About 20 years ago, with macOS 10.5 (Leopard), Apple introduced screen sharing. Apple did not invent a new protocol for screen sharing. Instead, it used the established VNC protocol. VNC is a pretty simple, unencrypted protocol using TCP port 5900. Historically, the protocol used a simple global password for authentication. Apple adapted the protocol for its own use, but overall, left the VNC protocol itself alone.
CVE-2026-54121 lets a standard domain user turn your Enterprise CA into a Domain Controller. The patch is the easy part. The lesson is standing privilege, implicit trust, and treating PKI as the Tier 0 identity infrastructure it has always been. [...]
The expensive attacks are not always the clever ones. This week had plenty of proof. Exposed services got hit, old bugs found fresh use, browser sessions became attack paths, and supply-chain problems kept spreading farther than the original compromise. A lot of it came down to access that was already there and defenses that assumed nobody would look too closely. So, nothing magical. Just a

Ukraine’s military intelligence claimed it disrupted the operations of Russia’s largest online marketplace, Wildberries, in a cyberattack intended to amplify the impact of drone strikes on the company’s infrastructure.
When was the last time a cybersecurity process at work made you want to scream? Maybe it was a password requirement so complicated you had to write it down (defeating the purpose), a phishing simulation test that felt more like a trap than a lesson, or a confusing security warning pop-up that interrupted your work. Or maybe you’re on the other side of the equation, working as a cybersecurity professional who is wrangling a half dozen disconnected dashboards, drowning in alerts (all flagged "urg…
MCP servers can expose enterprise secrets through plaintext configuration files, over-permissioned access and prompt injection, often before security teams even know the server is running. As more organizations adopt AI agents into their systems, that exposure can silently become a major gap in MCP server security. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows AI agents to reach the tools and data,
