AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A 27‑year‑old Bengaluru resident, Kamlesh Kumar, fell victim to a simulated‑swap fraud that cost him roughly ₹7.18 lakh. After his long‑used Airtel number (8971923161) was unexpectedly deactivated on May 25, he learned it had been illicitly ported to Jio and transferred to an unknown person named Shahbach Ansari. Between May 27‑29, the fraudsters accessed his bank accounts—including overdraft, savings and current accounts—using his banking credentials, moving funds to unknown accounts and even changing the email linked to his accounts. Kumar filed a police report, and a case was registered under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Sections 318 and 319 of the Bombay Penal Code for identity theft, cheating and personation. He alleges negligence by both service providers for allowing the number to be ported without his consent.

Even ransomware groups have rules.
And when one affiliate breaks them, the fallout can be surprisingly public.

A ransomware affiliate linked to the RAlord operation reportedly infected Eriell Group, a major oilfield services company with operations in Uzbekistan and Russia. The problem? The attack allegedly violated a long-standing unwritten rule in cybercrime circles: don't target organizations in Russia or other CIS countries.

According to reports, Eriell Group contacted Nova, RAlord's affiliate program, directly. The response was unusual. Nova reportedly banned the responsible affiliate, issued a formal apology, offered free recovery assistance, and promised not to leak any stolen data.

Operation FlutterBridge: macOS Malvertising Campaign Spreads New FlutterShell Backdoor

A financially-motivated cybercrime cluster designated CL-CRI-1089 has launched Operation FlutterBridge, deploying FlutterShell backdoor malware targeting macOS systems through malvertising.

The malware uses a WebView-based architecture with JavaScript-to-native bridge, allowing attackers to dynamically modify behavior without recompiling. Distribution occurs through hundreds of Google-verified advertisements controlled by shell companies including AdsParkPro LTD and Advantage Web Marketing LLC. The campaign primarily targets Anglophone and Western European markets. All samples were signed with valid Apple Developer IDs and successfully passed notarization, achieving zero detections on VirusTotal initially.
