Clop Develops Custom Web Shell for Attacks on PTC WindchillSecurity

Clop Develops Custom Web Shell for Attacks on PTC Windchill

Cybersecurity experts at ReliaQuest have uncovered a unique web shell developed by the Clop hacking group for attacks on PTC Windchill and FlexPLM servers. The Java-based tool leverages Windchill’s internal APIs and database structures, enabling threat actors to bypass standard detection mechanisms. The attacks exploit the critical vulnerability CVE-2026-12569, which allows remote code execution. According to researchers, the web shell has been used to steal sensitive data and extort affected organizations.

Why Signature-Based Defenses Miss Attacks: Behavior vs. SignaturesSecurity

Why Signature-Based Defenses Miss Attacks: Behavior vs. Signatures

According to Picus Security’s 2026 report, corporate defense systems now block 69% of attacks on average, but this figure masks critical vulnerabilities. Signature-based solutions effectively neutralize known threats but consistently miss modified versions that use the same techniques with less detectable methods. For instance, traditional credential theft via Mimikatz is blocked 94% of the time, while alternative approaches—such as registry scraping or memory reads—are only stopped in 3–17% of cases. This highlights a major flaw: IOC-based testing is insufficient.

Google Implements New App Installation Process from Unverified Sources on Android

Google has started implementing controversial changes to the app installation mechanism on Android from unverified sources. The new process, called "Advanced Flow," requires users to complete several steps, including a device reboot and a 24-hour waiting period before they can install APK files from developers not verified by Google. The update is being rolled out gradually and will become mandatory on September 30 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, with plans to expand globally by 2027.

TikTok Tests Peer-to-Peer Payments via Direct Messages

TikTok is exploring a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment feature that allows users to send money through direct messages. According to Bloomberg, references to this option were discovered in the code of the U.S. iOS app, leveraging the existing TikTok Pay system already used for purchases in TikTok Shop. While recipients can accept transfers with a single tap, senders can accompany them with text messages, similar to Venmo’s functionality. However, the feature is not yet in testing, indicating an early development stage. Official launch timelines remain undisclosed.

Snowflake Introduces AI Model Auto-Routing to Cut CostsArtificial intelligence

Snowflake Introduces AI Model Auto-Routing to Cut Costs

Enterprises scaling AI agents face a critical challenge: a single model can’t handle all tasks efficiently. Expensive models waste resources on simple queries, while weaker ones fail on complex workloads. Snowflake’s new auto-routing feature in Cortex AI Gateway solves this by dynamically selecting the optimal model for each request. By leveraging a lightweight classifier and historical request data, the system routes simple tasks to cost-effective models while reserving powerful ones for demanding workloads. This reduces token costs by up to threefold without compromising quality.

How to Extract Residual Energy from 'Dead' Batteries Using PhysicsHardware

How to Extract Residual Energy from 'Dead' Batteries Using Physics

Most users assume a battery is 'dead' when a device stops working, but chemical energy often remains. The 'Joule Thief' circuit—a transformer and transistor setup—can extract this residual charge to power low-energy devices like flashlights or remotes. This method not only extends battery life but also demonstrates electromagnetic induction principles, similar to those in generators and induction cooktops.
