Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. “The darkest period of my life, so far, arrived the summer I was pregnant with my eldest son. The future was growing in me with all of its terrifying unpredictability, and I found myself anxious, unable to work and woefully at sea.” — Lauren Groff I doubt Lauren had this maniacal infosec news cycle in mind when she wrote about the terrifyingly unpredictable future, but honestly, she’s got our current careers down cold. Let he who…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. Here for the latest on the PHP vulnerabilities? Head on down to ‘The One Big Thing’. Talos has published a blog to explain what we know so far, and details the Snort coverage available, including rules in the Community Ruleset.

This week on the Lock and Code podcast… At just 17 years old, Jordan DeMay was murdered by strangers online. That’s how Jordan’s father, John DeMay, described what happened to his son four years ago. At home in Michigan, Jordan was readying for a weekend trip when he received a friend request on Instagram. The invite was sent by a user named “dani.robertts” whose profile showed an attractive young woman. After accepting the request, Jordan and the account chatted about nothing in…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. I've been following a lot of (sometimes heated) threads and discussions lately about the current vulnerability landscape. I learned new words/phrases such as Summer of Hell (although I'm writing this with 1°C/34°F outside), Vulnpocalypse, Bugmageddon, Bugpocalypse, Breachpocalypse... Let's look at some numbers: We crossed the 70k mark, and it's only the end of September. This has never been seen before — I think we can agree this…
Another month of patches equals another new record for Microsoft patches. It’s a good thing I survive Pwn2Own Ireland, because between these and the Adobe patches, there’s much to discuss. I’m also looking at different ways I can represent the bugs at this level of volume, so let me know if you have ideas. (Seriously – I’m out of ideas). If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check out the Patch Report webcast on our YouTube channel. It should be posted…
V pondělí 5. řína proběhlo setkání Pracovní skupiny CSIRT.CZ jíž se účastnilo více než 100 účastnic a účastníků z bezpečnostních týmů napříč sektory. Pracovní skupinu otevíral Ondřej Filip. Následovala přednáška Andrei Kropáčové z CESNETu, která navázala na úvodní řeč Ondřeje Filipa.

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. My name is Pierre Cadieux, and I’ll be helping contribute to these newsletters. A little about me: I’ve been working in the cybersecurity industry in many roles over the past 20+ years, first focusing on endpoint security, policies, and firewalls, then moving to risk management and compliance, disaster recovery, and investigations. I spent about 15 years as a consultant working across many well-known consultancy firms and…
Day Three of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 wrapsup with 17 attempts scheduled, roughly $1.33 million on the board. The headliner is the Google Pixel 10, which draws three separate attempts: Xint at 11:15 AM, Ikotas Labs at 2:00 PM, and the Valsamaras/Ken Gannon (Djini.ai)/Valsamara team closing things out at 6:30 PM — by far the single biggest payday in play all week. The Samsung Galaxy S26 gets one more run too, from BunkyoWesterns at 4:15 PM. Smart Home stays busy with three attempts on the Philips…
Day Two of Pwn2Own Ireland 2026 has 24 attempts on the docket, with roughly $780,000 up for grabs, running 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM IST. Samsung's Galaxy S26 will be attempted three separate times — by Valsamaras/Ken Gannon (using Djini.ai)/Valsamara at 1:00 PM, Kyeongmin Kim at 3:15 PM, and PetoWorks at 5:30 PM — worth watching since only the first successful demo claims the cash. Home Assistant Green is the day's most-attempted device, with five researchers scheduled to take a run at it. AI…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. Fall is officially here in Maryland, and I can’t be more relieved. I flourish in 50 degree weather, where it feels natural to burrow under blankets, knit sweaters, and listen to an audiobook. Beyond that, though, can I say that I’m glad fall is here because the end of summer has been a bit of a shitshow? I’m allowed to curse on here, right? Without going into too much detail, my uncle was diagnosed with a rare cancer, and my family…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. In the cybersecurity industry, trust is the invisible currency. Every practitioner carries the implicit trust not to abuse privileged access or knowledge of vulnerabilities in each employment or engagement. This trust is valued by those who require our services, but also by threat actors. Clumsy phishing attacks may be easy to identify, but be wary of unsolicited messages on social media, especially if someone is offering payment…

Approximately 246,000 records were exposed, including names and contact details belonging to government officials and contractors, while financial…
This week on the Lock and Code podcast… If you want AI to tell you a story, it will. If you want that story to sound like one of your favorite authors, it can. And if you’re one of the authors that AI can imitate, you might be a little upset at what feels like theft. In 2024, the authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson sued Anthropic, the creator of Claude, alleging that the company had wrongfully digested millions of copyrighted works—including some of their very own—to…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. There’s been a lot of talk recently about slowing down the pace of AI development. And yes, there are legitimate moral, ethical, geopolitical, and safety concerns with the use of AI. It’s not clear yet whether an AI slowdown could happen, let alone whether it should (hat tip to Dr. Ian Malcolm). I admit, I’m not really qualified to opine on the impacts unrestricted AI might have on bioterrorism, the balance of international power,…
The defining development of the period came not from attackers but from the AI labs themselves, whose models broke out of controlled evaluations and reached real systems. In the wild, the criminal and state use of AI continued to mature along the lines tracked in earlier editions: models now act as attack operators, an underground market supplies the access, and AI systems have themselves become a target. The substantial distance between what the strongest models demonstrated under evaluation…

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter. Ask anybody in this industry what the work does to the health of the people who do it and you get one word back: burnout. It's a fine word, in and of itself. It’s easy to reach for, understandable to everyone… and it's the wrong one, most of the time. So, story time. Last year I gave an interview with the amazing Hazel Burton about VPNFilter, and my run-in with burnout. I was a manager during that time, and it took a toll on me and…
Microsoft is publishing 974 own-product vulnerabilities on September 2026 Patch Tuesday, including 723 vulnerabilities in Windows. Along with Microsoft fixes for 25 non-Microsoft CVEs, that brings the total number of vulnerabilities on the table today to 999. Whether this is the biggest Patch Tuesday ever depends on how we count, but this is by far the most CVEs that Microsoft has ever published in a single day. As Rapid7 noted last month, there is no reason to suppose that Patch Tuesday will…

If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check out the Patch Report webcast on our YouTube channel. It should…
This week on the Lock and Code podcast… Crooks are taking a holiday. They’re counting on you to fund it. For decades, cybercriminals have stolen roughly the same types of data. Biographical and personal details—like Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses, and phone numbers—can be stolen to commit identity fraud. Credit card numbers, expiration dates, and CVC codes can be stolen to make fraudulent purchases. Usernames and passwords can, in the wrong hands, let a cybercriminal impersonate…
