Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a variant of a recently disclosed campaign that abuses the TOR network for cryptojacking attacks targeting exposed Docker APIs. Akamai, which discovered the latest activity last month, said it's designed to block other actors from accessing the Docker API from the internet. The findings build on a prior report from Trend Micro in late June 2025, which

Cybersecurity never slows down. Every week brings new threats, new vulnerabilities, and new lessons for defenders. For security and IT teams, the challenge is not just keeping up with the news—it’s knowing which risks matter most right now. That’s what this digest is here for: a clear, simple briefing to help you focus where it counts. This week, one story stands out above the rest: the

It's the equivalent of watching more than 9,350 full-length HD movies or streaming 7,480 hours of high-def video nonstop in less than a minute.

Cloudflare mitigated the largest DDoS attack ever recorded, an 11.5 Tbps flood that lasted 35 seconds without disrupting…

Cloudflare on Tuesday said it automatically mitigated a record-setting volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that peaked at 11.5 terabits per second (Tbps). "Over the past few weeks, we've autonomously blocked hundreds of hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks, with the largest reaching peaks of 5.1 Bpps and 11.5 Tbps," the web infrastructure and security company said in a post on X. "

A flaw was found in Undertow where malformed client requests can trigger server-side stream resets without triggering abuse counters. This issue, referred to as the "MadeYouReset" attack, allows malicious clients to induce excessive server workload by repeatedly causing server-side stream aborts. While not a protocol bug, this highlights a common implementation weakness that can be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS).

Sending AWS chunk data with no Content-Length HTTP header causes the panic, every time. ### Reproduction Setup versity server running on port 7071, no SSL (for ease of packet tracing with tshark). Problem can be reproduced with or without SSL on the versity end. Use nginx to reverse proxy on port 7070. This does have to be SSL enabled for the repro to occur. nginx config: ``` upstream tony_versity { server 127.0.0.1:7071; keepalive 15; } server { listen 7070 ssl ; access_log /var/log/nginx/tony_versity_proxy.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/tony_versity_proxy.error.log; # Allow any size file to be uploaded. client_max_body_size 0; # Allow special characters in headers ignore_invalid_headers off; # Disable buffering proxy_buffering off; proxy_request_buffering off; # Load configuration files for the default server block. include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf; ssl_certificate "/WS/TEMP/lh.crt"; ss...
