  1. Inside a malicious Claude Code-branded extension and its persistent SSH backdoor

    Microsoft Threat Intelligence analyzes a tampered anthropic.claude-code extension (versions 2.1.312 and 2.1.313) served on the Cursor marketplace on 29 October 2026. The injected JavaScript loader adds an SSH key labeled svc-telemetry, opens a reverse SSH tunnel and sets up persistence on macOS, Linux and Windows. The post gives cleanup steps, IOCs and Defender XDR hunting queries. VS Code Marketplace and npm were not affected.

  2. Binance’s $6.3 Billion Hack Puts Developer Machine Security in Focus

    StepSecurity's analysis of Binance's 29 October 2026 incident, which Binance puts at about $6.3 billion in affected assets. It covers Binance's disclosure of a possible DevOps laptop compromise, and TRM Labs and Elliptic findings on 50 EIP-7702 authorizations and a persistent delegation. It links this to the Nx, OVHcloud CLI and Claude Code extension compromises, gives an investigation checklist, then describes StepSecurity products.

  3. Polymarket Sends $3.9M Back to Traders After Vendor Script Drain

    Polymarket's international site was hit on 29 October 2026 when a page-speed monitoring script served from DebugBear's CDN was replaced with a drainer. It hijacked logged-in sessions for about an hour and took $2.7M from 726 wallets via Polymarket's relayer. Scott Helme of Report URI says the CSP allowlisted every domain used and that hash pinning would have blocked the swapped file. Polymarket is repaying $3.9M, and this is its second vendor-script compromise since June.

  4. Trezor warns of suspected crypto-theft implant in hardware wallet

    Trezor warns of a suspected crypto-theft implant in a Trezor Safe 5 sold by reseller CryptoBilis in Southeast Asia. An Indonesian buyer found an extra board with a cellular module and antenna between the main board and screen, apparently able to read the recovery phrase and send it over mobile networks. Trezor has not examined the device, advises moving funds to a new wallet for any CryptoBilis purchase since March 2026, and notes a similar Ledger implant was confirmed.

  5. Malicious Claude Code extension on Cursor planted SSH backdoors

    A malicious version 2.1.313 of Anthropic's Claude Code extension was served from Cursor's marketplace for about 11 hours on 29 October 2026, reaching up to 5,000 developers. A JavaScript loader prepended to extension.js added an attacker SSH key, a reverse tunnel and macOS/Windows persistence, and reported to 134.209.82[.]225. Coding errors likely blocked SSH access on many hosts. Cursor removed it and rotated keys; victims should look for an 'svc-telemetry' SSH key.

  6. Binance hack: how a compromised developer laptop can lead to a $6.3 billion breach

    Aikido Security's analysis of the roughly $6.3 billion Binance incident, which Binance says may have started with a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop. It sets out what is known (no private key leak, TraderTraitor attribution by TRM Labs and Chainalysis, additional breach points) and a plausible chain from laptop credentials to a withdrawal service. It compares the 2025 Bybit theft and lists mitigations.

    A post relaying Cursor's security advisory: a modified, malicious Claude Code VS Code extension was distributed through the Cursor extension marketplace, affecting at most 5,000 users. Anthropic did not develop that version, and other extensions are not affected. Users of Claude Code in Cursor are told to update to version 2.1.314. The post adds that marketplaces need publisher verification and package integrity checks. It gives no technical detail on the payload.

    Trezor warned buyers of its wallets from reseller CryptoBilis (March 2026 onward) to move funds, after an Indonesian customer reported a hardware implant in a Safe 5 bought in August 2026. The report describes a board with a cellular module between mainboard and screen that reads the wallet backup and sends it over a mobile network. Trezor has not yet examined the device. It found no tampering in four other CryptoBilis units.

    Analysis of a trojanized anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313 extension (darwin-arm64), found on Open VSX, with a 66-line loader prepended to extension.js. It adds an svc-telemetry key to authorized_keys, opens a reverse SSH tunnel to 134.209.82.225, sets persistence (LaunchAgent, cron, scheduled task) and sends host recon over HTTP port 8099. Includes IOCs, hashes and response steps; no further payload download was found.

    Polymarket halted trading on 29 October after users reported unauthorized withdrawals traced to malicious JavaScript served from DebugBear's real user monitoring snippet. Hudson Rock's sample abused the authenticated session to sell positions or send tokens to a hard-coded address, without exfiltrating credentials. Loss estimates range from $2.19 million to $2.71 million (GoPlus), and Polymarket pledged reimbursement.

An Indonesian customer reported a Safe 5 bought via Tokopedia in August 2026 with an extra board holding a cellular module that allegedly sends the wallet backup out. Trezor has not yet examined the device. Ledger separately confirmed tampering on CryptoBilis devices in October 2026.

An IIFE prepended to extension.js plants an SSH key, opens a reverse SSH tunnel to 134.209.82[.]225, persists via a fake com.apple.sysmond LaunchAgent and beacons host recon. A macOS systemsetup check bug usually stops SSH from being enabled. The post lists detections and remediation.

    Polymarket put its exchange in cancel-only mode and paused relayer actions on 29 October 2026 after users reported funds withdrawn without permission.

    Alpine Linux incident report on attempted exploitation of CVE-2026-97229 (CVSS 10.0), a regex-evaluation bug in Ruby's Onigmo engine reachable through GitLab CI configuration. An attacker crashed workers 8 times on 20 and 21 October 2026. Upgrading to GitLab 19.3.6 did not fix it because the patch sits in GitLab's bundled Ruby. Alpine rebuilt the instance and found no tampering with aports or releases.
