Attackers are increasingly targeting Google Workspace environments by combining social engineering with malicious OAuth applications, allowing them to access workspace data without needing to steal passwords outright. This approach bypasses traditional credential-focused defenses, since the attacker never needs to obtain a valid password to gain a foothold. The technique relies on tricking users into granting permissions to a malicious OAuth app. Once consent is given, the app receives delegated access to the victim's account and data, effectively operating within the trust boundary of the organization. This makes detection harder, as the activity originates from what appears to be a legitimate, authorized application. An upcoming webinar examines two real-world attacks that illustrate how these breaches unfold in practice, walking through the attack chain and highlighting the security controls that can help prevent or detect them. Key points covered include: How social engineering is used to deliver malicious OAuth apps Why password theft is not required for these attacks to succeed The mechanics of OAuth consent abuse in Google Workspace Security controls that can mitigate the risk Source: BleepingComputer Has your organization reviewed which third-party OAuth apps currently have access to your Google Workspace environment?

Revolut has disclosed a data breach after an attacker impersonating a government agency gained access to customer data belonging to an undisclosed number of users.

Trezor has issued a warning to its customers after threat actors compromised a third-party email provider and began using the access to launch phishing attacks against users. The hardware wallet maker disclosed the incident on Wednesday, confirming that the breach occurred at an external email service rather than within its own infrastructure. Because the compromised system was used to send legitimate Trezor communications, attackers may be able to craft convincing phishing messages that appear to come from the company. This type of attack is particularly dangerous for hardware wallet users, since phishing pages often impersonate wallet vendors to trick victims into entering their recovery seed phrase. It is worth reiterating that Trezor never asks users for their recovery seed, and anyone who obtains that phrase gains full control of the associated funds. Users should treat any unexpected email referencing Trezor with caution, avoid clicking links or opening attachments, and navigate directly to the official website if they need to verify account or device information. Recovery seed phrases should never be entered into any website, email form, or pop-up, regardless of how legitimate the request appears.

Attackers have been observed breaching F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) devices to deploy a Linux rootkit designed to evade disk-based detection. The malware operates by intercepting PHP file loading processes and injecting a fileless web shell directly into memory, allowing persistent remote access without leaving malicious files on the filesystem. This technique is notable because it subverts the normal execution flow of the web application server, meaning that even routine file integrity checks may miss the compromise. The rootkit's in-memory payload enables attackers to maintain control over the affected BIG-IP APM appliance while avoiding common forensic signatures. The rootkit targets F5 BIG-IP APM environments. It intercepts PHP file loading to inject the web shell. The web shell is fileless, residing solely in memory. No malicious code is written to the disk. Given the privileged position of these devices in network infrastructure, successful exploitation could allow attackers to intercept or manipulate authentication traffic, potentially affecting broader access controls. Organizations running F5 BIG-IP APM should verify the integrity of their devices and review any unusual PHP activity or unexpected memory-resident processes. Source: BleepingComputer Are any of you running F5 BIG-IP APM appliances — and if so, what detection measures are you using to spot memory-only implants like this rootkit?

Third-party applications connected to Google Workspace often retain access long after their original purpose has been forgotten. This lingering permission is a hidden attack surface that can quietly lead to a breach, especially as organizations scale. Overly permissive integrations are a common weak point, and this webinar breaks down how those forgotten connections contribute to real-world incidents. The session focuses on the practical side of reducing exposure, particularly for fast-growing companies that may lack visibility into their own connected apps. Instead of assuming an unused integration is harmless, the discussion highlights which security controls actually help close these gaps. Key takeaways from the webinar include: The risk profile of third-party OAuth grants that remain active without oversight. Why default Google Workspace settings often fail to flag dormant or excessive permissions. Specific security controls—such as app access policies and regular audits—that can help reduce the attack surface. If you are managing Google Workspace, this is worth a watch to see where your own environment might be exposed. Source: Unknown Is your organization actively auditing third-party Google Workspace integrations, or are you relying on default settings until an incident forces a review?

Australian edtech provider Mathspace has disclosed a data breach impacting over 1 million students, staff, and parents. The attack targeted its internal Metabase reporting system, which was compromised by unauthorised actors. While the company has not specified the exact intrusion method, it confirmed that sensitive personal information was exfiltrated from the platform. The breached data includes names, email addresses, school names, and user roles. For a subset of affected individuals, additional fields such as phone numbers and student academic records may also have been exposed. Mathspace has stated that it does not store payment card details or government-issued identifiers like Social Security numbers, and it believes the risk of identity theft is limited. Still, the sheer volume of records involved—exceeding one million—places this among the larger edtech incidents in the region. Affected users should be aware of the following: The breach was discovered after unauthorised access to the Metabase analytics dashboard. Notifications are being sent directly to impacted users via email. The company has engaged external cybersecurity experts and is coordinating with relevant data protection authorities. Mathspace has urged users to remain cautious of phishing attempts that may reference the incident. It also recommends enabling multi-factor authentication on any accounts associated with the platform, although the compromised data did not include passwords. The company says it has since secured the reporting system and deployed additional monitoring to prevent further unauthorised access. The disclosure means that for any organisation or family using Mathspace, the immediate concern is not just the exposed records but how quickly the vendor can confirm the full scope of the exfiltration. Given that the data includes academic records, institutions should consider reviewing what information they have shared with third-party learning platforms.

Trezor has revised the impact of a data breach disclosed last August, revealing that the incident now affects approximately 81,000 customers total. The initial disclosure estimated around 14,000 individuals were impacted, but the company has since determined that an additional 67,000 U.S.-based users were exposed through its third-party shipping and logistics partner, ShipMonk. The compromised data stems from a breach at ShipMonk, not directly from Trezor's own infrastructure. Based on current information, the exposed records are limited to contact and shipping details, such as names, physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Critically, Trezor states that no cryptocurrency funds, device seeds, or transactional data were involved, as those systems remain segregated from the logistics pipeline. For those potentially affected, the primary risks involve targeted phishing campaigns or physical mail scams, rather than direct theft of digital assets. Trezor advises users to remain cautious of unsolicited communications that reference the breach and to always verify requests through official channels. Users should be wary of emails or SMS messages claiming to offer "security updates" or requiring device synchronization. Avoid entering recovery seeds into any website or software, as legitimate support will never ask for them. Monitor physical mail for suspicious packages or letters requesting personal information.
