What happened

Sophos security news covering AI-brand impersonation malware campaigns, August 2026 Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities, NetNTLMv1 attack optimization, ClickFix and Deno-based infostealer delivery, alternative runtime and LOLBin abuse, and Interlock ransomware operations abusing legitimate DFIR tools. The most directly actionable threats are credential-relay/hash-cracking exposure from legacy NetNTLMv1, infostealer campaigns using compromised WordPress sites and fileless execution, and ransomware activity involving dual extortion and defense-evasion techniques.
