CrowdStrike and partners disrupted the Sality P2P botnet on August 31, 2026 via peer-to-peer sinkholing, cutting command channels that had let the 20-year-old malware task 33,000+ infected machines.

Automates tedious dark web reconnaissance and threat intelligence collection by combining Tor indexing with LLM reasoning, substantially reducing manual triage time for security researchers.

Attackers can abuse exposed credentials within five minutes per Unit42, yet organizations often learn of breaches only when data surfaces underground. Dark web monitoring strengthens EASM strategies.

Check Point reports a surge of COVID-19 themed domains and dark web sales, with malware campaigns (AZORult, Emotet, TrickBot) and APT36, BabyShark operations exploiting the pandemic.

Learn about the anatomy of the SANDWORM_MODE infection chain mapped against the components of a modern AI CI/CD pipeline.

CrowdStrike tested frontier AI models, including Anthropic's Mythos Preview, in vulnerability research and found the harness matters more than the model as zero-day exploitation accelerates.
