Bleeping Computer
More than 737 browser extensions published on the Chrome Web Store impersonated well-known VPN and proxy services while routing users' traffic through SOCKS5 proxies operated by a single provider. [...]

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a security issue with Apple's iCloud Private Relay tool that can expose a user's real IP address. Introduced with iOS 15, iCloud Private Relay employs a dual-hop architecture to ensure users' privacy by routing their Safari web traffic through two relays so that no single third-party, including Apple, can determine where the request is originating from

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new threat actor dubbed Lurking Lizard that has been operating an end-to-end malicious residential proxy business using an infrastructure comprising more than 230 lookalike domains. The activity dates back to at least August 2022, according to DNS threat intelligence firm Infoblox. Once such campaign, observed earlier this year, involved the

A streaming box should not need a threat model. Neither should a username field, a demo repo, a reset flow, or a browser permission prompt. That is the irritating part this week: the risky pieces were ordinary. Home devices became a routing cover. Clean code pulled dirt from a dependency. Identity shortcuts aged badly. AI systems trusted the wrong instructions. Same soft spot throughout: trust

A joint operation involving Google has disrupted NetNut, a residential proxy network that gave access to millions of compromised Android devices, including smart TVs and streaming boxes. [...]
Krebs on Security
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said today it worked with industry partners to seize hundreds of domains associated with NetNut, a sprawling residential proxy service operated by the publicly-traded Israeli company Alarum Technologies [NASDAQ: ALAR]. The action comes roughly two weeks after KrebsOnSecurity published findings from multiple security firms connecting NetNut to the Popa botnet, a collection of at least two million devices that have been compromised by malicious software with little or no consent from victims.

Google has significantly degraded NetNut, one of the biggest networks that turns home devices into rented relays for other people's traffic. Working with the FBI, Lumen, and others, Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) said this week it had reduced the network's pool of usable devices by millions. Google identifies NetNut, also tracked as Popa, as a network spread across home

Researchers tested 444 AI chatbot apps for iPhone and found that 282 of them, nearly two-thirds, exposed paid AI access through their network traffic. In many cases, the path in was visible just by watching what the app sent: a plaintext API key, a reusable token, or a backend server that accepted requests with no key at all. Whoever grabs it can send model requests on the developer's account,

It’s dumb out there again. This week has the usual smell of prod on fire and nobody wanting to admit who left the door open — old creds still working, trusted apps doing sketchy crap, browser tricks jumping the fence, and “normal” workflows turning into phishing pipes because apparently email was not enough hell already. The worst part is how cheap some of it feels. Not elite. Not cinematic.

A heap over-read in the Squid web proxy can leak another user's cleartext HTTP request, including any credentials or session tokens it carries, to anyone already allowed to send traffic through the same proxy. The bug traces to a 1997 FTP-parsing change and is still live in Squid's default configuration. Researchers at Calif.io disclosed it in June and named it Squidbleed (
