Fog ransomware continues the trend of credential-driven ransomware attacks, targeting U.S. organizations via compromised VPN access.
Observed tactics include:
- VPN credential abuse
- Lateral movement via RDP, SMB, PsExec
- Backup deletion (Veeam)
- VM encryption
- No leak site observed, but operational impact remains severe.
Threat actors continue to operationalize current-events lures as part of malware delivery chains.
Recent research shows a backdoor deployed via attachments themed around breaking geopolitical news, using legitimate binaries and DLL sideloading techniques for persistence.
No attribution assumptions - just a reminder that contextual relevance remains one of the most effective social engineering tools.

Ireland’s recall of nearly 13,000 passports due to a software-induced printing defect illustrates how data integrity issues can propagate into physical security and identity systems.
The likely impact on the machine-readable zone (MRZ) reinforces the importance of validation, regression testing, and post-deployment controls in critical document systems.
What best practices would you recommend for preventing similar failures in identity infrastructure?

Recent activity involving unsolicited Instagram password reset notifications highlights how account takeover attempts often exploit user behavior rather than technical weaknesses.
Even amid reports of exposed account datasets, basic safeguards - such as monitoring recovery options and login alerts - remain effective risk-reduction measures.
What controls do you recommend users prioritize on consumer platforms?

AI-driven phishing is pushing email security beyond traditional filtering models.
Generative AI enables attackers to produce convincing, targeted messages at scale, reducing the effectiveness of signature-based and rule-driven email defenses. With phishing and BEC continuing to impact organizations, proactive detection and resilience strategies are becoming essential.

This week in cyber accountability: ransomware disruptions, public-sector cyber reform, new data deletion rights, and a diplomatic prisoner swap resolving a ransomware case without conviction.
Cyber risk exposure within water and wastewater systems continues to evolve.
Operational technology environments, aging infrastructure, and fragmented utility ownership increase the challenge of implementing consistent cybersecurity controls. Recent advisories have highlighted common weaknesses such as exposed interfaces and limited access controls.
Even without mandatory regulation, foundational practices - patching, access management, incident response planning, and OT segmentation - remain effective risk reducers.
What practical cybersecurity measures have you seen work in resource-constrained environments?

A ransomware-related investigation concludes via diplomacy rather than judicial process.
A Russian professional basketball player detained in France over alleged cybercrime links was released as part of a Russia–France prisoner swap. No verdict was reached, attribution remained limited, and legal claims were disputed by defense counsel.
For the cybersecurity community, this case underscores challenges around attribution, extradition, and enforcement when cybercrime crosses geopolitical boundaries.
How should international cybercrime cases be handled more effectively?

GreyNoise telemetry indicates active targeting of LLM-facing infrastructure, based on over 90K observed sessions across multiple campaigns.
Key observations:
• SSRF-style callbacks confirming outbound reachability
• Structured enumeration across OpenAI-compatible and Gemini-style APIs
• Infrastructure overlap with known large-scale CVE scanning activity
The implication is clear: LLM services are now part of standard reconnaissance workflows.
Defensive focus areas include egress filtering, rate limiting, fingerprint monitoring, and access controls around model pulls.
What detection gaps are you seeing most often in LLM deployments?
