9/ Motives are unclear – could be recon, #botnet building, or sniffing for #vulnerabilities. Keep those edge devices patched and hardened!
🇺🇦 New #Malware '#Wrecksteel' Hits #Ukraine: CERT-UA warns of a new espionage malware targeting state agencies and critical infrastructure via phishing.

8/ Homogeneity might simplify recovery, but beware of single points of failure (hello, #CrowdStrike outage!).
📡 Mass Scanning Alert: Seeing increased probes against Juniper devices (looking for default 't128' creds - change 'em!) and Palo Alto #GlobalProtect portals.

7/ 🔄 Rethinking Disaster Recovery in the #Ransomware Era: DR is way more than just backups now. With hybrid environments sprawling and ransomware the top threat, recovery is Incident Response (detect, isolate, wipe, reinstall, restore).

6/ 🤔 Oracle's Cloud Breach Saga Continues...: #Oracle reportedly admitted a breach to customers, framing it as a "legacy" (pre-2017) environment issue, yet, the actor leaked data allegedly from late 2024/2025. The focus on "Cloud Classic" vs. OCI feels like damage control over transparency.

3/ 🌐 Fast Flux is Back in the Spotlight: Five Eyes agencies dropped a joint advisory on the increased use of this evasion technique by sophisticated actors ( #ransomware gangs, state-sponsored groups). It makes tracking C2s & phishing sites a real headache by rapidly changing IPs/nameservers.

8/ This highlights the critical need for robust API authorization checks and the significant privacy impact even call #metadata can have.

7/ Technically, it was a textbook case of broken object-level authorization – the API didn't check if the user's token matched the phone number whose logs were requested in a header.

6/ 📞 #Verizon API Call Log Leak: Here’s a worrying find: a simple #API flaw in Verizon's Call Filter app exposed the incoming call history of potentially all their wireless customers to each other.

5/ It's a potent reminder for us all: even seemingly benign comms on personal platforms can create significant risks, and basic #security hygiene is non-negotiable, especially when sensitive info is involved.

4/ 📧 White House #OpSec Woes: Remember that recent White House #Signal mishap? Well, now the same National Security Adviser is reportedly facing heat for using personal #Gmail for sensitive (if unclassified) government discussions, raising serious OpSec and compliance alarms.
