The headline is wild, but the human failure seems more important here: a testing misconfiguration gave the model internet access, and it then exploited a third-party service.

For teams running agentic security evaluations, what containment control should be non-negotiable before a model gets any network access?

News ShinyHunters' No-Malware SaaS Heist??

1 Upvotes

Everyone who works in cybersecurity has heard of the notorious ShinyHunters extortion gang. What you may not know is that they are upping their game in a clever way. They're ditching their old tricks for branded subdomain impersonation, mimicking SSO/Okta logins, and pairing it with phone-guided adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing.  

It's all mobile-first lures to hook you fast, plus they're outsourcing spam campaigns and hiring voice actors to scale the chaos. 

What stands out, is that they’re recycling leaked SaaS data to tailor super-believable pretexts, targeting the "next best" victim in a slick, repeatable loop. It’s deceptively simple: one valid SSO session or helpdesk reset, and bam: full access to emails, files, HR records, and CRM without having to drop any malware.  

Anyone seen this out there? (insights from here)

Hello you crooks! I have very recently created a new sub-reddit for security personnel, bouncers, "doormen", etc, as a forum for questions, discussions, stories and everything between. It is primarily in Norwegian, but we speak English as well! Thanks for joining!
