Docker has patched a sandbox escape we reported in its hypervisor for Mac: a container can get complete read and write access to the host filesystem by running three lines of bash. Docker Desktop and Docker Sandboxes are both affected. Docker Desktop is only affected if Docker VMM is turned on in Settings. It’s a good thing we found it now, because Docker VMM is scheduled to become the default for Docker Desktop at the end of October 2026.
An ongoing malware campaign uses SEO-optimized GitHub repositories to impersonate well-known software firms to push a previously undocumented information stealer called Rapuncel. The installer inside the archives is a copy of the legitimate Microsoft Visual Studio CoreCLR Debugger, ‘vsdbg.exe,’ renamed and configured to sideload a malicious DLL (vsdbg.dll). The installer deploys the Rapuncel infostealer as well as the Alinubx.sys kernel driver, which is used to kill antivirus software.

While people around the U.S. are tearing down Flock cameras, one group of hackers went a step further: extracting the camera’s software too. Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and WIRED, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety’s cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people. The hackers say they are also publishing details on how they managed to obtain the software, in the hopes that other people may copy them.
DeepSeek’s 11/11 result showed why advanced agent benchmarks need to check both the outcome and the attack path: our audit confirmed six planned exploits and found five unexpected routes. Across the full benchmark, the model used 2,349 Bash commands and almost two hours and 38 minutes of active model time. The median successful run took four minutes and 38 seconds. The provider reported 268.3 million input tokens and about two million output tokens.
In the mid-2010s, Chinese cyber espionage actors stole complementary data from a variety of sources that, together, would be useful for analyzing the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Various Chinese APT groups stole information from the health insurance company Anthem, credit reporting company Equifax, Marriott hotels, United Airlines, and, perhaps most significantly, security clearance information from the Office of Personnel Management.
