Cybersecurity & Tech Headlines — September 9, 2025

The hosting landscape doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s tied directly to cybersecurity. Here’s what’s making headlines this week:

RatOn Android Malware Evolves with NFC & Banking Fraud Capabilities

What started as a simple NFC attack tool has now mutated into a full-fledged Remote Access Trojan (RAT) with Automated Transfer System (ATS) capabilities. This means attackers can now conduct real-time banking fraud with frightening precision.

Shadow AI Agents Are Multiplying

From rogue employee experiments to hidden deployments by SaaS platforms, “Shadow AI” agents are becoming a blind spot in IT ecosystems. Organizations must develop detection strategies before automation spirals beyond control.

Password Cracking Surges to 46% of Attacks

According to the latest Picus Blue Report 2025, credential-based attacks have nearly doubled, surging from 25% to 46%. Stronger MFA adoption and passwordless authentication are no longer optional.

MostereRAT Phishing Campaign Goes Stealth

Cybercriminals are leveraging AI-driven phishing kits to distribute MostereRAT, a banking malware that has transformed into a stealthy remote access trojan capable of bypassing traditional defenses.

Ephemeral Accounts Pose Hidden Risks

Temporary accounts with privileged access are emerging as one of the hardest-to-detect insider threats, creating audit blind spots for SOC teams.

CISO Budget Battles Continue

Security leaders are once again under pressure to justify investments. Effective CISOs are reframing cybersecurity as a business enabler, not just a cost center.

TOR-Based Cryptojacking Hits Docker APIs

Akamai researchers discovered a campaign exploiting misconfigured Docker APIs via the TOR network to launch cryptojacking attacks. Cloud security hygiene remains critical.

NPM Supply Chain Attack Compromises 20 Packages

A phishing campaign targeting a popular open-source maintainer led to a massive supply chain breach, affecting 20 npm packages with 2 billion weekly downloads. Developers are urged to audit dependencies immediately.
