← VoltarMultiple simple and complex attack vectors exploited weak human factors and software vulnerabilities, leading to significant breaches and financial losses.
Some attacks this week didn't need much of a trick. A fake support call, a trusted extension, a shared link, or a device with no password. Small things that people barely think about. Yet each was enough to cause serious trouble.
Then there were the bigger messes. Billions stolen, hidden networks of hacked devices, poisoned software, and attackers finding new ways to turn normal tools against their users. Even the places meant to keep money and systems safe ended up with problems of their own. The strange part is how often the damage started somewhere nobody was looking.
And that's before getting to the long list of fresh bugs, shady services, and scams making the rounds. Quite a bit to sort through. Here's what made the list. N.
Korea Sets New Record with Binance $6.43B Crypto Theft — The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has officially attributed the theft of more than $6 billion in virtual assets from Binance to a North Korean hacking group called TraderTraitor. The haul eclipses the $1.46 billion plundered from Bybit in February 2025, making it the largest cryptocurrency theft in history. The funds were stolen across 11 blockchains, 82% of which were on Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Of the $6.43 billion stolen by TraderTraitor, $2.85 billion of the assets have been frozen on-chain by Tether, Circle, Ripple, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Access the Gartner® CTEM report to see how the Mythos platform continuously maps cross-domain attack paths and isolates key choke points to break active lateral movement to critical assets. Bugs drop weekly, and the gap between a patch and an exploit is shrinking fast. These are the heavy hitters for the week: high-severity, widely used, or already being poked at in the wild.
Check the list, patch what you have, and hit the ones marked urgent first — CVE-2026-115889, CVE-2026-115893 (Wasmtime), CVE-2026-90975 (Fireblocks mpc-lib), CVE-2026-91141 (COVESA vsomeip), CVE-2026-88781, CVE-2026-75775, CVE-2026-75779, CVE-2026-93489, CVE-2026-17518, CVE-2026-75753, CVE-2026-102438, CVE-2026-14911, CVE-2026-16528, CVE-2026-19386, CVE-2026-19396, CVE-2026-93495, CVE-2026-14157, CVE-2026-13313 (ASUS), CVE-2026-114573, CVE-2026-9082, CVE-2026-118539 (Drupal), CVE-2026-114595, CVE-2026-114596, CVE-2026-114597, CVE-2026-114598 (EPICS Base), CVE-2026-97631 (TianoCore EDK II), CVE-2026-115881, CVE-2026-115884 (GoAhead), CVE-2026-110720 (HashiCorp consul-k8s), CVE-2026-90885, CVE-2026-85250, CVE-2026-88901, CVE-2026-88900, CVE-2026-78165, CVE-2026-85251 (Apache Camel), CVE-2026-115547 (Okta), CVE-2026-114349, CVE-2026-111551 (Apache Kafka), CVE-2026-118306, CVE-2026-118331, CVE-2026-118348, CVE-2026-118344, CVE-2026-106378 (Google Chrome), from CVE-2026-117860 through CVE-2026-117954, from CVE-2026-118005 through CVE-2026-118017 (Mozilla Firefox), CVE-2026-98432 (Linux kernel), CVE-2026-18672, CVE-2026-19219 (Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX), TRA-2020-14 (Kodi), CVE-2026-107239, CVE-2026-107238, CVE-2023-22793 (Veeam), CVE-2026-103401, CVE-2026-103402, CVE-2026-103403, CVE-2026-103404, CVE-2026-103405, CVE-2026-103406, CVE-2026-103407, CVE-2026-103408, CVE-2026-103409 (Juniper Networks Session Smart Router), CVE-2026-111585 (TeamViewer), CAN-2026-2035970 (Intelbras IP cameras), CVE-2026-103594, CVE-2026-112709, CVE-2026-112710, CVE-2026-93857, CVE-2026-103593, CVE-2026-93865, CVE-2026-93866 (WatchGuard Fireware OS), CVE-2026-101296, CVE-2026-101356, CVE-2026-103119 (Apache Tomcat), CVE-2026-112816 (Canonical LXD), CVE-2026-93680, CVE-2026-110186 (Langflow OSS), and a preauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in TightVNC. That's about it for this week. Some attacks were carefully planned. Others worked because someone clicked the wrong thing, trusted the wrong tool, or left something exposed.
Different methods, same result. And with so many systems connected to other systems, even a small mistake can travel further than expected. The bigger concern is how normal some of these attacks have become. Nothing p articularly clever is needed when the easy routes still work.
Keep an eye on what has access, check what needs fixing, and don't assume familiar means safe. See you next week. Learn how to close critical identity visibility gaps in your SOC, detect hidden threats, and accelerate incident response across human, machine, and AI identities. Learn how to assess AI threat readiness, strengthen attack surface visibility, and prepare security operations for emerging threats in this practical webinar.
