"HPE last week released patches for 72 vulnerabilities in the AOS-8 and AOS-10 wireless operating systems of its Aruba networking products, including 33 critical-severity flaws. The security updates address eight max-severity bugs: CVE-2026-79844, CVE-2026-79845, CVE-2026-79846, CVE-2026-79847, CVE-2026-79848, CVE-2026-79849, CVE-2026-79850, and CVE-2026-79851.

"A single exported activity handed out tokens for the victim's work account. We found that an unprivileged Android app with zero permissions could impersonate any installed Microsoft first-party app and have the Microsoft Authenticator broker hand it that app's tokens. The setup is a device with Authenticator installed and one work account signed into it. The caller's identity was never used for any trust decision, so a single exported activity handed out tokens for the work account."

The software logged events such as dogs barking and babies crying, log4j said, adding that these events are counted and reported back to Samsung."

- Notorious Brazilian Magecart Group Hijacks Convertr Checkouts Via Plausible Analytics
"A notorious Brazilian Magecart group, active since 2024, planted a card skimmer in the analytics script of ecommerce platform Convertr. From 24 October, Convertr checkouts sent the card details and CPF numbers of shoppers to 1x0.is. Convertr runs the online stores and checkout of dozens of Brazilian fashion brands. Convertr says its merchants have sold more than R$2 billion (about €320 million) through the platform. All of them load a tracker from analytics.convertr.app.br, Convertr's own Plausible analytics server. The attacker appended a skimmer to that one file. Every Convertr checkout loaded it."

"As interest in new AI tools accelerates, cybercriminals are finding ways to exploit the trust surrounding them. Check Point Research (CPR) has uncovered Yoba, a malware campaign using fake GitHub projects impersonating supposed ChatGPT and Claude desktop applications, while abusing legitimate, signed OpenAI and Anthropic executables to help load malware. The campaign shows how the rush to access new AI tools is creating opportunities for social engineering, even when the AI platforms themselves have not been compromised."

"In the sales process, few emails carry as much weight as an invitation to bid. It opens the conversation that can eventually lead to revenue, and professionals are conditioned to treat it with urgency and care. Threat actors understand this, and they have learned to pair that urgency with a simple tactic: the password-protected document. Password protection lends the file an air of legitimacy, mimicking a practice companies use every day, while providing threat actors with a critical advantage - most email security tools cannot inspect the contents of an encrypted file. In this walkthrough, we break down how an important sales invitation and a "secured" document combine to set up a tricky and deceptive credential phishing campaign."

"In autumn 2026, companies and other organizations in Japan reported a succession of data leaks from their web systems. The Japanese government’s National Cybersecurity Office issued an alert to businesses on October 9, and the chair of the ruling party’s cybersecurity headquarters described cyberspace as being in a “state of emergency.” These incidents prompted growing concern about the use of AI in attacks. Our own investigations have confirmed AI use in operations targeting Japanese organizations, but its role varies considerably."

"On October 16, Huntress first reported the abuse of a ConnectWise Cloud Backup credential to access Microsoft 365 tenants, and since then we have been continuing to investigate threat actor behavior related to this incident. Now, we're pulling on a different thread: who, or what, was doing the typing during the unauthorized activity we observed. Microsoft has published its own findings, attributing the activity to a threat actor it tracks as Storm-0940, which it says used ARTEX, an open-source multi-agent AI framework, to abuse the compromised ConnectWise application credentials and sign in to downstream Microsoft 365 tenants at machine speed. Our telemetry aligns with Microsoft's findings, but does not independently confirm them."

"During a recent priority customer escalation, our “Trellix” Threat Response Team investigated a suspicious alert involving the unexpected execution of a PDF document. What initially appeared to be a routine phishing attempt quickly unfolded into a sophisticated, multistage campaign delivering a previously undocumented variant of the Sirius Backdoor.

"For years, pull_request_target has been the canonical Pwn request vector: a workflow trigger that runs with repository secrets, yet can be triggered by anyone who opens a pull request from a fork. In 2026, GitHub responded with platform changes that make the default-case exploit significantly harder. These changes represent real progress. Checkout protections, read-only cache tokens, and event policies close the paths that made exploitation trivial. But they don't eliminate the vulnerability class. They shift it. Attackers who previously exploited any pull_request_target workflow now need to find explicit opt-ins, outdated checkout versions, unprotected triggers, or script injection."

"Many chief information security officers (CISOs) currently find themselves in the deep weeds of AI governance. But the question they might not be asking is how do you defend decisions around AI deployments when litigators, regulators, and customers come looking for someone to assume liability for a compromise? Cyber legal expert Daniel B. Garrie, CEO of Law and Forensics, is striving to answer that question with distinct frameworks that both help CISOs determine whether a specific AI feature is sufficiently safe to run, as well as generate an evidentiary trail of paperwork that can be used to defend their actions, should something go horribly awry down the road."

"Email security threats are attacks that use email to steal credentials, compromise accounts, deliver malware, or expose sensitive data. Roughly 80% of data breaches begin right in an employee’s inbox because email is cheap, fast, and can bypass firewalls by targeting human psychology instead of system vulnerabilities. Email security issues have evolved far beyond simple spam. We’re now fighting AI-generated phishing, targeted credential theft, and ransomware delivery systems that traditional filters can’t catch. And the problem is only growing: The FBI’s 2025 Internet Crime Report ranked phishing and spoofing among the most commonly reported cybercrimes, with more than 1 million complaints and nearly $21 billion in reported losses overall."

"If you’ve been paying attention to enterprise edge security lately, the September 2026 Citrix NetScaler zero-day advisories probably gave you a familiar case of heartburn. But before everyone panics, let’s step back and look at the bigger picture: what we are seeing right now isn’t a collapse of edge defense. It is, in fact, exactly how modern active defense is supposed to work when high-value, internet-facing infrastructure comes under heavy fire. First, a quick refresher on why Citrix NetScaler ADC (Application Delivery Controller) and Gateway sit directly in the crosshairs of global threat actors. NetScaler is an everything-at-the-edge solution. It acts as a reverse proxy, load balancer, Web Application Firewall (WAF), traditional firewall, and SSL VPN all rolled into one appliance."

"On Oct. 1, threat researchers reported that the China-linked group behind Warlock ransomware, which Microsoft tracks as Storm-2603, had attacked at least four organizations in the prior two months. A water utility and a telecommunications provider were among them, along with a regional government body and a university. This all occurred in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries across Europe, Africa and Latin America. The likely way in was on-premises Microsoft SharePoint. The researchers believe the group still carries the ToolShell flaws it exploited in July 2025, the same month Microsoft shipped the fixes, alongside newer SharePoint flaws. An exploit for a bug patched more than a year ago is still worth packing. Somewhere, a server is still waiting for its fix."
