AI agent hacks national finance ministry, Botnet uses blockchain, Healthcare chain reopens

Hospital ransomware fallout, blockchain botnet C2, and AI agent loose in Thailand's Finance Ministry.


South Carolina's AnMed reopened some physician offices four days into a ransomware attack with phones, internet, and systems still offline, forcing manual processes and in-person medication refills, as broader healthcare ransomware totals hit 410 attacks worldwide in the first half of the year and a HIPAA Security Rule update was delayed to 2027 while class-action efforts began.

Researchers report the Dysphoria IoT botnet moved command-and-control to blockchain name services and victim relays, making takedowns harder, with estimates above 200,000 bots and DDoS offerings up to 4 Tbps.

Shared Claude chats were briefly indexed by Google, exposing sensitive data via public share links, before results stopped appearing. Hunt.io found attackers running a Hermes autonomous AI agent in Thailand's Finance Ministry, plus new "Hades" malware, suggesting reconnaissance.

Stadler Rail refused a 10M CHF extortion demand tied to supplier data theft.
