CISOs need a direct line to the board to accurately report cyber risk. The board and CEO are accountable, but effective oversight requires high-level understanding aligned with business objectives. Avoid getting bogged down in technical details; focus on strategic alignment.

🚨 WARNING: The self-spreading “Mini Shai-Hulud” worm compromised npm & PyPI packages tied to TanStack, Mistral AI, Guardrails AI, OpenSearch & more.

The attack used GitHub OIDC token hijacking and cache poisoning to spread credential-stealing malware across 42 TanStack packages and 84 versions.

@0xBhigTee @mondaydotcom The problem is that Monday will not filter by "Type" and the addresses in the Contacts for each Account. If I opened up email, it would allow all emails to come in and create contacts for everything from the @dominos 's delivery guy to the phishing email.

Been trying out @mondaydotcom as a CRM for small business. Really wanted an automation that would alert me to emails from my clients via push notification. This was https://t.co/e6qt8Zepm6's AI response. Hint: Use Excel

After a CISO received a Wells notice, a journey of self-improvement began. Finding traditional methods too slow for rapidly evolving cybersecurity, the solution became clear: a podcast. This medium allows for faster thought cycles and sharing timely, relevant information

[The Hacker News @TheHackersNews]

⚠️ WARNING - An unpatched critical telnetd bug (CVE-2026-32746) lets attackers gain full system access with no credentials.

One connection to port 23 is enough to trigger memory corruption and execute code as root.

No patch yet. Prior telnet flaw is already exploited in the wild.

@SouthwestAir does good again! Flight to Phoenix delayed due to weather. No big deal! Sempre Gumby! Well these wonderful agents at @SanDiegoAirport called my name and said we can reroute you getting me back to Houston earlier. Tough deal but I’ll take it. Stay classy San Diego!

[Chris W @EMTFireman]

@StoryfulNews Yes I filmed it. And sure you can share it.

This was the scene at 10:30AM in Houston’s Hobby (HOU) airport. @Clear line was 2 hours long. @TSA PreCheck was closed. Regular TSA screening wait time was 3 to 4 hours long. Despite arriving early still missed my flight. Thanks to @SouthwestAir gate agents for being flexible and helping me and the others get rerouted.

I45 shutdown both directions near La Marque. Might as well tech class on the highway. #houston #galveston

This is related to the BeyondTrust remote access platform formerly known as Bomgar. This is a high priority fix.

Cisco Talos is closely tracking UAT-8837, a threat actor (they) assess with medium confidence is a China-nexus advanced persistent threat (APT) actor based on overlaps in tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) with those of other known China-nexus threat actors.
