Every patch is a confession.

The moment a vendor ships a security fix, the diff between the old code and the new code tells anyone watching exactly what was broken and where. Turn that diff back into a working exploit, and you can hit every system that hasn’t updated yet. This is N-day exploitation, and it’s always been a race: the vendor patches, the clock starts, and defenders try to deploy

A cloud tenant using nothing but ordinary GPU access can push a data center’s power draw up and down fast enough to threaten the grid it runs on, with no exploit and no break-in.

That is the claim behind Bit2Watt, described by three Zhejiang University researchers in a paper accepted to CHES 2026, the IACR’s hardware-security conference, and the evidence splits in two: they measured the power

Attackers have begun to exploit two critical vulnerabilities in WordPress that, when combined together, enable unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) and complete compromise of vulnerable websites.

The two security flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-63030 and CVE-2026-60137, have been codenamed wp2shell.

“By the early hours of Saturday morning (UTC), successful exploitation was already well

Researchers at Sysdig have linked a second attack on the same Langflow server to JADEPUFFER, the AI-agent-driven operator it first documented earlier this month.

The same operator has now been spotted deploying ENCFORGE, a new compiled Go ransomware designed to encrypt model weights, vector indexes, training datasets, and other AI infrastructure files across the host filesystem.

Threat actors are now exploiting a recently disclosed critical security flaw impacting ServiceNow AI Platform, according to Defused Cyber.

In a post shared on X, the threat intelligence firm said it’s observing in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2026-6875 (CVSS score: 9.5), a sandbox escape vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated user to run arbitrary code.

Patches for the flaw were

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered nearly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories, out of which more than 800 pose as artificial intelligence (AI) skills or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to deliver a malware family known as SmartLoader as part of an ongoing campaign codenamed FakeGit.

“FakeGit uses copied projects, lookalike developer profiles, convincing READMEs, and malicious ZIP

A malware operator left its delivery server wide open, and Rapid7 pulled down the whole toolkit: 1,048 files spanning lure templates, filename-spoofing tests, execution experiments, droppers, builder notes, and two campaign chains. One was already live against Windows users in Mexico, delivering an infostealer through a fake government ID-lookup site over WebDAV.

What makes it more than a

A newly discovered espionage implant has been using a hijacked Microsoft 365 calendar as its command channel, planting operator instructions and smuggling out stolen files as attachments on calendar events dated to the year 2050.

Group-IB, which named the malware HollowGraph, says the approach moves tasking and stolen data through legitimate Microsoft Graph API traffic, so the activity looks

A single request should not be able to do this much. But this week, small inputs led to code execution, memory loss, stolen keys, and disabled security tools.

The paths were often simple: exposed systems, weak checks, old drivers, fake prompts, and public code used for malware delivery. Some bugs were new. Others were already being used before defenders had time to patch.

Here is the full

At least one Russian intelligence service is systematically hijacking internet-connected security cameras across Europe and Ukraine, using the feeds to watch military transport routes, weapons shipments bound for Kyiv, and the locations of Ukrainian troops.

That is the finding of a cybersecurity advisory published July 10 by the AIVD and MIVD, the Netherlands’ civilian and military intelligence
