Chinese tech organisation PCDIY found that errors in prerelease Phison firmware could be the cause of Windows 11 SSD problems. According to their studies, some SSDs come with engineering software that isnt meant for retail use, which could lead to drives crashing or disappearing from systems. No formal confirmation has been given, despite reports that Phison engineers confirmed the problem. Updates for Windows 11 have been ruled out by Microsoft as the primary cause. Although certain nonPhison SSDs were also identified, the majority of impacted drives had Phison controllers. Because firmware updates are risky, users are recommended to check and update their SSD firmware carefully on vendor websites. The circumstance emphasises how crucial strong quality control is while deploying firmware. Read More..

Palo Alto Networks Confirms Data Breach via Compromised Drift–Salesforce Integration

According to Palo Alto Networks, the Salesloft Drift application was the target of a massive supply chain attack that affected hundreds of victims. Over the course of ten days, hackers gained access to client environments by abusing OAuth and refresh tokens from SalesDrift, a thirdparty solution that connects Drifts AI chat to Salesforce. Internal sales records, support case data, and company contact information were all made public by the hack. Palo Alto promised that its key systems and products would not be impacted and disabled the hacked app. Zscaler, Cloudflare, and perhaps Google are among the other victims. Although the ransomware organisation ShinyHunters took credit, Google believes UNC6395 is a different threat actor. The issue highlights the hazards in interconnected SaaS ecosystems and is being compared to the MOVEit compromise. Read More..

Tencent, ByteDance, Alibaba Lead China’s Agentic AI Charge Against U.S. Rivals

The development of AI agentic frameworks is being accelerated by Chinas IT giants to compete with American platforms such as AutoGen and OpenAI Swarm.

The development of AI agentic frameworks is being accelerated by Chinas IT giants to compete with American platforms such as AutoGen and OpenAI Swarm. With a score of 71.47% on the WebWalkerQA test, Tencent just made its YoutuAgent, developed by Youtu Labs, publicly available. Alibaba first introduced QwenAgent in March, while ByteDance first debuted Coze Studio in July. These frameworks represent a critical advance in Chinas AI capabilities by enabling autonomous AI agents to plan and carry out difficult tasks. The increasing rivalry in creating scalable, intelligent agent platforms is reflected in the opensource releases. Indicating larger industry momentum, startups like Butterfly Effect are also joining the market with tools like Manus.

Silver Fox Hackers Exploit Trusted Windows Drivers to Deploy ValleyRAT Malware

Check Point Research claims that the Chinese hacker collective Silver Fox is using reliable Windows drivers to get around security measures and spread

Check Point Research claims that the Chinese hacker collective Silver Fox is using reliable Windows drivers to get around security measures and spread malware. After disabling antivirus and EDR software by abusing a weak WatchDog Antimalware driver amsdk.sys v1.0.600, the attackers installed ValleyRAT, a backdoor used for data theft, command execution, and espionage. In order to guarantee compatibility with Windows 7, 10, and 11, they also took advantage of a defective Zemana AntiMalware driver ZAM.exe. Hardcoded termination lists, persistence mechanisms, and antianalysis features are all included in the malware package. The privilege escalation vulnerability was fixed by WatchDog, however arbitrary process termination is still possible. To identify and stop such complex breaches, experts advise IT organisations to implement YARA rules, update Microsofts driver blocklist, and keep an eye on network activities. Read More..
