Fake CAPTCHA scams have compromised over 5,400 websites, tricking users into pasting malware commands into Windows Run. WordPress and PrestaShop sites are among those affected.

PCWorld reports that Microsoft's September update patches a record 973 security vulnerabilities, doubling the previous month's total, with 113 classified as critical. Two zero-day exploits are already being actively used by attackers, and flaws in Windows, Excel, SharePoint, and Windows Hello could allow remote code execution or privilege escalation. Users are strongly urged to update their Microsoft software immediately to protect against these serious risks. Yesterday was September Patch Tuesday, which means Microsoft released security updates addressing 973 new security vulnerabilities.

Stolen Claude logins have serious resale value at scale. Adam Meyers, senior vice president of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike, told Axios in August that a trade has grown up around hijacked AI accounts, with criminals trafficking credentials for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. Meanwhile, findings by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 have traced hijacked accounts to proxy services known as transfer stations. These pool stolen credentials and resell access to AI services at a much lower cost than retail. Anthropic doesn't publish exact figures for its Claude usage limits, but every prompt has a compute cost, which the company absorbs when a stolen session is doing the prompting.

PCWorld warns that 19 Chrome and Edge extensions were found secretly stealing user data, including login details and crypto tokens, through hidden malware. The malicious campaign reportedly evaded detection for around two years, with attackers injecting harmful code into already popular extensions after they gained user trust. Google and Microsoft have removed these add-ons from their stores, but affected users must manually uninstall them to fully protect their devices. Security experts at Socket are warning about browser extensions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge that contain malware. The accompanying report mentions a total of 19 add-ons that were deliberately infected with malicious code in order to intercept user data and steal access details to digital wallets.

PCWorld reports that CISA has flagged four actively exploited security vulnerabilities affecting Windows, VMware vCenter, Microsoft SharePoint, and Apple macOS systems. Critical flaws carry severity scores as high as 9.8 out of 10, with attackers using them to deploy ransomware, install Monero mining malware, and bypass authentication entirely. Users and administrators are urged to apply available patches immediately, including recent Windows, SharePoint, VMware, and macOS updates, to avoid becoming targets. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning about four security vulnerabilities that are being exploited by attackers in the wild. CISA has added the vulnerabilities to its catalog of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) . Microsoft Windows and SharePoint, VMware vCenter, and Apple macOS are affected. Inclusion in the KEV catalog sends an important signal: CISA doesn't simply list every known vulnerability out there, but only those for which there is concrete evidence of active exploitation by attackers. The agency points out that such vulnerabilities are among the most commonly used attack vectors and pose a significant risk.

One vulnerability has already been exploited in the wild. Microsoft continues its onslaught against security vulnerabilities, fixing a whopping 421 bugs in August's Patch Tuesday update. But looking beyond the sheer number, Windows users should install this month's update, as it patches a zero-day flaw that's already been exploited by attackers. Aimed at Windows 11 25H2/24H2, Windows 11 23H2, and Windows 10, the 421 vulnerabilities encompass a range of Microsoft products, including Office, Exchange, Azure, and SharePoint.

A Sneaky Hacking Tool Targeting AI Infrastructure Is Lurking in Victims' Blind Spots A new type of malware can worm deep into AI coding systems to steal data and logins--and can flip a "death switch" to destroy files and keep out real users. As AI tools proliferate and become deeply ingrained in software development around the world, new research from the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike shows how attackers are actively targeting the AI toolchain to steal access credentials, gain deeper access to a target environment, exfiltrate sensitive data, and even destroy target files and systems--all while finding new ways to cover their tracks. Researchers discovered a worm in the wild while investigating AI software supply chain attacks. Adam Meyers, CrowdStrike's senior vice president of counter adversary work, says that the company has not yet attributed the activity to a specific actor, but that it fits into larger evolutions in how attackers like TeamPCP (which Crowdstrike tracks as "Altered Spider") and North Korean groups are targeting the AI software supply chain. "This is one of the campaigns that we've seen showing that this is an emerging attack class," Meyers tells WIRED.
