Adminer 4.8.1, when using Monolog for logging, allows a Denial of Service (memory consumption) via a crafted serialized payload (e.g., using s:1000000000), leading to a PHP Object Injection issue. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can trigger this by sending a malicious serialized object, which forces excessive memory usage, rendering Adminer’s interface unresponsive and causing a server-level DoS. While the server may recover after several minutes, multiple simultaneous requests can cause a complete crash requiring manual intervention.

Attackers not only steal credentials but also can maintain long-term, persistent access to corporate networks through the global campaign.

It is business as usual at National Public Data (NPD) despite the breach that exposed 3 billion Social Security numbers and the subsequent leak.

As threats intensify and cloud adoption expands, organizations must leave outdated security models behind.

Cybersecurity today moves at the pace of global politics. A single breach can ripple across supply chains, turn a software flaw into leverage, or shift who holds the upper hand. For leaders, this means defense isn’t just a matter of firewalls and patches—it’s about strategy. The strongest organizations aren’t the ones with the most tools, but the ones that see how cyber risks connect to business

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems act as the primary tools for detecting suspicious activity in enterprise networks, helping organizations identify and respond to potential attacks in real time. However, the new Picus Blue Report 2025, based on over 160 million real-world attack simulations, revealed that organizations are only detecting 1 out of 7 simulated attacks,
