Latest cybersecurity reporting from selected sources.

This week’s recap shows how small gaps are turning into big entry points. Not always through new exploits, often through tools, add-ons, cloud setups, or workflows that people already trust and rarely question

Every week brings new discoveries, attacks, and defenses that shape the state of cybersecurity. Some threats are stopped quickly, while others go unseen until they cause real damage

Cybersecurity never stops—and neither do hackers. While you wrapped up last week, new attacks were already underway

Espionage? Botnets? Trying to exploit a zero-day? Someone or something is probing devices made by Juniper Networks and Palo Alto Networks, and researchers think it could be evidence of espionage attempts, attempts to build a botnet, or an effort to exploit zero-day vulnerabilities.…

Threat actors are exploiting an unspecified zero-day vulnerability in Cambium Networks cnPilot routers to deploy a variant of the AISURU botnet called AIRASHI to carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks

Also, Alleged Gravy Analytics Breach Exposes Location DataThis week, a Russian tanker linked to cable sabotage detained in Finland, a claimed Gravy Analytics breach exposed location data, a Mirai-based botnet exploited zero-day flaws, Dell updated framework flaws and a court sentenced a Florida woman for laundering millions in romance scams.

A relatively new Mirai-based botnet has been growing in sophistication and is now leveraging zero-day exploits for security flaws in industrial routers and smart home devices. [...]

An elusive, sophisticated cybercriminal group has used known and zero-day vulnerabilities to compromise more than 20,000 SOHO routers and other IoT devices so far, and then puts them up for sale on a residential proxy marketplace for state-sponsored cyber-espionage actors and others to use.

A malware botnet is exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in end-of-life GeoVision devices to compromise and recruit them for likely DDoS or cryptomining attacks. [...]

The Corona Mirai-based malware botnet is spreading through a 5-year-old remote code execution (RCE) zero-day in AVTECH IP cameras, which have been discontinued for years and will not receive a patch. [...]

A years-old high-severity flaw impacting AVTECH IP cameras has been weaponized by malicious actors as a zero-day to rope them into a botnet

CISA warned about the RCE zero-day vulnerability in AVTECH IP cameras in early August, and now vulnerable systems are being used to spread malware.

Kaspersky Says It Spotted QakBot Operators Exploiting the Flaw in AprilMicrosoft issued a patch Tuesday for a Windows zero-day vulnerability that security researchers say operators of the QakBot botnet and other hackers actively exploited. The elevation of privilege vulnerability flaw is rated "important" on the CVSS scale.

An active malware campaign is leveraging two zero-day vulnerabilities with remote code execution (RCE) functionality to rope routers and video recorders into a Mirai-based distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) botnet

Akamai sounds the alarm – won't name the vendors yet, but there is a fix coming Akamai has uncovered two zero-day bugs capable of remote code execution, both being exploited to distribute the Mirai malware and built a botnet army for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.…

A new Mirai-based malware botnet named 'InfectedSlurs' has been exploiting two zero-day remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities to infect routers and video recorder (NVR) devices. [...]

Botnet storm drowned last record with 398 million requests per second A zero-day vulnerability in the HTTP/2 protocol was exploited to launch the largest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on record, according to Cloudflare.…
