Malicious 'Edgecution' Extension Exploits Microsoft Edge Native Messaging for Ransomware Deployment

Security researchers reported on June 25, 2026, the discovery of a new malware campaign dubbed 'Edgecution,' which utilizes a malicious Microsoft Edge extension to deploy ransomware and a Python-based backdoor. The extension abuses the Native Messaging API to escape the browser sandbox and establish a persistent system-level executor. Attackers are reportedly using Microsoft Teams for social engineering, directing victims to fake 'Outlook Updates Management Console' websites to trick them into installing the malicious extension. This campaign is believed to be operated by an Initial Access Broker (IAB) linked to the 'Payout Kings' ransomware operation.

FortiBleed gekoppeld aan ransomwaregroepen INC en Lynx

The 'FortiBleed' cyber campaign, which previously exposed login credentials for thousands of Fortinet firewalls, has now been linked to the ransomware groups INC and Lynx. Forensic investigations revealed evidence on a Windows server used in the attack infrastructure, showing administrators had access to negotiation portals of both ransomware groups.
