Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a living, breathing part of enterprise infrastructure. But with the rise of AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs), companies are facing a new frontier in cybersecurity. The challenge is clear: hundreds, sometimes thousands, of service accounts, bots, and automated agents are running in the background of modern organizations. Many of them weren’t directly created by the teams using them, and often no one can answer the most important question: Who owns them, and how do we secure them?

At SunsetHost, we track these emerging threats and the latest research coming out of the cybersecurity world. Today’s tech report covers everything from gaining control of AI agents to critical Microsoft patches, North Korean hacker activity, fake macOS repositories, GPT-4-powered malware, and more.

Securing AI Agents & Non-Human Identities

Think of non-human identities as digital employees: bots, service accounts, API keys, and AI agents that handle tasks faster and at scale. But unlike your human employees, they don’t attend training, they don’t raise red flags, and they don’t remind you when they’re outdated. That makes them a prime target for exploitation.

Steps to regain control:

1. Inventory everything – Know every bot, service account, and AI agent that exists in your ecosystem.

2. Assign ownership – Every identity needs a responsible human owner who can monitor and update its use.

3. Apply least-privilege access – No agent should have more permissions than absolutely necessary.

4. Rotate credentials – Treat them like passwords. Rotating API keys and tokens closes exploitable gaps.

5. Monitor continuously – Just because it’s non-human doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be audited.

SunsetHost recommends starting with a simple AI Agents Security 101 explainer sheet to build awareness before scaling into full enterprise controls.

Microsoft Patches Critical Entra ID Vulnerability

Microsoft recently patched a token validation flaw in Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). Left unpatched, attackers could impersonate any user—including Global Administrators—across any tenant. That means full compromise of enterprise accounts and access to confidential data.

If your business uses Microsoft Entra ID, update immediately. SunsetHost recommends proactive patch management strategies, including automated patch deployment on VPS hosting environments, to reduce downtime and ensure security fixes are applied quickly.

The State of DDoS Defenses in 2025

A new survey of 300 CISOs and security directors revealed a paradox: while 85% of organizations increased their DDoS defense budgets, nearly half (42%) still experienced severe damage. The findings show that while enterprises are spending more, the automation gaps and rise of AI-driven DDoS attacks are outpacing traditional solutions.

At SunsetHost, we’ve seen how critical geo-distributed VPS hosting can be as part of a layered defense strategy—keeping mission-critical workloads online even during heavy attack windows.

DPRK Hackers Deliver BeaverTail Malware via ClickFix Job Scams

North Korean state-backed groups have a new trick: crypto job scams that weaponize ClickFix lures. Victims are tricked into downloading fake job applications, which deliver BeaverTail and InvisibleFerret malware strains. Both are designed to steal wallet credentials and facilitate lateral movement within compromised systems.

For crypto and fintech startups especially, this reinforces the importance of:

• Running workloads on segmented VPS hosting

• Deploying endpoint detection that can flag malicious processes early

• Enforcing strict verification of email attachments and downloads

LastPass Warns of Fake macOS GitHub Repositories

Password manager LastPass is sounding the alarm: fake GitHub repositories are circulating with malware-laced programs targeting macOS users. The malware, Atomic Infostealer, poses as legitimate tools but instead siphons sensitive data.

This highlights the need for developers and enterprises alike to:

• Validate repository authenticity

• Sandbox test new installs on dedicated VPS environments before deployment

• Rely on verified, signed applications whenever possible

Researchers Discover GPT-4 Powered Malware: MalTerminal

One of the most chilling discoveries this year: MalTerminal, a malware prototype that integrates GPT-4 capabilities to assist in attacks. Unlike traditional malware, it can dynamically generate phishing content, craft convincing lures, and even create scripts on demand.

This isn’t science fiction—this is here now. SentinelOne researchers believe this could mark the beginning of an era where malware uses AI against defenders in real time. SunsetHost’s advice: lean into AI-driven defense platforms just as aggressively as attackers are leaning into AI-driven offense.

VPS Hosting: The Secure Alternative for Modern Enterprises

All of these headlines point to one truth: securing AI agents and enterprise systems isn’t optional. The foundation of security starts with the infrastructure itself. That’s why Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are increasingly the preferred solution for businesses that need a balance between dedicated resources and affordability.
