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.
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.
The UK is investigating whether Yutong electric buses can be remotely deactivated. Norway’s Faraday-cage tests and Denmark’s review raised alarms about SIM-enabled diagnostics and OTA updates. Operators should lock down telematics, broker OTA, and drill outage response now.
Seven zero-day vulnerabilities affecting QTS/QuTS hero and popular QNAP apps were exploited at a live event. Update OS and apps, remove internet exposure, and enforce MFA. Verify snapshots and offline backups, stream logs off-box, and alert on admin anomalies and backup job edits to prevent data loss.
Encrypted doesn’t mean invisible. Microsoft’s “Whisper Leak” shows a passive observer can classify AI chat topics by watching packet sizes and timing on streaming language models. Here’s how the side-channel works, who can exploit it, and which mitigations actually move the needle.
Cephalus ransomware breaks in through exposed or weak RDP, steals data, and launches a Go-based encryptor that disables backups and evades analysis with DLL sideloading and key obfuscation. Consequently, victims encounter fast double-extortion pressure and noisy business disruption unless identity and remote-access controls stop the chain early.
aurologic GmbH (AS30823) operates a multi-terabit backbone out of Langen and connects multiple high-risk hosting providers including sanction-linked entities—giving malware C2 and staging servers durable reach. This analysis explains why upstream neutrality often translates into enablement, how TAEs cluster under aurologic, and what blue teams can do: upstream-aware detections, deny-by-default on risky cones, flowspec/RTBH during incidents, and procurement levers that force faster de-peering.
A China-linked crew still breaks in through legacy CVEs Log4j, Struts, Confluence, GoAhead then hides behind scheduled tasks and msbuild.exe to run memory-resident payloads. They probe domain controllers with DCSync, and they target misconfigured IIS by abusing ASP.NET machine keys to deploy TOLLBOOTH with SEO cloaking. Reduce risk by patching edge services, restricting LOLBAS on servers, rotating machine keys, and alerting on replication from non-DC hosts.
A cluster of malicious NuGet packages plants delayed logic bombs that crash apps, corrupt databases, and disrupt Siemens S7 PLCs. Remove the dependencies, rebuild from clean mirrors, and test with date-manipulation harnesses. Lock down registries, verify publishers, and stream build/runtime logs off-box to detect abuse early.
