Cyber Heads Up: “BadSuccessor”—A Critical Active Directory Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Windows Server 2025
Overview: Akamai researchers have identified a significant privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows Server 2025, termed “BadSuccessor.” This flaw exploits the newly introduced delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSAs) feature, allowing attackers to impersonate any Active Directory (AD) user, including domain administrators, without altering existing accounts or group memberships. Key Details: Impact: Exploitation of BadSuccessor can lead… Continue reading Cyber Heads Up: “BadSuccessor”—A Critical Active Directory Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Windows Server 2025

Crypto Drainers are Targeting Cryptocurrency Users
As cryptocurrency becomes more popular and the adoption rises, we see a related increase in the number of cybercrimes, fraud, and malware schemes. Criminals like to hunt and plunder where there is money! If you hold cryptocurrency or are using Web3 platforms, you need to be careful.
Among other risks, the latest method is to use a crypto drainer! Crypto drainers are malicious code injected into software and webpages that compromise the victim’s crypto wallets or secret keys to drain the accounts.
This can be accomplished through:· Phishing websites, emails, texts, and other social engineering practices
· Fake airdrops, contests, and ads
· Malicious digital contracts
· Fake exchanges, marketplaces, and crypto services
· And malicious or trojanized browser extensions
Crypto drainers are being productionalized for scale within the cybercriminal community, with Drainers-as-a-Service tools being offered to less savvy wannabe fraudsters. These packages include the malicious code, apps, social engineering functions, and back-end infrastructure to handle the unauthorized asset transfers at scale. Some come with management dashboards to oversee the progress of all the victimization, documentation, tutorials, system updates, and customer support!
Kits start at a mere $100, which is a low bar for many of the unscrupulous cybercriminals. The lure of high rewards, low effort, and a small investment will continue to bring many over to the dark side. Personal and corporate cybersecurity practices must be employed.
Some key recommendations for protecting crypto wallets include:1. Enable multifactor authentication (2FA or MFA) when available on your wallets
2. Use hardware wallets or cold wallets for maximum security
3. Don’t be phished or socially engineered! Never click a questionable link, install untrusted software, or provide your private keys!
4. Avoid browser extensions! They can hijack your webpages and anything you input on them.
5. Secure your seeds and private keys in a password manager or offline.
Watch your wallets for unusual activity — although if you see any, it will likely be too late for that wallet!
Cryptocurrency is great, but like any innovative and disruptive technology, the attackers are motivated to find creative ways to victimize users! Understand the risks, act securely, and be cautious.

Emulating the Blazing DragonForce Ransomware
AttackIQ has released two new attack graphs that emulate the behaviors exhibited by DragonForce ransomware since its emergence in August 2023. Initially based entirely on the leaked LockBit 3.0 (Black) builder, it evolved with the introduction of a customized variant derived from the Conti V3 codebase. DragonForce operators may potentially be behind the recent cyber attacks that involved Marks & Spencer, Co-Op, and Harrods.

Malicious attack method on hosted ML models now targets PyPI
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are now inextricably linked to the software supply chain. ML models, which are based on large language models (LLMs), are powering the enterprise — and offer an infinite number of solutions to organizations’ mission-critical needs. The widespread and increasing use of generative AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, in addition to developer community resources like Hugging Face – a platform dedicated to collaboration and sharing of ML projects – show how software, coding and AI/ML are now one and the same.
But as with any new technological advancement, the pressing need for ML models has created a new and ever-evolving attack surface that the cybersecurity industry is racing to understand and mitigate. Recognizing the convergence of AI and the software supply chain, ReversingLabs (RL) researchers and engineers have taken steps to better understand the threat posed by malicious ML models.
One such threat that RL researchers have previously flagged is the Pickle file format, a popular but insecure Python module that is used widely for serializing and deserializing ML model data. Dhaval Shah, RL’s senior director of product management, wrote recently that Pickle files open the door to malicious actors who can abuse it to inject harmful code into the model files.
That warning proved true with the discovery of nullifAI, discovered by RL threat researchers in February, in which threat actors abused ML models in the Pickle file format to distribute malicious ML models on Hugging Face. With this latest discovery, RL researchers uncovered a new malicious campaign that further proves threat actors’ newly favored method of exploiting the Pickle file format — this time on the Python Package Index (PyPI).
Last Tuesday, RL researchers detected three, newly uploaded malicious packages that pose as a “Python SDK for interacting with Aliyun AI Labs services.” As the package description indicates, this is an attack that targets users of Alibaba AI labs. Once installed, the malicious package delivers an infostealer payload hidden inside a PyTorch model loaded from the initialization script. (PyTorch models are basically zipped Pickle files.) The malicious payload exfiltrates basic information about the infected machine and the content of the .gitconfig file.
Here’s what RL researchers discovered — and what this new malicious campaign means for the security of ML models, as well as how open-source software (OSS) platforms are still a favored supply chain attack vector.

DeepTempo Wins Global InfoSec Award for Advanced Threat Identification
It’s been a few weeks since the marketing excesses of the RSA Conference, and a quick glance at any day’s headlines confirms: attackers are collaborating and innovating faster than defenders can keep up. DeepTempo empowers security teams with purpose-built deep learning to detect threats earlier, streamline SOC workflows, and boost overall cyber resilience.
While at the show, DeepTempo won the “Advanced Threat Identification” category in Cyber Defense Magazine’s Global InfoSec Awards 2025, recognizing its significant contributions to modernizing threat detection through deep learning and MITRE ATT&CK® mapping. The judges had access to confidential success stories that we will share more broadly, at least in anonymized form, in the next month or two. This is Cyber Defense Magazine’s thirteenth year of honoring InfoSec innovators from around the Globe who believe they have a unique and compelling value proposition for their product or service. It’s recognition like this that validates our team’s efforts and the impact our customers are already seeing.
Win award, crack Dad jokeThe few months since we emerged from stealth mode with the launch of Tempo, our deep learning-based Snowflake Native App for cybersecurity ( available in the Snowflake Marketplace), have been amongst the most gratifying of my career. Our InfoSec Award follows successful collaborations with BNY through the Ascent Program and Snowflake’s Native App Accelerator. While I’m most excited about the success we are having in helping major enterprises and other organizations change the game in cyberdefense, the recognition we can talk about via these programs and accelerators, and awards is gratifying as well.
