Microsoft’s November update fixes an exploited Windows Kernel zero-day (CVE-2025-62215) and a critical zero-click GDI+ RCE (CVE-2025-60724). Therefore, prioritize domain controllers, management servers, upload-handling services, and developer workstations using WSLg. Then complete fleet rollout and validate Kerberos delegation settings to blunt identity abuse.
Russia introduced a 24-hour SIM cooling-off period after roaming or 72 hours of inactivity. Consequently, data and SMS pause while operators run anti-abuse checks, verify identity, and restore access in stages.
KONNI operators hijack Google accounts, pivot into Find Hub, track target locations, and trigger remote resets on Android blending valid features with malicious intent while evading conventional controls.
APT37 used stolen Google credentials to access Find Hub, check Android device locations, and trigger remote factory resets. The tactic lives in the cloud, not on the handset, so identity controls matter most. Enforce phishing-resistant MFA, restrict console actions, and rehearse rapid re-enrollment.
Firefox now narrows high-entropy signals used for browser fingerprinting, so fewer users appear unique across sessions. Consequently, trackers lose stable identifiers while sites keep working. For enterprises, the update simplifies privacy baselines and reduces covert tracking surfaces without heavy configuration or breakage.
Ludwigshafen detected suspicious activity and took city IT offline to contain risk. Teams isolate systems, assess scope, and plan a safe, phased restoration while core services continue with workarounds.
Threat actors now pair generative AI with trusted cloud apps to breach manufacturing. They deliver malware through OneDrive/GitHub, steal API keys and tokens, and persist via OAuth consent. Without governed AI usage, Cloud DLP, and consent controls, factories face quiet IP theft and escalating downtime risks.
Gemini’s Deep Research now taps Gmail, Drive, and Chat when users allow it. Because the agent can fuse internal messages and files with web context, output quality rises along with privacy risk. This guide shows how to roll out safely: set consent norms, restrict high-risk teams, validate audit coverage, and keep DLP and labels active so Deep Research never reads more than policy permits.
ClickFix campaigns scale by coaching users to “fix” access issues with copy-paste commands. After the click, actors steal Microsoft 365 tokens or credentials and, in some cases, drop PureRAT for persistence. Break the flow by enforcing admin-only app consent, requiring phishing-resistant MFA, and blocking browser-to-shell chains. Investigate mailbox rules, token reuse, and OAuth grants whenever ClickFix pages appear in referral logs.
Smishing texts now target lost iPhone owners with fake “found” alerts and cloned iCloud pages. Verify only in Find My, keep Activation Lock tied to your Apple ID, and avoid links in messages. Set a SIM PIN, rotate your Apple ID password, and review trusted devices to prevent account takeover.
