ThreatLocker Highlights Key Cyber Threat Activity and Research from June 2026

Published

1 day ago

on

Recap includes AI cyber risk, software supply chain attacks, SaaS trust failures, zero-day exploits, and community support

ORLANDO, Fla., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ThreatLocker today released highlights of the company’s cybersecurity research, threat analysis, industry commentary, and community outreach from June.

“AI driven cyber threats continued to generate significant attention in June, but most of the attacks we looked at came back to the same issue: trusted access being misused,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO & Co-founder of ThreatLocker. “Attackers do not need everything to be vulnerable. They need one trusted path that gives them room to maneuver.”

Cybersecurity Trends and Industry Commentary

ThreatLocker examined how frontier AI models such as Claude Mythos and Claude Fable 5 are changing the way vulnerabilities are discovered and weaponized. The company cautioned that AI should not be treated as a separate category of risk; it is another way attackers can abuse trusted access. Five Eyes guidance on agentic AI threats was also reviewed, which pointed to Zero Trust as a practical way to place boundaries around AI systems and limit what attacks built with AI can access or execute.

Jenkins also spoke publicly about the limitations of restricting access to frontier AI models, noting that cybercriminals and foreign adversaries are unlikely to be stopped by limits on one model when stolen accounts, foreign models, and open-weight tools remain available. Additionally explored was how China’s GLM-5.2 shows how open-source AI is changing the cyber threat landscape, and how the LLMShare campaign exploits ChatGPT to deliver malware.

ThreatLocker Analysis of Supply Chain and Third-Party Risk

Researchers from the company continued to analyze supply chain attacks and third-party risk, with several June incidents showing how trusted repositories, software, and SaaS integrations can be abused.

The team examined how Red Hat npm packages were compromised with a credential-stealing worm, and how the Miasma worm targeted Microsoft and compromised 73 GitHub repositories. Both incidents highlighted the risks facing development environments where trusted packages can become part of the attack path.

ThreatLocker also analyzed the Mastra supply chain attack, including why the supply chain attack wasn’t about AI, but rather access, permissions, and account hygiene.

Additional analysis covered the Klue SaaS supply chain compromise, where attackers reportedly used long-lived OAuth tokens tied to Klue’s integration infrastructure to reach customer environments, including Salesforce. In a follow-up piece on what the Klue breach reveals about SaaS trust, ThreatLocker noted that the incident was not about a Salesforce vulnerability, but about the reach attackers can gain when a trusted third-party integration is abused.

Understanding New Exploits and Patch Pressure

The Threat Intelligence also tracked new exploit activity throughout June. The team was the first to validate that RoguePlanet, a Microsoft Defender zero-day, granted SYSTEM privileges on fully patched systems. The company also analyzed GreatXML and the WinRE trust boundary behind BitLocker, and continued examining what YellowKey and GreenPlasma reveal about trusting native Windows security.

These findings showed that patching remains essential, but it cannot be the only line of defense. As a result, ThreatLocker published guidance on balancing security, stability, and speed in patch management, emphasizing the need for controls that limit unauthorized execution and behavior while organizations test and deploy updates.

Education and Community

As part of its ongoing commitment to cybersecurity education, ThreatLocker hosted the webinar “MFA is not enough: How to stop phishing and session hijacking attacks”. The session explored how attackers steal credentials, hijack sessions, and bypass traditional access controls, and why organizations need to verify devices in addition to users, and limit access after login.

The organization also participated as a vendor at RejectionCon, where vendor fees helped support The Rural Tech Fund, generating an $80,000 donation to help expand access to technology education for students in rural classrooms across the United States.

Tiger Research Report: Institutional RWA Adoption Moves Beyond Tokenization to Capital Market Infrastructure Overhaul

Published

1 hour ago

on

July 7, 2026

By

SEOUL, South Korea, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tiger Research, a Seoul-based blockchain research firm, reports that institutional RWA tokenization has entered a new phase. The real transformation is not in placing assets onchain, but in reconstructing the clearing systems, settlement layers, and liquidity networks underpinning every institutional transaction.

According to rwa.xyz, onchain-issued assets reached approximately USD 34 billion as of May 2026, more than 20 times the USD 1.5 billion recorded in early 2020. Including represented assets, where ownership is recorded onchain while physical assets remain with custodians, the total rises to approximately USD 360 billion.

Tiger Research identifies four capital market verticals where onchain infrastructure is already operational. In short-term funding, Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo platform, built on the Canton Network, processes USD 7.7 trillion in monthly settlement volume, with average daily volume of USD 368 billion as of April 2026. In securities settlement, the DTCC partnered with Digital Asset and received a no-action letter from the SEC in December 2025 to tokenize U.S. Treasuries, targeting an MVP in the first half of 2026. In capital raising, the Hong Kong government issued HKD 6 billion in digital green bonds through HSBC Orion in February 2024, compressing settlement from T+5 to T+1, with bonds deployed as repo collateral within days. In digital payments, Bitwave built a private B2B stablecoin infrastructure on Canton, integrating directly with enterprise ERP systems.

Tiger Research identifies three shared infrastructure requirements: transaction-level privacy, atomic settlement, and a public permissioned structure satisfying BCBS requirements. Permissionless blockchains carry risk weights of up to 1,250% under BCBS Group 2 classification, creating a significant balance sheet burden for regulated institutions.

To illustrate how these conditions are met, the report features Canton Network as a case study. Designed for institutional finance from the outset, Canton was developed by Digital Asset, which received investment from institutions including JPMorgan, Citi, Goldman Sachs, and DTCC. The firm drew on experience from projects such as the ASX settlement system replacement and the DTCC credit derivatives infrastructure rebuild in shaping Canton’s architecture. Canton embeds authorization and privacy at the smart contract level, limits validation to transaction parties, and enables atomic settlement without asset bridging.

Its Asia expansion is accelerating. In Korea, following STO legislation passed in January 2026, Hanwha Investment & Securities partnered with Digital Asset, while Shinhan Asset Management, Shinhan Securities, and KB Securities signed agreements with the Canton Foundation in June 2026. In Japan, JSCC, Nomura Holdings, and Mizuho Financial Group launched a proof-of-concept using Japanese government bonds. In Hong Kong, Canton has been integrated into the Central Moneymarkets Unit at the monetary authority level.

“Capital market infrastructure, once built, does not change easily,” said Seungsik Yoon, who leads Tiger Research’s Research Center and authored the report. “The gap between institutions that join while standards are still being set and those that try to catch up later only widens over time.”

Tiger Research concludes that regulatory clarity, institutional demand, and infrastructure maturity present the most favorable conditions yet for institutions evaluating onchain capital market infrastructure.
