The 5-Minute Cyber Brief
Good morning. Start with CISA’s KEV move on two exploited PaperCut flaws, because this is the kind of update that changes patch order immediately. Then move through the identity-pressure stories that show how Teams abuse, trusted channels, and ClickFix tradecraft keep turning ordinary workflow into attacker leverage.
Lead Story
CISA Adds Two Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog
This is not just another catalog update. CISA is effectively telling defenders that these flaws have crossed from known problem into active exploitation territory, which means affected environments now belong in the patch queue's front row. The signal here sits at the intersection of kev, advisories, critical infrastructure.

TerminalFix campaign deploys a reverse tunnel through multistage intrusion
Microsoft Threat Intelligence provides analysis of a ClickFix campaign that uses fake CAPTCHA prompts, DLL sideloading, and a reverse tunnel, with detections and hunting guidance.
Why it matters: This matters because ClickFix-style attacks keep evolving faster than user awareness programs do. Hiding payload stages in browser cache artifacts gives attackers another low-friction way to turn a convincing prompt into malware execution.

Identity Abuse Through Trusted Communication Channels
Unit 42 shows how attackers abuse trusted business channels like chat, support flows, meeting invites, and collaboration tools to make credential theft, MFA pressure, and remote-access abuse look like normal work.
Why it matters: This matters because strong identity controls still fail when attackers can hijack the workflow around them. If chat, support, and collaboration channels become the delivery path, MFA prompts and remote-access requests can feel routine right up until the compromise lands.
