Today, most organizations already have a broad range of modern security solutions in place, yet many still struggle with a lack of meaningful visibility. The challenge is no longer collecting more security data.

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.

Void Dokkaebi, a North Korea-aligned intrusion set, has updated its information-stealing malware, InvisibleFerret, shifting its delivery format to evade script-based detections.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Instructure Canvas breach affects universities, K–12 school districts, and teaching hospitals globally. This blog entry intends to provide context and practical guidance.

A deeper look at the first three pillars and outlining how our capabilities directly support government agencies working to bring this strategy to life.

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.

TrendAI™ Research breaks down Quasar Linux (QLNX), a previously undocumented sophisticated Linux RAT with low detection rates. In this blog, we examine a full-featured Linux threat incorporating a rootkit, a PAM backdoor, credential harvesting, and more, revealing how this malware enables stealthy access, persistence, and potential supply-chain attacks.

A China-aligned threat group is exploiting unpatched Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities to conduct cyberespionage against government and critical infrastructure targets across Asia and beyond.
