AI Skill Malware and the Record-Breaking 31Tbps DDoS [Prime Cyber Insights]

This episode of Prime Cyber Insights explores the rapidly expanding threat surface of 2026, where attackers are increasingly abusing trusted ecosystems and automated workflows. We break down the security concerns surrounding OpenClaw and its new VirusTotal partnership, the discovery of over 1,000 malicious 'claw' packages on registries, and the critical 'meta-context injection' vulnerability in DockerDash. The team also analyzes the record-breaking 31.4 Tbps DDoS attack by the AISURU botnet and the Lotus Blossom supply chain attack targeting Notepad++ users. Finally, we examine high-profile breaches at the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the European Commission, alongside a shocking $66 million physical 'wrench attack' on a crypto holder in Arizona, illustrating how digital risks are manifesting in the physical world.

In this high-velocity briefing, we dive into the shift from traditional malware to the manipulation of agentic AI ecosystems and trusted developer tools. Our team examines how OpenClaw and the newly discovered DockerDash vulnerabilities represent a new class of threats targeting autonomous AI agents. We also analyze the sheer scale of modern infrastructure attacks, specifically the record-setting 31.4 Tbps DDoS event and the persistent supply chain compromise of Notepad++ by the Lotus Blossom actor. The discussion covers the sobering reality of security leaders becoming targets themselves, as seen in the Ivanti zero-day exploits hitting the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the European Commission's mobile management systems. Finally, we look at the intersection of cyber and physical security following the arrest of two teenagers in a $66 million crypto extortion plot involving Signal and 3D-printed weaponry.
