ShinyHunters has listed data center operator CyrusOne on its leak site and is claiming a fairly substantial haul, but there is an important caveat: CyrusOne has not publicly confirmed the alleged breach, and the claims have not been independently verified. The group says it obtained 12.9 million Salesforce records and a SharePoint collection totaling about 645 GB uncompressed, with 288,729 files across more than 60,000 folders. It also claims the data contains more than 8,300 employee records. The part worth watching is the alleged operational and physical-security material. ShinyHunters names active badge reports, Data Center Access Control forms, physical key inventory logs, floor plans, electrical diagrams, security-system drawings, site schematics, contracts, Okta SSC access lists, and security policies. The group is demanding $13 million and reportedly gave CyrusOne 24 hours to engage following an August 23 update. Until CyrusOne confirms an incident or evidence becomes independently available, these numbers and file descriptions should be treated as threat-actor claims rather than established breach facts. Our report has the detailed breakdown of the claimed Salesforce and SharePoint datasets, the security-sensitive file categories named by ShinyHunters, and what CyrusOne customers and employees may want to watch while the breach remains unconfirmed: [https://www.technadu.com/shinyhunters-claims-cyrusone-breach-demands-13-million-for-640-gb-of-data/633850/](https://www.technadu.com/shinyhunters-claims-cyrusone-breach-demands-13-million-for-640-gb-of-data/633850/) For people working in data center or physical security: **if material like access records, facility schematics, and key inventories were exposed, which controls would you prioritize reviewing first?** #
Thousands of companies have been affected by the Mirage2FA campaign from 2024 to 2026. The commercial phishing-as-a-service toolkit targets Microsoft 365 accounts by abusing legitimate login flows and bypassing two-factor authentication.

We found and reported a bug in Provenance Blockchain, a public proof-of-stake chain built on Cosmos SDK , that lets any user grant themselves admin control over marker accounts without holding a single token. Provenance covers a range of financial services, including on-chain tokenized loans, private equity tokens, bridged assets, and asset registries. Our bug affected 82 markers representing live financial assets on mainnet. We found the bug, which affects versions before 1.28.0, in March 2026, and reported it to Provenance on April 1. It was mitigated in PR #2627 (commit c81fd65 ), which shipped in v1.28.0 on May 1, 2026, and fixed in PR #2734 , which shipped in v1.29.0 on June 8, 2026. What is a marker? The marker module is Provenance’s core primitive for fungible tokens. Chain participants can issue a new asset on Provenance by submitting a MsgAddMarkerRequest transaction; the chain creates a dedicated account for that asset, called a marker. Each marker is a special account type that controls: A denomination (e.g., uusd.trading , cusd.deposit , cguaranteedrateomni ) An access control list governing who can mint, burn, withdraw, deposit, or administer the token A supply field recording the canonical token count An escrow balance (the marke

GitHub - JuanLunaIA/aegis-latent-core: AI governance and evidence gateway for multi-provider LLM applications. FastAPI + optional Rust core for policy, WAF, egress, rate limits, sessions, signed durable evidence, and fail-closed error paths. Self-hosted; no certification or SLO claim.
Hi everyone, I've been looking into how enterprises are deploying LLMs, and there's a massive compliance gap. If an AI agent makes a discriminatory financial decision or leaks medical data, standard access logs (Splunk, SQL) are legally deniable. A database admin can just alter the row. I spent the last few months building an open-source (AGPLv3) AI Evidence Gateway called Aegis Latent Core to fix this. Instead of normal logging, it treats AI inference as a cryptographic ledger: 1. **Rust WAL:** It commits the request/response hashes to a memory-mapped Write-Ahead Log before returning the HTTP response. 2. **Merkle Mountain Ranges (MMR):** It builds an append-only Merkle tree. The client SDKs actually intercept the HTTP headers and verify the cryptographic inclusion proof locally. 3. **Forensic Export:** It exports DAG-CBOR and JCS (RFC 8785) bundles that align with ISO/IEC 27037 digital evidence handling. I actually used 6 AI agents as "contributors" to help me scale the test suite (over 5,700 tests) and write the TLA+ and Z3 SMT formal verification models. I'm trying to bridge the gap between AI engineering and hardcore InfoSec. I'd love to hear from auditors or AppSec folks: does this cryptographic approach solve the headaches you are seeing with AI compliance? Repo: https://github.com/JuanLunaIA/aegis-latent-core
Some months ago, I performed a web application penetration test on an application that used passkey for authentication. As part of the assessment, I also tested the passkey implementation and noticed some unusual behavior. During the debugging process, I created two short JavaScript helper functions that can be used to hook the browser APIs involved in passkey operations, allowing the passkey configuration to be inspected and manipulated. This gave me the ability to reliably perform some passkey tests and assess the configuration and implementation. “Fishing with a Passkey ”
Hey everyone, Over the last few months, I've been curating and categorizing a massive catalog of malware families designed specifically for incident responders, SOC analysts, and threat hunters. I got tired of having to scrape together fragmented IOCs and CISA advisories every time a new variant popped up, so I built a centralized, open-source dataset. \*\*What's included:\*\* \* \*\*2,800+ Malware Families\*\* categorized by type (Ransomware, InfoStealer, Wiper, etc.) \* \*\*Framework Mapping:\*\* Families are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, NIST CSF guidelines, and official CISA advisories. \* \*\*Response Playbooks:\*\* Actionable containment steps and "what to avoid" during an active incident. \* \*\*Formats:\*\* Available via a web UI, JSON API, Parquet, and JSONL. It’s completely free and Apache-2.0 licensed. You can browse the catalog here: [https://jordanricky1604-ship-it.github.io/malware-families-catalog/](https://jordanricky1604-ship-it.github.io/malware-families-catalog/) I'd love to hear your feedback on the schema or if there are specific families you think need deeper analysis.

You likely noticed the recent redesign of the Cloudflare Blog. We added dark mode, modernized the look and feel, and made a lot of other small improvements along the way. What you might not have noticed – well, except for those who are more terminally online – is that the redesign was part of a much bigger migration project. On Wednesday, August 12, we moved the blog to EmDash , a content management system (CMS) built especially to work on Astro and with Cloudflare. We’ll take you into the migration story – what we learned and how EmDash got better – as well as into the benefits we’re already seeing from a new platform. We are Customer Zero At Cloudflare, Cloudflare itself is Customer Zero. This means that we use our products. And – in use – we make them better for ourselves and our customers. This is a very real cultural value at Cloudflare. The burden of proof is on you if you want to use an external vendor. Why can’t that team support you, what gaps are there, why can’t those gaps be filled, and are those “gaps” true requirements? This preference is even enshrined in our internal engineering standards, known as our Codex. We don’t just build products for others; we build them to run Cloudflare itself. We are our own first, most demanding customer. We validate scale, security, and usability on our own massive infrastructure before a paying customer ever touches the product. If a product breaks, it breaks us first. This forces us to fix issues immediately, ensuring that by the time a feature reaches the enterprise, it has already survived the harshest production environment on earth. With the launch of EmDash and some limitations with our
If your developers are using AI coding tools, you are probably already seeing the upside: faster development, more code, and less time spent on routine work. The harder part is what comes after.

Overview Konami's Metal Gear Online 3 video game contains a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by an input‑validation vulnerability that allows match hosts to remotely execute arbitrary code on lobby members' machines through specially crafted data. Description Metal Gear Online 3 is an online 8 vs. 8 competitive shooter game that uses Steam Matchmaking to handle its multiplayer lobbies and matches. As detailed in CVE‑2026‑19874 , version 1.1.2.8 of Metal Gear Online 3 (Steam AppID 287700) contains an input‑validation vulnerability in the processing of Steam lobby metadata related to the player‑removal feature. The game tracks a lobby field ( kick_num ) indicating the number of players designated for removal, along with corresponding Steam ID entries of each kicked player ( kicked_id_%i ). When joining a lobby, the player's client parses these fields to check whether its own Steam ID is on the list, and if so, the player is prevented from joining the match. The function responsible for parsing this lobby data does not validate the kick_num value against the size of the fixed‑length buffer allocated for kicked player identifiers. Supplying a kick_num value larger than the buffer capacity results in out‑of‑bounds writes into adjacent memory. The memory region immediately following this buffer contains internal Steamworks callback handler structures that store function pointers and callback arguments for processing lobby data changes, messages, and other related events. By manipulating the overflow, an attacker can corrupt these handler structures and redirect callback execution, resulting in control‑flow hijacking on affected client systems. The vulnerability can be triggered automatically w

Hey everyone! With the explosion of synthetic media and deepfakes, it's getting harder to tell what's real on social media. I spent the last few weeks building AuthentiCheck, a Chrome extension that analyzes C2PA metadata, watermarks, and synthetic patterns to give you a real-time authenticity breakdown. Here's how it works: 1. It checks for C2PA cryptographic manifests embedded by platforms like OpenAI or Adobe. 2. It runs spatial and spectral analysis to spot deepfake anomalies. 3. It gives you a simple 0-100% confidence breakdown. I just got approved on the Chrome Web Store! I'd love for this community to test it out and give me feedback on accuracy or UI improvements.

Presently sponsored by: Report URI: Guarding you from rogue JavaScript! Don’t get pwned; get real-time alerts & prevent breaches #SecureYourSite I genuinely think I've nailed the IoT door lock situation! Well, Ubiquiti has, but I think I've worked out how to put it all into a residential house and have it make sense. There are a few basic tenets: Main power (never have to rely on batteries) Fail-secure (needs to remain locked on power outage) Local control (no cloud latency to contend with) Manual override ("the house is on fire, let me out") Which is exactly what we have here in this week's vid (and sorry about the section of rubbish audio; the camera mic started capturing it for a short period there). There are some edge cases I want to validate the impact of, namely the inability to keep the door both closed and unlocked, and some of the assumptions I've made around access methods. The laundry will be our low-impact test case; then, if that's all good, I'll start rolling this approach out much more seriously across the house. Stay tuned, I think this will actually be pretty awesome.

We’re constantly building for the different goals of our customers. Some customers want to optimize for discovery, while others want to protect their content with the strictest security policy. Among these differing policies, there are multiple ways to mitigate bot traffic. Some mechanisms simply state your preference, assuming best intent from crawlers, and other approaches actually lock down content by outright blocking with a Bot Management solution. We recognize that it's cumbersome to maintain multiple layers of protection on your website. For example, there are cases in which your robots.txt states that a crawler is Disallowed from accessing your website, while your enforcement rules actually don’t block that crawler. When your stated preferences and your enforced rules disagree, some crawlers treat it as a basis to disregard your preferences or try to bypass your enforced rules. A couple of years ago, Cloudflare announced an easier way to disallow AI training on your website by tackling two of these layers: a managed value of robots.txt that told a fixed list of major Training crawlers not to train on your content, along with edge-enforced blocks to Training crawlers. On July 1, 2026, we launched easier options to manage different kinds of AI traffic use cases. You can say what you want to do about Search, Agent, and Training traffic on your website. We're announcing Bot Preference Sync , available to all customers from the Free tier to Enterprise. Bot Preference Sync reflects what you've set in your AI bot configuration by updating corresponding preferences to your robots.txt, and it can be turned on or off at any time. No more static file for one use case: we'll help you tailor your robots.txt to reflect what you’ve already configured for different AI bot categories .

Overview The Calix GS7 XGS GS5239XG router running firmware EXOS/6.6.47 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that exposes its UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) WANIPConnection service on the public WAN interface. Description Calix GS7 XGS GS5239XG is a residential gateway that provides routing, NAT, and firewall functionality for home networks. The device includes the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) service implemented via MiniUPnPd 2.3.7, a lightweight software program that provides features such as automatic port forwarding for applications and devices on the LAN. By default, the UPnP service is exposed on the device’s WAN interface and does not require authentication. CVE-2026-75501 In affected firmware versions, the router binds its UPnP WANIPConnection SOAP service to the public WAN interface on TCP port 5000. Because the service does not require authentication when accepting SOAP requests, a remote attacker can obtain full access to the router’s critical UPnP functions including adding, deleting, and enumerating NAT port mappings. Impact CVE-2026-75501 enables an unauthenticated, remote attacker to remotely query and manipulate existing NAT mappings. By exploiting this vulnerability to create arbitrary port-forwarding rules on the router, an attacker can bypass NAT and firewall protections, exposing internal LAN devices to the public internet. Because the Calix router is typically provisioned with its default UPnP-enabled configuration, this issue poses significant risk to residential users with network-connected internal devices such as security cameras, network-attached storage (NAS), and other IoT appliances. Solution Unfortunately, the CERT/CC was

This week on “Uncanny Valley,” Andy Greenberg discusses sitting in on a war game simulating a cyberattack from the Chinese hacking group Volt Typhoon
Since June, developers have created thousands of third-party OAuth apps on Cloudflare , with more than a million authorizations since. OAuth makes delegated access possible. It lets applications act on a user’s behalf without asking them to handle long-lived credentials or hand over a password. That model works well when an application can describe its access needs with a small set of scopes. Developers use OAuth for SaaS integrations, internal tools, CLIs, and agents. Our permission model has become more granular over time to support better scoping of these different workflows. That is great for security, but it makes a purely all-or-nothing consent screen hard to justify. Cloudflare OAuth already allows clients to request a subset of their configured scopes. But once the client made that request, the user could not narrow it any further on the consent screen. For the user on the consent screen, the experience was still an all-or-nothing one. If an application requested more access than a user was comfortable granting, their only options were to approve the full request, or deny outright. MCP servers are a good example of this. An MCP server might request a broad set of permissions, because in theory an agent could use all of them. But most users would not want an agent to have that much access. Before this feature, the only way to handle this was for the app developer to build a custom scope selection screen before sending the user to our consent flow. Today, we’re introducing OAuth scope customization. Client owners can mark specific scopes as optional when configuring an OAuth client, giving users the ability to grant a narrower subset of an application’s requested access at authorization time. The OAuth spec already allows authorization servers to grant a narrower set of scopes than wh
Most enterprises should treat annual penetration testing as a baseline, not a complete answer. PCI DSS is the one framework with an explicit annual and change-triggered mandate. SOC 2, the current HIPAA Security Rule, and ISO 27001 all expect testing to follow the organization's own risk assessment and control design, not one fixed calendar date. HHS has proposed an annual HIPAA pentesting requirement, but that rule has not been finalized. Enterprises that combine a formal annual assessment with change-triggered and continuous validation stay ahead of frameworks that were never designed around a single testing frequency.

Overview RDK Central RDK-B WebUI version, rdkb-2025q4-kirkstone, contains multiple vulnerabilities involving memory corruption, improper authentication, race conditions, and insufficient input validation. An attacker with network access to an affected WebUI may be able to bypass authentication, obtain administrative access, cause a denial-of-service condition, or corrupt memory within underlying RDK-B processes. Under certain conditions, this memory corruption may potentially be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. Description RDK-B (Reference Design Kit for Broadband) is an open-source software platform used in broadband gateways and related networking devices. The RDK-B WebUI provides a web-based interface for configuring and administering an RDK-B device. Five vulnerabilities have been identified in the RDK-B WebUI. CVE-2026-19505 JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication in javascript-templates/source/jst_functions.c does not correctly verify whether a token's cryptographic signature is valid. The application treats both a valid signature and an invalid signature as successful verification because it incorrectly checks the return value from OpenSSL's EVP_VerifyFinal() function. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can craft a JWT with an invalid signature that is still accepted by the WebUI. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to log in as the privileged user and gain administrative access to the device. CVE-2026-19506 The login process in /usr/www2/check.jst uses a shared value to store the result of password verification. Because this value is shared between multiple requests, the application may return one user's authentication result to another user's session. An unau
In 2021, we assessed remote Spectre attacks against Cloudflare Workers. Based on the results, we shipped a production defense called Dynamic Process Isolation (DyPrIs), which identifies maliciously looking scripts and isolates them into separate processes. Since then, newer techniques in the area of stabilizing Spectre attacks have been discovered. To understand if these techniques posed a threat to our Workers production environment, we decided to internally reassess the remote Spectre attack. Building an updated proof-of-concept on the production environment allowed us to empirically assess the risk of Spectre attacks under production workloads. To mount a successful side-channel attack in production, an external attacker has to overcome additional obstacles such as activity on shared hardware resources, interrupts, context switches, and coarse-grained timers. Our research uncovered a limitation in the implementation of DyPrIs and we managed to demonstrate a remote Spectre attack reliably leaking up to 12 bit/s with a 99% accuracy in the production environment of Cloudflare Workers. As a consequence of this research, we improved DyPrIs, integrated the V8 Sandbox and an in-process isolation mechanism to further reduce the risk of memory disclosure attacks. Today we are publishing a paper describing our findings, co-authored by Albert Pedersen, Haocheng Xiao, Sam Ainsworth, Nigel Topham, and Martin Schwarzl. This paper covers research done in 2024 and early 2025. Note that the presented attack is mitigated alread

[Hunt.io](http://Hunt.io) crawled it, 2,616 files, and rebuilt the campaign from the corpus. * Three exploitation paths in parallel: an asyncio credential brute-forcer, a CVE-2021-33044/33045 auth-bypass chain, and P2P relay abuse reaching cameras by serial number * The relay path never authenticates the connecting party, only the session, via a cloud-issued token obtainable with the fixed SDK credentials in every Dahua client * Two CVE labels in the tooling don't hold up: CVE-2024-39943 is an unrelated Rejetto HFS flaw, and CVE-2025-31702 is a narrower post-auth case, not the unauthenticated relay abuse (that path is a separate non-CVE issue documented by ITRES) * Full PTCP tunnel breakdown, including the Inverted STUN packet and the bind-to-127.0.0.1 technique Neutral attribution throughout, the corpus shows how the operation was built and run, not who ran it.

Route leaks push traffic down paths it was never meant to take. We have written and spoken publicly in the past about route leaks in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) , depicting these events as impactful incidents that cause misdirection of traffic through unintended network paths. BGP routing is driven by the relationships between Autonomous Systems (ASes), i.e., customer-provider and peer-peer. Customers pay providers for access to the rest of the Internet, while peers exchange traffic with one another typically under a “settlement-free” arrangement where no money changes hands. These relationships help define routing rules that form plausible paths. For example, the rules form a “valley-free” hierarchy of how routes should propagate: a route learned from a provider or a peer should be announced only downward to customers, never back up to another provider or peer. Rules like this express an intent or expectation about Internet routes. A route leak is what happens when that intent is violated. Historically, each network has had to implement this intent on its own, using complex, error-prone routing policies
One advertisement featured a pornographic video with a deepfake closely resembling a prominent US politician. Apple removed the app from the App Store after an inquiry from WIRED.
Author here. I audited NocoBase, Flowise, Langflow, Dify, Activepieces, Kestra, and Airflow and disclosed 14 findings. Every platform inherited the same assumption anyone who can touch a workflow is trusted to run code on the host, which is fine for a dev tool on your laptop but not fine for a multi-tenant HTTP service with an unauthenticated webhook. The chain I'd point people to first is the Flowise one (section 2.2): an unauthenticated request → prompt injection → LLM emits Python → a 38-pattern regex blocklist passes it because the dangerous library was pre-imported before the model was asked anything → RCE. Two vendors closed their reports as working-as-intended, and I tried to represent their position fairly. This research was also presented at DEFCON 34 but now available publicly. Happy to answer questions.
