This Wednesday morning, the cybersecurity world grapples with the rapid acceleration of AI-driven threats and the urgent need for new defense strategies. Both Unit 42 and BankInfoSecurity report a new threat called "phantom squatting," where bad actors register fake web domains hallucinated by large language models, or LLMs. This allows them to intercept traffic and poses a major risk to the software supply chain. Unit 42 researchers identified over 13,000 malicious URLs linked to this tactic.
