New IronWorm malware hits 36 packages in npm supply-chain attack

A new supply-chain attack has infected 36 packages on the Node Package Manager (npm) index with infostealer malware called IronWorm.

The malware targets 86 environment variables (key-value pairs) and 20 credential files that may contain OpenAI, AWS, Anthropic, and npm credentials, vault configuration files, SSH keys, and Exodus cryptocurrency wallet files.

According to researchers at supply-chain and devops company JFrog, IronWorm is written in Rust, hides behind an eBPF kernel rootkit, and communicates with the operator over the Tor network.

Brave Software releases Origin for a paid, bloat-free browsing experience

Brave Software has announced the public release of Origin, a paid minimalist, bloat-free version of its browser that strips out cryptocurrency, AI, rewards, and other monetization-focused features.

The browser maker says Brave Origin is designed for users who want a more streamlined, privacy-focused browser without the company’s optional revenue-generating services and integrations.

“Today, Brave is announcing the release of Brave Origin, a paid version of the browser for users who don’t need all of Brave’s out-of-the-box features, but still want the privacy that only Brave offers,” the company explains.

Hola Browser for Windows compromised to deliver cryptominer

The Windows version of the Hola Browser has been compromised in a supply chain attack that delivered an undeclared executable identified by researchers as a cryptocurrency miner.

The compromise was uncovered during periodic certification checks on Hola Browser as part of its AppEsteem certification testing procedure, which it had previously passed.

Hola is an Israeli company best known for Hola VPN, a service that allows users to route internet traffic through other users’ devices or through paid proxy infrastructure to bypass geographic restrictions and access content from different countries.

US charges Google security engineer with Polymarket insider trading

A Google security engineer was charged with insider trading after winning $1.2 million using confidential company data to place bets on the cryptocurrency-based Polymarket decentralized prediction market.

36-year-old Michele Spagnuolo, an Italian citizen residing in Switzerland and a Google employee since 2014, appeared on Wednesday in the Southern District of New York.

In parallel, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a separate civil complaint the same day, seeking restitution, disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, and trading and registration bans.

Glassworm botnet disrupted after resilient C2 infrastructure takedown

The Glassworm botnet targeting developers in software supply-chain attacks has been disrupted after researchers took down its resilient command-and-control infrastructure relying on Solana blockchain transactions and the BitTorrent DHT network.

In a coordinated operation conducted yesterday, CrowdStrike, Google, and The Shadowserver Foundation cut off the botnet operators’ access to four distinct command-and-control (C2) channels designed to resist conventional disruption efforts.

Glassworm campaigns have been ongoing since October 2025 and initially targeted developers with malicious OpenVSX and Microsoft VS Code extensions that stole cryptocurrency wallets and developer credentials.

New TCLBanker malware self-spreads over WhatsApp and Outlook

A new trojan named TCLBanker, which targets 59 banking, fintech, and cryptocurrency platforms, uses a trojanized MSI installer for Logitech AI Prompt Builder to infect systems.

Additionally, the malware includes self-spreading worm modules for WhatsApp and Outlook that automatically infect new victims.

The new banking trojan was discovered by Elastic Security Labs, whose researchers believe it’s a major evolution of the older Maverick/Sorvepotel malware family.

A Token of Our Imagination: The Invisible Economy Powering GenAI

Ever wonder what actually happens inside the AI after you hit “Enter”?

You type a prompt into your favorite generative AI, and within seconds, your screen fills with exactly what you asked for—whether it’s a quarterly report or a cinematic image of a cyberpunk golden retriever. It feels like absolute magic.

But behind that seamless curtain lies a bustling, microscopic economy running entirely on a digital currency you’ve probably heard of but might not fully understand: the token.

Most of us only ever see the input and the output. We don’t see the internal cash register ringing, the mathematical gymnastics, or the sprawling “assembly line” churning through billions of calculations.

What actually happens between the moment you hit send and the moment your final masterpiece appears? In my newest blog post, I peel back the curtain to trace the fascinating journey of an AI token.

I break down this invisible economy—from the “toll booth” of the input phase to the heavy lifting of the output phase—and show you exactly how the machine balances the books.
