A Skill Is Just Text.
So Is a Backdoor.

INSTRUCTION FILES YOUR AGENT READS — AND NOBODY OPENS.

Rule files, hooks, and CLAUDE.md run automatically the moment an agent loads them. Mitiga Labs found instruction files quietly recording prompts, tokens, and environment variables, then shipping them out. No malware, often no audit log.

What We Saw in 2025.
What Comes Next.

The cloud attack campaigns and research that defined a year.

From Attacks to Zero Impact

Mitiga Labs is where we take apart cloud, SaaS, identity, third-party services and AI attacks, then write what they find into the detections customers run. Those detections interrupt the next attack before it reaches the business. That's Zero-Impact Breach Prevention.
