What happened
This Dark Reading feed highlights multiple high-impact trends and active threats: a Secure Boot blind spot where revoked/forgotten UEFI shim bootloaders remained trusted, creating a practical Secure Boot bypass; an expanding class of AI/agentic threats and prompt-injection flaws (Claude PromptFiction, GitLost, Dialogflow Rogue Agent, JadePuffer LLM-driven ransomware) that enable data theft, lateral compromise and automated ransomware; developer- and supply-chain risks (Cursor IDE auto-exec, poisoned repos, 2-click cursor exploit, GitHub workflow leak); ongoing exploitation of high-value remote
