What happened The developer, mSeven Software, sent an email to current and former mSecure customers saying it had recently learned of suspicious activity linked to the app. It urged people to consider changing their passwor

Network security appliances are meant to protect an organization, which makes it especially uncomfortable when they become the way in. Barracuda has disclosed two vulnerabilities in its products that, used together, could let an attacker take full control of a device. What was disclosed The two flaws are a pre-authentication authorization bypass, tracked as CVE-2026-116606 with a severity score of 9.3, and a command injection flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-111560 with a score of 8

PHP quietly runs a huge share of the internet, from small blogs to enterprise portals and the web interfaces of network devices. So when two critical flaws in PHP itself start being exploited, the number of potentially exposed systems is enormous. That is the situation behind PHP2Shell. What CISA announced On Monday, October 26, 2026, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency added two PHP vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which c

A message from “IT Support” appears in your Microsoft Teams. Your inbox has just been flooded with hundreds of spam emails, and the helpful technician offers to fix it. It feels like exactly the kind of help you need, which is why this scam works so well. What researchers found Arctic Wolf Labs reported what it calls a recurring social engineering pattern across hundreds of cases. Attackers use Teams’ external chat feature to message employees from outside the organization wh

Email gateways sit at the front door of an organization’s inbox, filtering spam, malware and other threats before they reach employees. When that front door has a flaw, an attacker needs nothing more than a single email to get in, and that is what Cisco is now warning about. What happened Cisco says attackers are actively exploiting a critical flaw in its Secure Email Gateway, tracked as CVE-2026-76519 and scored 9.8 out of 10. An unauthenticated attacker can send an email wi

Firewalls and VPN gateways sit at the edge of a network, so a compromise there can give an attacker a view of everything behind it. Researchers at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 have now described a malware implant that takes advantage of exactly that position, and that was built to leave almost no trace. What was discovered Unit 42 detailed a previously unreported malware called PEERSTITCH, a memory-resident implant for 64-bit ARM Linux that runs on Fortinet’s FortiOS. According

If you saved your OpenAI, Anthropic or Google API key in a hosted tool, you are trusting that tool to protect one of the most valuable credentials you own. A recent incident at OpenCode shows what happens when that trust is tested. What happened OpenCode said an intruder reached a legacy system on the night of October 16 and may have exposed the third-party AI provider keys that some users had stored in OpenCode Console. Console is the company’s optional hosted service, where

Google has announced Gemini 4 Argon, its newest frontier AI model, but you won’t find it in the regular Gemini app yet. Instead, it is being rolled out to a select group of trusted cyber defenders through a program called Fairwind. The reason is simple: the model is very good at finding security flaws, which makes it useful to defenders and dangerous in the wrong hands. What Argon is built for Koray Kavukcuoglu, who leads AI architecture at Google, described Argon as deliveri

Your browser extension store feels like a safe place, but it isn’t always. Security researchers at Socket recently uncovered 16 malicious Firefox extensions disguised as popular crypto wallets, and their only job was to steal the most valuable secret a crypto user owns: the recovery phrase. What happened The extensions posed as wallet portals, desktop utilities and browser tools. Four of them were clones of Rabby Wallet and the other twelve imitated OKX Wallet. They looked an

You visit a website and a CAPTCHA or error message appears, telling you to press Win + R, paste a command and hit Enter. It feels like routine troubleshooting, but it is one of the most effective attack techniques of the last two years, and it just became stealthier. What ClickFix is ClickFix is a social engineering attack that does not exploit a software bug. Instead, the attacker convinces you to run the malicious command yourself. A victim is led to a fake or compromised w
