22 BRIDGE:BREAK Flaws Expose Thousands of Lantronix and Silex Serial-to-IP Converters
Cybersecurity researchers have identified 22 new vulnerabilities in popular models of serial-to-IP converters from Lantronix and Silex that could be exploited to hijack susceptible devices and tamper with data exchanged by them.
The vulnerabilities have been collectively codenamed BRIDGE:BREAK by Forescout Research Vedere Labs, which identified nearly 20,000 Serial-to-Ethernet converters exposed
Ransomware Negotiator Pleads Guilty to Aiding BlackCat Attacks in 2023
A third individual who was employed as a ransomware negotiator has pleaded guilty to conducting ransomware attacks against U.S. companies in 2023.
Angelo Martino, 41, of Land O'Lakes, Florida, teamed up with the operators of the BlackCat ransomware starting in April 2023 to assist the e-crime gang in extracting higher amounts as ransoms.
"Working as a negotiator on behalf of five different
5 Places where Mature SOCs Keep MTTR Fast and Others Waste Time
Security teams often present MTTR as an internal KPI. Leadership sees it differently: every hour a threat dwells inside the environment is an hour of potential data exfiltration, service disruption, regulatory exposure, and brand damage.
The root cause of slow MTTR is almost never "not enough analysts." It is almost always the same structural problem: threat intelligence that exists
NGate Campaign Targets Brazil, Trojanizes HandyPay to Steal NFC Data and PINs
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new iteration of an Android malware family called NGate that has been found to abuse a legitimate application called HandyPay instead of NFCGate.
"The threat actors took the app, which is used to relay NFC data, and patched it with malicious code that appears to have been AI-generated," ESET security researcher Lukáš Štefanko said in a
No Exploit Needed: How Attackers Walk Through the Front Door via Identity-Based Attacks
The cybersecurity industry has spent the last several years chasing sophisticated threats like zero-days, supply chain compromises, and AI-generated exploits. However, the most reliable entry point for attackers still hasn't changed: stolen credentials.
Identity-based attacks remain a dominant initial access vector in breaches today. Attackers obtain valid credentials through credential stuffing
Google Patches Antigravity IDE Flaw Enabling Prompt Injection Code Execution
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a vulnerability in Google's agentic integrated development environment (IDE), Antigravity, that could be exploited to achieve code execution.
The flaw, since patched, combines Antigravity's permitted file-creation capabilities with an insufficient input sanitization in Antigravity's native file-searching tool, find_by_name, to bypass the program's Strict
CISA Adds 8 Exploited Flaws to KEV, Sets April-May 2026 Federal Deadlines
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Monday added eight new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, including three flaws impacting Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, citing evidence of active exploitation.
The list of vulnerabilities is as follows -

SGLang is a high-performance, open-source serving
⚡ Weekly Recap: Vercel Hack, Push Fraud, QEMU Abused, New Android RATs Emerge & More
Monday’s recap shows the same pattern in different places. A third-party tool becomes a way in, then leads to internal access. A trusted download path is briefly swapped to deliver malware. Browser extensions act normally while pulling data and running code. Even update channels are used to push payloads. It’s not breaking systems—it’s bending trust.
There’s also a shift in how attacks run.
Why Most AI Deployments Stall After the Demo
The fastest way to fall in love with an AI tool is to watch the demo.
Everything moves quickly. Prompts land cleanly. The system produces impressive outputs in seconds. It feels like the beginning of a new era for your team.
But most AI initiatives don't fail because of bad technology. They stall because what worked in the demo doesn't survive contact with real operations. The gap between a
Anthropic MCP Design Vulnerability Enables RCE, Threatening AI Supply Chain
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a critical "by design" weakness in the Model Context Protocol's (MCP) architecture that could pave the way for remote code execution and have a cascading effect on the artificial intelligence (AI) supply chain.
"This flaw enables Arbitrary Command Execution (RCE) on any system running a vulnerable MCP implementation, granting attackers direct access to
Researchers Detect ZionSiphon Malware Targeting Israeli Water, Desalination OT Systems
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new malware called ZionSiphon that appears to be specifically designed to target Israeli water treatment and desalination systems.
The malware has been codenamed ZionSiphon by Darktrace, highlighting its ability to set up persistence, tamper with local configuration files, and scan for operational technology (OT)-relevant services on the local subnet.
Vercel Breach Tied to Context AI Hack Exposes Limited Customer Credentials
Web infrastructure provider Vercel has disclosed a security breach that allows bad actors to gain unauthorized access to "certain" internal Vercel systems.
The incident stemmed from the compromise of Context.ai, a third-party artificial intelligence (AI) tool, that was used by an employee at the company.
"The attacker used that access to take over the employee's Vercel Google Workspace account,
$13.74M Hack Shuts Down Sanctioned Grinex Exchange After Intelligence Claims
Grinex, a Kyrgyzstan-incorporated cryptocurrency exchange sanctioned by the U.K. and the U.S. last year, said it's suspending operations after it blamed Western intelligence agencies for a $13.74 million hack.
