A novel malware family named LameHug is using a large language model (LLM) to generate commands to be executed on compromised Windows systems. LameHug was discovered by Ukraine’s national cyber incident response team (CERT-UA) and attributed the attacks to Russian state-backed threat group APT28 (a.k.a. Sednit, Sofacy, Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear, STRONTIUM, Tsar Team, Forest Blizzard). The malware is written in Python and relies on the Hugging Face API to interact with the Qwen 2.5-Coder-32B-Instr

A new report suggests that many people who belong to Gen Z use Find My and other apps to permanently share their location with groups of friends. A study earlier in the year found that 40% of Gen Z adults share their location with three or more people, and a new piece found it was common to location-share with double digit numbers of friends … Gen Z is generally defined as those born between 1997 and 2012, so current ages would be roughly 13 to 28.

The reverse acquihire of Windsurf by Google is more than a corporate reshuffle. It offers a rare glimpse into the strategic realignments happening in AI-powered developer tools – a space that is powerful, promising, but still deeply unsettled. Windsurf set out with an ambitious bet: bringing “agentic” capabilities directly into the IDE.
