Mandiant says an attacker hijacked an active AI coding-assistant session at an unnamed software-as-a-service provider and later spread Shai-Hulud across about 100 internal code repositories. Before the repository spread, the assistant recommended software that the attacker had poisoned, and the recommendation was accepted. The worm stole repository secrets a…
Parallels Desktop for Mac has a flaw that lets an ordinary local account run code as root, the highest level of access on a Mac, software company JFrog said this week. The attack needs code already running on the machine as a normal user, so it does not work over the network. JFrog says the fix is in Parallels Desktop 27, a version that Intel Macs cannot ins…

CISA developed this guidance to help defensive teams at varying levels of cybersecurity maturity plan and implement cyber decoy strategies that strengthen their detection and response capabilities. Many organizations struggle to detect adversaries who use legitimate credentials, native tools, and living off the land (LOTL) techniques to conduct discovery, move laterally, and access data. Cyber decoys are assets that appear to be legitimate systems, accounts, or data, but are designed to distract adversaries, detect their presence, or facilitate collection of cyber threat intelligence (CTI). As organizations adopt Zero Trust models, they should assume that a malicious threat actor may gain some level of access to their environment and plan accordingly. Cyber decoys complement Zero Trust by: Supporting continuous monitoring and verification, Creating high-fidelity alerts for suspicious activity, Reducing alert fatigue, and Helping defenders detect post-compromise activity, including adversary LOTL techniques. This guidance introduces decoy concepts—including tripwires, breadcrumbs, and honeytokens—and uses the MITRE Engage™ and MITRE ATT&CK® frameworks to provide practical, low-complexity steps for planning, implementing, and refining decoy operations.
