What happened

A broad set of cybersecurity developments: Anthropic launched Claude Security (AI-driven code scanning) in public beta while researchers — using AI — uncovered a nine-year-old Linux kernel vulnerability. Multiple active threats and incidents were reported including Deep#Door (Python RAT) evading detection, a malicious npm dependency and worm-like npm supply‑chain malware targeting developers and crypto wallets, and a critical flaw that turns Vect ransomware into an irreversible data‑destroying wiper. Large-scale compromises continue (KELA’s 2.9 billion credentials, Medtronic breach claims, 610
