AI overview

Acronis released its first TRU Cyber Pulse 2026 report on November 9, surveying cyber threats in 2026 and beyond, noting that AI can help a single attacker coordinate complex attacks, and warning that stolen credentials, tokens and API keys can extend an infection into cloud services, and that a single compromised MSP account or management tool could affect multiple customers. The next day, Help Net Security published an article introducing the report: more than 575 malicious OpenClaw skills disguised as utilities deliver trojans, cryptocurrency miners and infostealers to Windows and macOS, can combine instructions with executable code, and run using permissions the agent has already been granted. In the report's BOSSAI investigation, one operator connected more than 10 AI models to reconnaissance, scanning and exploitation tools, assigned tasks via WeChat and LINE, and monitored agent activity. The report also mentions malicious payloads on Hugging Face disguised as models, datasets and AI applications, and that stolen browser sessions can bypass new MFA verification to access associated cloud applications.

    More than 575 malicious OpenClaw skills deliver malware to Windows and macOS

    The Acronis TRU Cyber Pulse 2026 report documents attackers using AI agents to coordinate cyberattacks, and notes that more than 575 malicious OpenClaw skills disguised as utilities delivered trojans, cryptocurrency miners and infostealers to Windows and macOS systems. In an investigation named BOSSAI, an operator connected more than 10 AI models to reconnaissance, scanning and exploitation tools, assigning tasks and monitoring agent activity via WeChat and LINE. The report says these skills can combine instructions with executable code and run using permissions the agent has already been granted; malicious payloads disguised as models, datasets and AI applications also exist on Hugging Face. The report also notes that stolen browser sessions can bypass new MFA verification to access associated cloud applications.
