GC Solar and SEG-T Launch Development of AI-Powered Security Email Gateway SEG-T to Counter Advanced Phishing Campaigns
GC Solar and SEG-T have announced the launch of a new Security Email Gateway solution aimed at strengthening corporate email protection through advanced multi-agent AI filtering. The initiative is led by co-founder of Secure-T, Khariton Nikishkin, with support from GC Solar, and directly addresses the rapid growth of sophisticated phishing campaigns that increasingly rely on pre-built toolkits and artificial intelligence.
Modern phishing operations now combine ready-made components such as management panels, distribution infrastructure, anti-bot mechanisms, and one-time code interception modules. Attackers further enhance these campaigns by using AI to generate more convincing messages and scale their reach. SEG-T is being developed to go beyond conventional technical analysis by evaluating the semantic content of emails, including tone, signs of psychological manipulation, attempts to establish trust, create fear, or pressure recipients into immediate action.
The gateway will automatically block messages containing potentially dangerous elements such as links, archives, PDF files, executable files, SVG images, and other attachments that could carry malicious content. Developers have decided against including a built-in sandbox, arguing that the majority of current attacks rely on social engineering rather than malware code. However, the solution will allow integration with external sandboxes for high-risk attachments when needed.
SEG-T is designed to work seamlessly with other GC Solar products, including Solar webProxy for traffic inspection and Solar Dozor for monitoring the transmission of sensitive personal data such as INN, SNILS, passport details, and bank card numbers.
The platform will be available in multiple deployment models: cloud, on-premises networks, and Kubernetes environments. According to the developers, initial setup and commissioning of SEG-T should take approximately 15 minutes. GC Solar owns 49% of the project and previously increased its stake in Secure-T to a controlling interest. The new product continues the company’s strategic focus on defending against phishing, spam, malicious mailings, and targeted attacks on corporate email systems.

BI.ZONE Mail Security 3.0 Enhances Detection of Password-Protected Archives and Spam Variants
BI.ZONE has released Mail Security 3.0, introducing new mechanisms to detect email threats and improved tools for administrators. The updated system now assigns additional risk scores to password-protected archives when their contents cannot be unpacked, without automatically classifying the archive itself as malicious. It also compares message texts to identify near-identical emails used in spam campaigns where attackers slightly alter wording to evade filters. Administrators can now incorporate SPF and DKIM verification results into delivery rules to better distinguish legitimate senders from impersonators. According to BI.ZONE statistics, phishing accounted for 90 percent of illegitimate email traffic in the first half of 2026. Additional protections include CAPTCHA challenges after repeated failed login attempts on administrative accounts. The release also adds bulk management of rules, improved logging with a side panel for message details, a new Events section, and Syslog export to external SIEM systems.
F6 and MAX Neutralize Over 2,550 External Phishing and Scam Resources in Two-Month Operation
F6 and the MAX messenger have jointly blocked more than 2,550 malicious external websites used for phishing, scams, and other forms of online fraud. The effort relied on the F6 Digital Risk Protection platform, which continuously scans for fake authentication pages and fraudulent resources targeting users. Monitoring took place during July and August 2026, after which experts from both organizations arranged for the sites to be taken down. The action focused exclusively on external resources and did not involve any malicious content hosted inside the MAX messenger itself. F6 Digital Risk Protection head Stanislav Goncharov noted that regular takedowns can reduce attacker activity over time, yet users must still verify website addresses manually before entering credentials or payment data.
Trezor Warns of Email Provider Breach Used in Targeted Phishing Campaign Against Hardware Wallet Users
Trezor has disclosed that attackers compromised an external email provider and leveraged it to send phishing messages that appeared to originate from the company. The emails carried the subject line 'Critical Security Alert: STM32 Entropy Vulnerability' and falsely claimed a hardware flaw in STM32 microcontrollers that would reduce entropy and allow seed phrase reconstruction. No such CVE exists, and the campaign followed classic social-engineering patterns of urgency and brand impersonation aimed at stealing recovery phrases. Trezor has since disabled the malicious domain and continues investigating how the provider was accessed. Similar messages may have reached users of BitBox, suggesting possible compromise of shared service providers across the hardware wallet ecosystem. The incident underscores the difficulty of detecting phishing when it originates from legitimate third-party infrastructure.
Free Robux Lures Used in Phishing Campaign Targeting Children's Messenger Accounts
Scammers have launched a new wave of attacks aimed at children and teenagers by promising free in-game currency for Roblox, Brawl Stars, and Standoff 2. The scheme, uncovered by specialists from F6, uses short YouTube videos that direct victims to phishing sites disguised as reward platforms. One prominent site branded as NovaDrop tricks users into selecting a messenger and game before presenting a rigged roulette that awards a fake prize of 25,000 coins. To claim the reward, victims must enter a phone number and six-digit verification code, which actually authorizes the attackers in the chosen messenger. Once inside, the criminals can read conversations, view documents and media, access contacts, and send messages to the victim's friends while sometimes remaining undetected. The attackers are increasingly focused on hijacking existing accounts due to difficulties in purchasing new Russian profiles for their operations.
