   CopperDragon’s Sparrow framework deployed in campaigns targeting telecom and government

   Check Point Research identified three operational clusters-SilentDelivery, OceanGate, and DarkWire-across Latin America, Asia, and Europe that used the Sparrow malware framework. The campaigns targeted telecommunications providers, government agencies, military entities, research institutions, and critical infrastructure, employing shared infrastructure and varied initial-access techniques such as watering-hole attacks. New tools and both Windows and Linux variants were also uncovered.

   Why it matters: Enterprises in affected sectors should monitor for Sparrow indicators and harden internet-facing assets.

   Researchers use AI agents to reconstruct Slack code and add local autocomplete feature

   Intezer researchers employed AI agents to rebuild source code for Slack from binaries and vendor documentation. The reconstructed Slack instance functioned sufficiently to integrate a local AI text autocomplete model. The effort demonstrates that compiled binaries can be reverse-engineered to recreate functional software.

   Why it matters: Vendors should consider protecting code beyond compilation, as AI can recreate functionality from binaries.
