Eclypses and Sterling are collaborating to implement quantum-resistant data protection across federal systems using the MicroToken Exchange platform. This partnership aims to help agencies comply with upcoming OMB mandates by securing sensitive payloads against future quantum computing threats.

Researchers identified a critical vulnerability named CosmosEscape that allowed for unauthorized access to Azure Cosmos DB accounts. By bypassing the Gremlin API sandbox, attackers could have leveraged a platform-wide master key to compromise both customer and Microsoft internal databases.

Threat actors have successfully compromised dozens of Microsoft-owned repositories to deploy the Miasma malware via supply-chain attacks. The malware is designed to steal cloud credentials and spread laterally through developer environments by exploiting AI coding agents.

More than 30 Red Hat npm packages were compromised in a supply-chain attack using the Miasma malware to steal developer credentials. The attack was executed via a compromised GitHub account and targeted various cloud and infrastructure secrets.

This report details the rising trend of opportunistic scanning targeting AI-related services and infrastructure. It highlights specific threats to unauthenticated Ollama instances and the use of coordinated sweeps to harvest AI API keys from configuration files.

The article critiques the unsustainable economic model of the current AI boom, arguing that the massive capital expenditures by hyperscalers like Microsoft and Amazon are not matched by sufficient, consistent revenue streams. The author stresses that for AI to be profitable, revenue must explode dramatically, and the operational costs (OpEx) of running data centers must be accounted for.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was found to have left a massive GitHub repository containing plain-text credentials and infrastructure secrets public for six months. The leak, discovered by a GitGuardian researcher, exposed access to critical systems like AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, highlighting severe internal security lapses.
