Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious Google Chrome extension that’s designed to steal data associated with Meta Business Suite and Facebook Business Manager. The extension, named CL Suite by @CLMasters (ID: jkphinfhmfkckkcnifhjiplhfoiefffl), is marketed as a way to scrape Meta Business Suite data, remove verification pop-ups, and generate two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. The extension has 33 users as of writing. It was first uploaded to the Chrome Web Store on March 1, 2025. However, the browser add-on also exfiltrates TOTP codes for Facebook and Meta Business accounts, Business Manager contact lists, and analytics data to infrastructure controlled by the threat…

Windows 11 is getting a new security mode meant to block risky software before it can dig into the system, especially the kind that hides behind drivers and background services. Microsoft calls it Windows Baseline Security Mode. It turns integrity safeguards on by default, so signed apps, services, and drivers are the ones that run. If something is unsigned, Windows can stop it. You can still approve exceptions when you need to keep a legitimate tool working. Microsoft is also pushing User Transparency and Consent. Windows will start prompting you when an app reaches for device or data access, and…

The circadian rhythm, also known as the biological clock, plays a crucial role in our body’s functioning. When people don’t get regular sleep or have erratic sleeping patterns, it can disrupt the body’s rhythm. This can lead to people feeling tired and not being able to perform optimally. Over the years, various studies have tried to understand the circadian rhythm’s role on our health, and the latest one from the University of Exeter, United Kingdom has some interesting findings. In a paper published in the European Heart Journal, researchers have revealed that getting regular sleep between 10 pm and 11…

A new report out today from the Google Threat Intelligence Group is warning that threat actors are moving beyond casual experimentation with artificial intelligence and are now beginning to integrate AI directly into operational attack workflows. The report focuses in part on abuse and targeting of Google’s own Gemini models, underscoring how generative AI systems are increasingly being tested, probed and, in some cases, incorporated into malicious tooling. Google’s researchers observed some malware families making direct application programming calls to Gemini during execution. Notably, the strains dynamically request generated source code from the model to carry out specific tasks, rather…
