The internet never stays quiet. Every week, new hacks, scams, and security problems show up somewhere. This week’s stories show how fast attackers change their tricks, how small mistakes turn into big risks, and how the same old tools keep finding new ways to break in. Read on to catch up before the next wave hits. Honeypot Traps Hackers Hackers Fall for

Talos assesses with high confidence that UAT-7290 is a sophisticated threat actor falling under the China-nexus of advanced persistent threat actors (APTs). UAT-7290 primarily targets telecommunications providers in South Asia.

Cisco has released updates to address a medium-severity security flaw in Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) with a public proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20029 (CVSS score: 4.9), resides in the licensing feature and could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative privileges to gain access to

We unpack a trojanized WinRAR download that was hiding the Winzipper malware behind a real installer.

A vulnerability in the handling of verify_mode = CERT_REQUIRED in the wolfssl Python package (wolfssl-py) causes client certificate requirements to not be fully enforced.  Because the WOLFSSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT flag was not included, the behavior effectively matched CERT_OPTIONAL: a peer certificate was verified if presented, but connections were incorrectly authenticated when no client certificate was provided.  This results in improper authentication, allowing attackers to bypass mutual TLS (mTLS) client authentication by omitting a client certificate during the TLS handshake.  The issue affects versions up to and including 5.8.2.

A weakness has been identified in bluelabsio records-mover up to 1.5.4. The affected element is an unknown function of the component Table Object Handler. This manipulation causes SQL Injection. The attack needs to be launched locally. Upgrading to version 1.6.0 is sufficient to fix this issue. Patch name: 3f8383aa89f45d861ca081e3e9fd2cc9d0b5dfaa. Developers should upgrade the affected component.

Bio-Formats versions up to and including 8.3.0 perform unsafe Java deserialization of attacker-controlled memoization cache files (.bfmemo) during image processing. The loci.formats.Memoizer class automatically loads and deserializes memo files associated with images without validation, integrity checks, or trust enforcement. An attacker who can supply a crafted .bfmemo file alongside an image can trigger deserialization of untrusted data, which may result in denial of service, logic manipulation, or potentially remote code execution in environments where suitable gadget chains are present on the classpath.
