daytime sighting of this covert aircraft is providing fresh insights into its configuration and capabilities.
water utility attack: Exclusive Risky Honeypot Revelation
Security researchers watched a pro‑Russia hacktivist group walk straight into a lifelike water‑utility honeypot, giving defenders a rare, risk‑free look at their reconnaissance and tools. That intel shows how deception can turn attacker curiosity into actionable defenses—vital for protecting water systems that, if disrupted, could threaten public safety.
Palo Alto portal scans: Stunning 500% Risky Surge
Is your firewall login page being probed right now? GreyNoise logged a nearly 500% one‑day surge in targeted scans against Palo Alto Networks admin portals — a structured reconnaissance blast that should prompt immediate checks: lock down management interfaces, enable MFA, patch, and review logs.
Rhadamanthys Stealer: Exclusive Dangerous Threat
Rhadamanthys has evolved from a simple credential stealer into a stealthy, full-stack threat that fingerprints devices and hides stolen data inside ordinary PNG images while pairing with proxy and crypt services for turnkey attacks. Defenders should boost telemetry, enforce phishing‑resistant MFA, and add content‑aware inspection (including steganalysis) to spot these covert exfiltration channels.
Cavalry Werewolf Exclusive: Dangerous State-Grade Threat
BI.ZONE’s new report exposes Cavalry Werewolf, a stealthy campaign that pairs the FoalShell backdoor with StallionRAT to quietly map and then exploit Russian public-sector networks—an urgent reminder that reusable, modular tooling lets attackers scale persistent intrusions. Defenders should prioritize centralized telemetry, network segmentation, MFA and practiced playbooks to spot the subtle reconnaissance before it escalates.
Context wins: Must-Have Best AI Defense Tactics
Context wins — whoever understands systems fastest will shape the outcome of the AI-accelerated attack/defense race. Build inventories, sharpen telemetry, harden processes, and share actionable intelligence to tilt the balance back toward defenders.
BRICKSTORM backdoor: Stunning Dangerous Threat Exposed
BRICKSTORM is a stealthy backdoor tied to a Chinese‑aligned group that quietly harvests telemetry to help build and refine zero‑day exploits—what looks like a low‑impact intrusion today could be tomorrow’s weapon. Security teams should hunt, patch, and harden now before collected data is turned into lasting capability.
Hexstrike‑AI Risky Surge: Must‑Have Security Alert
Hexstrike‑AI — built to sharpen defenses — is now being repurposed by criminals to automate and speed up attacks, lowering the skill needed to exploit systems. If defenders don’t match that tempo with faster detection, automated playbooks, and tighter vendor controls, attackers will keep winning the race for the first foothold.
Russias drone sector: Stunning, Risky Expansion
Russia’s drone industry has surged from prototypes to mass-produced battlefield systems by prioritizing simple, low-cost designs and decentralized manufacturing. That rapid, pragmatic growth is forcing Kyiv, Washington and NATO to rethink sanctions, air defenses and how to counter cheap, attritable aerial threats.
manned-unmanned teaming: Must-Have, Risky Future
Picture a soldier stepping ashore while drones and robots weave a single tactical picture into their helmet—manned‑unmanned teams could soon boost reach and protect troops across the Pacific, but they also raise tough challenges in communications, AI reliability, logistics, and the ethics of who pulls the trigger.
