On May 20, 2026, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued sanctions against individuals and entities tied to two separate money laundering networks linked to the Sinaloa Cartel and its Chapitos faction for drug trafficking and money laundering activities. The sanctions targeted two criminal networks responsible for the illegal trafficking of fentanyl from Mexico into the United States and for laundering the proceeds through cryptocurrency exchange schemes. The action resulted from a coordinated investigation led by the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF), involving the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and OFAC, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059, which targets the proliferation of illicit drugs and their means of production, and E.O.

CyberCrisis🇦🇺Australia 🇲🇱Mali21d ago

Written by: Austin Larsen, Tyler McLellan, Genevieve Stark, Dan Ebreo Introduction Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has continued to track an expansive extortion campaign by UNC6671, a threat actor operating under the "BlackFile" brand, that targets organizations via sophisticated voice phishing (vishing) and single sign-on (SSO) compromise. By leveraging adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) techniques to bypass traditional perimeter defenses and multi-factor authentication (MFA), UNC6671 gains deep access to cloud environments. The group primarily targets Microsoft 365 and Okta infrastructure, leveraging Python and PowerShell scripts to programmatically exfiltrate sensitive corporate data for subsequent extortion attempts.

CyberCrisis🇲🇱Mali43d ago

Written by: JP Glab, Tufail Ahmed, Josh Kelley, Muhammad Umair Introduction Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) identified a multistage intrusion campaign by a newly tracked threat group, UNC6692, that leveraged persistent social engineering, a custom modular malware suite, and deft pivoting inside the victim’s environment to achieve deep network penetration. As with many other intrusions in recent years, UNC6692 relied heavily on impersonating IT helpdesk employees, convincing their victim to accept a Microsoft Teams chat invitation from an account outside their organization. The UNC6692 campaign demonstrates an interesting evolution in tactics, particularly the use of social engineering, custom malware, and a malicious browser extension, playing on the victim’s inherent trust in several different enterprise software providers.

Written by: Stuart Carrera Introduction Building on recent BRICKSTORM research from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), this post explores the evolving threats facing virtualized environments. These operations directly target the VMware vSphere ecosystem, specifically the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) and ESXi hypervisors. To help organizations stay ahead of these risks, we will focus on the essential hardening strategies and mitigating controls necessary to secure these critical assets.

Every year, the cyber threat landscape forces defenders to adapt to evolving adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). In 2025, Mandiant observed a clear divergence in adversary pacing that closely aligns with the trends we have been documenting for defenders over the past year. On one end of the spectrum, cyber criminal groups optimized for immediate impact and deliberate recovery denial.

Introduction Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a new iOS full-chain exploit that leveraged multiple zero-day vulnerabilities to fully compromise devices. Based on toolmarks in recovered payloads, we believe the exploit chain to be called DarkSword. Since at least November 2025, GTIG has observed multiple commercial surveillance vendors and suspected state-sponsored actors utilizing DarkSword in distinct campaigns.

CyberCrisis🇲🇱Mali81d ago

Written by: Bavi Sadayappan, Zach Riddle, Ioana Teaca, Kimberly Goody, Genevieve Stark Introduction Since 2018, when many financially motivated threat actors began shifting their monetization strategy to post-compromise ransomware deployments, ransomware has become one of the most pervasive threats to organizations across almost every industry vertical and region. In recent years ransomware operations have evolved, creating a robust ecosystem that has lowered the barrier to entry via the commoditization and specialization of the supporting underground communities, which is exemplified by the proliferation of the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. While ransomware remains a dominant threat due to the volume of activity and the potential for serious operational disruptions, we have observed multiple indicators that suggest the overall profitability of ransomware operations is in decline.

Written by: Matthew McWhirt, Bhavesh Dhake, Emilio Oropeza, Gautam Krishnan, Stuart Carrera, Greg Blaum, Michael Rudden UPDATE (March 13): Added guidance around abuse or misuse of endpoint / MDM platforms . Background Threat actors leverage destructive malware to destroy data, eliminate evidence of malicious activity, or manipulate systems in a way that renders them inoperable. Destructive cyberattacks can be a powerful means to achieve strategic or tactical objectives; however, the risk of reprisal is likely to limit the frequency of use to very select incidents.

CyberCrisis🇨🇳China 🇰🇵North Korea 🇲🇱Mali+192d ago

Written by: Casey Charrier, James Sadowski, Zander Work, Clement Lecigne, Benoît Sevens, Fred Plan Executive Summary Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) tracked 90 zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in-the-wild in 2025. Although that volume of zero-days is lower than the record high observed in 2023 (100), it is higher than 2024’s count (78) and remained within the 60–100 range established over the previous four years, indicating a trend toward stabilization at these levels. In 2025, we continued to observe the structural shift, first identified in 2024, toward increased enterprise exploitation.

Introduction Last week, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), Mandiant, and partners took action to disrupt a global espionage campaign targeting telecommunications and government organizations in dozens of nations across four continents. The threat actor, UNC2814, is a suspected People's Republic of China (PRC)-nexus cyber espionage group that GTIG has tracked since 2017. This prolific, elusive actor has a long history of targeting international governments and global telecommunications organizations across Africa, Asia, and the Americas and had confirmed intrusions in 42 countries when the disruption was executed.

Introduction Mandiant is tracking a significant expansion and escalation in the operations of threat clusters associated with ShinyHunters-branded extortion. As detailed in our companion report, 'Vishing for Access: Tracking the Expansion of ShinyHunters-Branded SaaS Data Theft' , these campaigns leverage evolved voice phishing (vishing) and victim-branded credential harvesting to successfully compromise single sign-on (SSO) credentials and enroll unauthorized devices into victim multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions. This activity is not the result of a security vulnerability in vendors' products or infrastructure.

CyberCrisis🇲🇱Mali 🇺🇸United States126d ago

Introduction Mandiant has identified an expansion in threat activity that uses tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) consistent with prior ShinyHunters-branded extortion operations. These operations primarily leverage sophisticated voice phishing (vishing) and victim-branded credential harvesting sites to gain initial access to corporate environments by obtaining single sign-on (SSO) credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes. Once inside, the threat actors target cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications to exfiltrate sensitive data and internal communications for use in subsequent extortion demands.
