Within 90 seconds of compromise, a threat actor triggered multiple post-access sequences. Our threat researchers believe this activity was AI-enabled. Our new blog examines this active TeamFiltration campaign, tracked as UNK_CondorFiltration. proofpoint.com/us/blog/threa…

🤝 No single vendor can secure the agentic enterprise alone. That's why we're launching the @the_blueprintai — cross-industry coalition with @AWS , @CrowdStrike , @databricks , @Docker , @GEAppliancesCo , @googlecloud , @Lovable , @proofpoint , @salesforce , @ServiceNow , @wiz_io , @WCKitchen , and @zscaler . Together, we're building an open reference architecture to answer 4 critical questions: Where are my agents? What can they do? What are they doing? How do I respond?

Russian state-backed hackers have spent the past year targeting employees in the US and NATO countries using an email exploit that steals comms just by having a target open a message, no clicks required. Our @greglesnewich shared his insights with @CNN. cnn.com/2026/07/23/politics/…

🚨 We are following up with additional observations of the TA488’s use of “half-click” exploits. The group has initiated a new wave of exploitation abusing a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, CVE-2026-42897, in Outlook Web Access (OWA). New blog: proofpoint.com/us/blog/threa…
Today we are releasing a pair of reports: First: a joint release with NSA, FBI, and the allies, on TA488 (Void Blizzard, Laundry Bear) using half-click XSS exploits
