Dell has released security updates to address multiple critical security flaws in Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) that could be exploited by bad actors to take over susceptible systems.

The vulnerabilities are listed below –

CVE-2026-63688 (CVSS score: 10.0) – A missing authentication for critical function vulnerability in the csm-authorization-storage gRPC server that an

OpenAI has parted ways with three members of its safety team after they leaked private information in violation of company policies, The Wall Street Journal reported.

“We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information,” a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying. “Our investigation confirmed that these

The quarterly board meeting is two weeks out. The security team is pulling exports from the identity provider, the cloud posture tool, the vulnerability scanner, the SIEM and the EDR console. Someone is building a spreadsheet to reconcile them. Someone else is turning that spreadsheet into slides.

Then a board member asks three questions:

How secure is the organization, overall?
What is

Google has announced a new security measure that limits access to Android’s accessibility services to verified applications classified as Accessibility Tools when Advanced Protection is enabled.

With malicious Android applications abusing the API serving as the main conduit for malware and financial fraud, the tech giant said the move would block a major attack pathway. Advanced Protection is a

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Thursday, added a critical security flaw impacting Fortinet FortiMail to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, following reports of active exploitation.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-104286 (CVSS score: 9.8), allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files on the underlying system.

“An improper

Police in Spain have arrested a 16-year-old whom investigators suspect of running the KillSec ransomware group. KillSec is accused of stealing data from organizations and threatening to publish it on its leak site unless they paid.

The 16-year-old was one of 3 people arrested on September 30, when police also took control of that site.

Investigators identified him as KillSec’s suspected

This week, the useful words are boring ones: inspect, cache, compile, store, trust. Each sounds harmless. Each can become an attack path when a system does a little more than people expect. A model check can run code. A cache can mix up requests. A public secret can stay useful for years.

That is the lesson running through the list. Attackers do not always need a brilliant new trick. They can

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a WordPress compromise in which threat actors deployed multiple persistence mechanisms to ensure that the final payload kept returning without having to infect the site again.

The backdoor has been codenamed SC after the “SC_” markers present in the injected content. Sucuri has described the malware as a “self-healing mesh” that’s

Every security leader at a bank, insurer, or asset manager has had a version of this conversation: Security wants to eliminate a class of vulnerabilities. Engineering explains what it would take to upgrade the platform where they live. Somebody prices out the regression testing. Somebody else raises the change-freeze calendar. The finding gets an exception, a compensating control, and a date

OpenAI on Wednesday said it identified and disrupted a coordinated distillation campaign that was designed to illicitly extract protected reasoning from its artificial intelligence (AI) models.

A “core cluster of the activity,” going back to the first week of July, has been attributed to individuals associated with Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI company based in Beijing. It did not cite any
