Attackers continue to target critical infrastructure and government-linked organizations in the country, mirroring the increased activity across Latin America.
AI took center stage, but the clearest lesson was less about what AI can do than about who is accountable when something goes wrong
An Akira affiliate rebooted into Safe Mode to kill EDR and Defender, then Safe Mode broke their own ransomware. Here’s the full attack chain.
Something shifted in security operations over the last two years: AI stopped being a pilot program and became the plan.And if you survey 500 security professionals on whether that's going well – as Omdia did, commissioned by Rapid7 – you get a remarkable level of consensus: 97% report positive outcomes, 98% say AI reduces alert fatigue, and 95% say it's helping address staffing shortages.Those numbers are high enough that the story could stop there; AI is working, everyone agrees. Move on. But …
The big-box giant has scaled its defenses by encouraging trust and innovation. Good communications, transparency, and team spirit are key factors.
For over two decades, the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has served as the U.S. government repository for standards-based vulnerability management data and as a foundational resource for cybersecurity risk analysis, vulnerability management, compliance automation, and software security. New Opportunities for the NVD via Automation Our cybersecurity landscape is changing dramatically and is being reconfigured by artificial intelligence (AI) in unique, exciting, and yes, sometimes cha…
A newly disclosed flaw in the way OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google carried hidden AI reasoning between API calls let researchers recover internal reasoning and secrets from session logs, including API keys and passwords. The weakness affected encrypted reasoning objects used by the providers' reasoning APIs, where a block created in one session could be replayed into another and, during testing,
Enterprise defenses are tuned to catch the attacks that make noise. This year's data shows attackers winning by making none. According to Picus Labs' new Blue Report 2026, which measured more than 338 million real attack simulations across actual client production environments in the first half of 2026, defenses are having one of their strongest years yet. Average prevention effectiveness
Adobe has shipped updates to address multiple critical security vulnerabilities impacting ColdFusion, Commerce, and Campaign Classic that, if successfully exploited, could result in arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation.

Threat actors have begun to actively exploit a recently patched critical security flaw in Broadcom VMware vCenter, according to new findings from QUIRSO. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-59310 (CVSS score: 9.8), a directory-traversal vulnerability in the VMware vCenter server that a malicious actor with network access can exploit to execute arbitrary code. Patches for the flaw were
Two malicious LiteLLM releases sat on PyPI for about 40 minutes in March carrying credential-stealing code capable of harvesting cloud keys, SSH keys, Kubernetes tokens, database passwords, and other secrets from systems that installed them. Threat intelligence firm CloudSEK now says a dataset it obtained, built from roughly 434,000 files the attackers captured, maps potential exposure to more
SAP has released patches to address a maximum-severity security flaw impacting Commerce Cloud (Data Hub Adapter) that could result in arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability, assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2026-58231, is rated 10.0 on the CVSS scoring system. It has been described as a case of insufficient authorization checks and input validation. "SAP Commerce Cloud allows an
A new NFC relay malware designated as WindRelay, paired with SpyNote RAT enables live-call fraud, combining social engineering with dual digital and physical cash-out.
The security researcher going by the name Chaotic Eclipse (aka INFINITE NIGHTMARE, MSNightmare, and Nightmare-Eclipse) has released a proof-of-concept (PoC) for a new Microsoft zero-day called ShieldBreak. The vulnerability, rooted in Microsoft Defender for Windows, demonstrates a patch bypass for CVE-2026-50656 (CVSS score: 7.8), otherwise known as RoguePlanet. RoguePlanet has been described
Cisco has warned that a new vulnerability impacting Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software has been exploited in the wild. The high-severity flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-20349 (CVSS score: 8.6), is a case of insufficient error checking when processing HTTP requests that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger

Microsoft has released its monthly security update for August 2026, which includes 421 vulnerabilities affecting a range of products, including 62 that Microsoft marked as "critical."
Organizations operating in Germany and across Europe increasingly need to demonstrate cloud security compliance under the Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue (C5:2020), published by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Last year, we introduced Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS support for digital sovereignty and today we’re announcing the availability of a new independent assessment […]

Microsoft is publishing 421 vulnerabilities on August 2026 Patch Tuesday, including 236 vulnerabilities in Windows. This is lower volume than last month’s record-breaking behemoth, but still one of the largest Patch Tuesday totals ever. There is no reason to suppose that Patch Tuesday will ever return to the lower volumes we saw prior to 2026. Microsoft is aware of exploitation in the wild for one of the vulnerabilities published today, as well as public disclosure for two others, although the …
