Threat actors are exploiting a recently patched security flaw impacting Gravity SMTP, a WordPress plugin that’s installed on about 100,000 sites. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-4020 (CVSS score: 5.3), is a medium-severity information disclosure flaw that can allow unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data, such as configuration data, API keys, secrets, and OAuth tokens

Security researchers at Paradigm Shift have published a working exploit, dubbed usbliter8, that achieves arbitrary code execution inside the SecureROM of Apple’s A12 and A13 chips. That code is burned into the silicon at manufacture. No software update can reach it. Affected devices will carry this flaw for as long as they stay in use. This is not…

The Gentlemen ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation is actively developing and maintaining a suite of endpoint detection and response (EDR) killers that it hands out to affiliates for impairing system defenses before deploying the encryptor. This mature portfolio of EDR-terminating tools is centered around a framework that’s known as GentleKiller. “They also incorporate third-party or

Microsoft researchers have detailed an exploit chain, named AutoJack, that turns an AI browsing agent into a delivery vehicle for remote code execution. Steer the agent to load an attacker’s web page, and that page’s JavaScript can reach a privileged local service on the same machine and spawn a process on the host. No credentials, no…

Dutch law enforcement authorities, along with counterparts from Canada , Germany, and the U.S., have disrupted malicious infrastructure associated with SocGholish and cleaned up nearly 15,000 infected WordPress websites. “With these actions we deprive cybercriminals of access to infected computer systems,” Maikel Rollman of the Netherlands National High Tech Crime Unit said. “This prevents

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday urged Fortinet customers with FortiGate appliances to take steps to secure against ongoing malicious activity aimed at thousands of internet-accessible devices. The sweeping campaign, believed to be the work of Russian-speaking threat actors, has been codenamed FortiBleed. The number of compromised devices stands at

As threats proliferate and AI complicates cybersecurity, CISOs say the job is getting harder, but more companies still want cybersecurity expertise, if even on a part-time basis.

Introduction The average enterprise security team has 40 or more security tools, giving a lot of visibility into internal telemetry and asset data. But often, these tools are working in siloes, generating (overlapping) alerts and data. And yet, breach dwell times remain stubbornly long (~43 days), response windows keep closing before teams can act, and…

The first wave of enterprise AI concern was straightforward. It was simply employees pasting sensitive data into public AI tools. Security teams responded with usage policies, domain blocks, and data loss prevention rules. That response made sense at the time. It doesn’t fit the problem anymore. Shadow AI has shifted from a data leakage concern…

Salesforce has revealed that it disabled the Klue Battlecards app integration within its platform in response to a security incident impacting the competitive intelligence company on June 11, 2026. To that end, organizations will be unable to connect to Salesforce via the app until further notice, the American cloud-based software company noted in an alert…
