Cyber Crime
TrendAI™ Research analyzed an intrusion where threat actors used the EtherHiding technique to route ClearFake payload delivery through smart contracts on the BNB Smart Chain testnet. The attack chain ended with two simultaneously deployed stealers, SectopRAT and ACRStealer alongside an on-chain execution tracker that confirmed each victim compromise in real time.
Malware
Void Dokkaebi, a North Korea-aligned intrusion set, has updated its information-stealing malware, InvisibleFerret, shifting its delivery format to evade script-based detections.
Cyber Crime
A solo Russian-speaking threat actor ran a 5-year Telegram channel and, starting September 2025, used AI to automate its content, credential theft, and a cryptocurrency fraud scheme targeting American audiences.

In this blog entry, researchers from the TrendAI™ MDR team discuss how they mapped the full end-to-end operation of SHADOW-WATER-063’s Banana RAT banking malware by analyzing server-side artifacts and victim-side data.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI agents now act inside the trust boundary with real credentials, and agentic governance is what keeps them from quietly breaking things at machine speed.
Cyber Threats
Our research examines the April 22 Checkmarx KICS and April 24 elementary-data incidents as part of a broader TeamPCP supply chain campaign. Across both cases, the actor abused trusted CI/CD and release workflows to steal credentials at scale.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
TrendAI™ Research has identified two emerging threat campaigns—SHADOW-AETHER-040 and SHADOW-AETHER-064—that use agentic AI to drive intrusion operations against government and financial organizations in Latin America, marking these among the first cases we have observed of AI agents executing attacks from initial access to data exfiltration.
Cyber Threats
The Instructure Canvas breach affects universities, K–12 school districts, and teaching hospitals globally. This blog entry intends to provide context and practical guidance.

Cyber Threats
Targeting multiple industries worldwide, the InstallFix campaign uses fake Claude AI installer pages to trick users into running malware that collects system information, disables security features, achieves persistence, and connects to attacker-controlled C&C servers for additional payloads.
