APT28 harvested Microsoft Office tokens from 200+ organisations by redirecting router DNS. No malware, no direct breach, no alerts. The stolen tokens end up inside your environment. The only way to catch it is by hunting for what the attacker does next.

Never Hunt Alone.

Someone Bought 30 WordPress Plugins and Planted a Backdoor in All of Them Thanks to a very helpful reply from the author, I have more IoCs and details. The Plugins I was able to find the plugins and related changes to the code on GitHub: Pick any repo and you’ll likely find the same code Austin mentioned in the original blog post. Here’s a random example, with the Git Blame putting the change on 2025-11-12. Not sure why the date discrepancy with Austin’s timeline, but perhaps GitHub changes were mirrored from someplace else. Now, onto the blockchain. ...

Following up on an excellent blog post we discovered (linked in thread), we dug a little deeper on a recent #WordPress plugin compromise. We have more IoCs, and evidence of initial access auctions via the blockchain.

A new RSAC report maps eight phases of modern intrusions. One thing is consistent: attacks aren't at the perimeter anymore. They exploit the gap between what your tools see and what's actually happening.

That's a threat hunting problem.
