Microsoft Takes Down EvilTokens Device-Code Phishing Service Tied to 12,000 Inbox Compromises
Simultaneously, EvilTokens employs a multi-stage delivery pipeline to bypass traditional email gateways and endpoint security through fake CAPTCHA checks and redirection chains that make use of high-reputation “serverless” platforms like Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, and AWS Lambda to blend in with legitimate enterprise cloud traffic and sidestep domain-blocklist triggers.
Statistics shared by Microsoft show that EvilTokens has been linked to more than 12,000 compromised email inboxes across over 10,000 organizations worldwide, indicating the service had gained widespread traction among threat actors in a short span of time.
The highest concentrations of victim activity have been observed in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, India, and France. Targeted organizations include wholesale distribution, construction, financial services, real estate, higher education, and healthcare.
New ClosedQuorum Windows malware uses AI for attack decisions
A new Windows malware named ClosedQuorum uses Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mistral AI models to autonomously determine the actions to take during post-compromise stages of an attack.
The Go-based malware acts with no commands from a human operator, using reconnaissance information and a voting system to decide its next step on infected hosts.
When votes are tied, DeepSeek has priority at making the final call, based on the option it considers most appropriate, followed by Qwen, Mistral, and Gemini.
EvilTokens PhaaS disrupted after compromising 12,000 Microsoft accounts
The EvilTokens platform that compromised more than 12,000 Microsoft accounts at over 10,000 organizations has been disrupted in an effort led by Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit (DCU).
The phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) operation emerged in February and was the first to support device code authentication at scale and offer cybercriminals AI-powered features for customizing lures and sifting through compromised inboxes to identify high-value targets.
In an announcement today, Microsoft said it coordinated the takedown of EvilTokens’ infrastructure, an action that involved the Health-ISAC, law enforcement, and SpyCloud, an identity threat protection company based in Austin, Texas.

3I/ATLAS has an extreme taste for heavy water
I still don’t know what this is because there has been too much propaganda.
More and more details about 3I/ATLAS are filtering through the scientific process as time goes on. Our third known interstellar visitor attracted the attention of some of the world’s most powerful observatories when it was discovered in July 2025, and some of those telescopes found something peculiar—the isotopes it contained appeared different. A new paper submitted to The Astrophysical Journal Letters (and available as a preprint on arXiv) by Kenji Furuya of the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute in Japan and his co-authors shows that the isotopic discrepancy is likely due to the “low metallicity” of the stellar nursery in which 3I/ATLAS was born.
In everyday language, we think of metals as having certain properties. But to astronomers, “metals” include anything with an atomic number higher than helium that was created in supernovae after the first generation of stars died. Hence, the universe has slowly become more metallic over time, at least according to astronomical standards, as more and more stars explode in supernovae and create “crazier space dust,” as a famous YouTube video once put it.
Some of that crazier space dust takes the form of carbon, which is crucial in organic chemistry but also present in 3I/ATLAS. Critically, it was present in an isotope ratio that didn’t match anything seen in our own solar system. The ratio of C-12 (i.e., a carbon atom with 12 protons and neutrons) to C-13 (a carbon atom with one more neutron) for objects in our solar system hovers around 90. The ratio for the interstellar medium averages around 68. In 3I/ATLAS, that ratio was between 123 and 191—much higher than anywhere the interstellar object has been traveling in the past few billion years.
