🚨 Hackers Exploit Microsoft Teams' Collaboration Features to Impersonate IT Helpdesk Staff
Source: https://t.co/YZ2Iaruf2b
A growing wave of vishing (voice phishing) campaigns in which threat actors abuse Microsoft Teams’ external collaboration features to impersonate IT helpdesk personnel and investigators is now turning to the Microsoft 365 Unified Audit Log (UAL) as a critical forensic data source to reconstruct attack timelines.
The attack chain begins when a threat actor operating from an external or cross-tenant Teams account initiates an unsolicited call or message to a targeted employee, presenting as internal IT support.

How I use AI to Track Images
Most people try to geolocate images by scrolling Google Maps for hours or zooming in on random places hoping to get lucky
AI has changed that a lot ⚡
When I work on OSINT cases, one of the most useful skills is figuring out where a photo was taken 📸
even when there is no context or metadata
One tool I use for this is PlaceSpotter
It uses AI to read visual clues from images and help identify locations much faster than manual searching
With it you can:
🌍 Find possible locations from a single image
📍 Get GPS coordinates in seconds
🔍 Recognize buildings, landmarks, and terrain patterns
⚡ Still work even when metadata is stripped out
I had one case where I only had a social media image with no location info at all
there was nothing obvious at first glance
but after running it through the tool and comparing architectural patterns and coastline features
it narrowed it down to a specific coastal region
that small clue became the turning point for the rest of the investigation 🚀
This kind of geolocation work is very useful for:
🕵️ OSINT investigations
📡 geolocation challenges and verification
🌐 checking if online content is real or manipulated
In OSINT speed matters but accuracy matters more and tools like this help you get both 🧠

⚠️Hackers Actively Exploiting Critical NGINX RCE Vulnerability in the Wild
Source: https://t.co/7FVnJNpPPW
Hackers are wasting no time exploiting a newly disclosed critical vulnerability in NGINX, with security researchers already observing real-world attacks just days after its public release.
Threat actors are actively targeting CVE-2026-42945, a heap buffer overflow flaw affecting both NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus. According to Censys data, around 5.7 million internet-facing NGINX servers could be running vulnerable versions.

🛡️ Mozilla Patches 423 Firefox Flaws with Claude Mythos and Other AI Models

Mozilla has fixed a total of 423 Firefox security bugs in April 2026 alone, a figure nearly 20 times higher than its monthly average of about 21 bugs throughout 2025, driven by a groundbreaking agentic AI pipeline built around Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview and other large language models.
Beyond the 271 AI-identified bugs, the remaining 152 fixes included 41 externally reported bugs and 111 discovered through internal techniques, split roughly equally between Claude Mythos fixes shipped in other releases, bugs found with other AI models, and conventional fuzzing.

Mobile telecom systems power our calls, internet, and even critical ICS communications. They’re also a prime target for attackers.
Understanding how these networks work is key to protecting them.
This article from @three_cube is a great starting point

In the last month alone we’ve seen auth bypasses, RCEs, heap corruption bugs and protocol-level vulnerabilities back-to-back. The attack surface of internet-facing services is getting out of control. Everyone is asking the same question:
Which software is next for a critical CVE?

Email addresses are one of the best pivot points in OSINT investigations 📧
People reuse the same email across many websites, services, and accounts
which means one lookup can expose a large part of someone’s online footprint 🌐
One of my favorite tools for this is Minerva OSINT 😏
It builds a detailed intelligence profile starting from just a single email
It can help you discover:
📱 Accounts linked to the email
🧩 Usernames and digital footprints
🌍 Platform associations across different services
🔎 New pivot points to continue your investigation
What I like about it is how it 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲, making it easy to move from one lead to another
For example, during an OSINT investigation I started with only an email address…
The results revealed usernames and linked platforms that helped me pivot into social media accounts 🔍
From there, the investigation became much easier to expand
Of course, no single tool is perfect
But this one is definitely a strong addition to any OSINT toolkit 🧰
My tip: always combine multiple email lookup tools to maximize coverage

There is another method you can use to uncover hidden accounts from emails which I will share in a future post 🚀
but sometimes less popular platforms reveal even more data 👀
