A sophisticated phishing campaign spoofing India’s Ministry of Defence has been uncovered. The operation, which mirrors tactics seen in previous ClickFix-style attacks, appears to be the work of the Pakistan-linked threat group APT36 (Transparent Tribe). It uses cloned government branding and cross-platform malware delivery to target unsuspecting users. Deceptive Infrastructure Mimics Official Government Portal Researchers at hunt.io discovered a fake domain (email.gov.in.drdosurvey[.]info) designed to closely resemble the official Ministry of Defence press release portal. The malicious site mimicked the layout and structure of the real press archive, but with a critical difference: only the link for March 2025 was active,…

One of the largest data breaches in U.S. educational history is worsening, as the attacker behind the December 2024 cyberattack on PowerSchool is now directly extorting affected schools, threatening to leak sensitive student and teacher data unless ransom payments are made.  PowerSchool, a widely used student information system (SIS) platform across American K–12 institutions, confirmed that the breach compromised.
