What happened
SANS ISC diary roundup (July 7–13, 2026): reports of active scans looking for exposed MCP servers and AI-assistant credentials; Wireshark 4.6.7 released (fixes 12 vulnerabilities); a write-up on a novel phishing evasion technique using HTML comment stuffing to bypass AI-based detection; analysis pieces on stack behavior and odd DNS records (NIMLOC); plus several short Stormcast podcast entries and a guest diary. Key operational concern is credential/exposure scanning for AI-assistant endpoints and services.
