SOC GoulashIt's been a busy 24 hours in the cyber world with significant updates on recent breaches, a flurry of actively exploited vulnerabilities, evolving threat landscapes, and some interesting shifts in data privacy and government cyber initiatives. Let's dive in:Recent Cyber Attacks and Threat Actor Activity ⚠️- US steel giant Nucor, a critical infrastructure component, halted production at several facilities following a cyber intrusion. While the nature of the attack isn't specified, the disruption suggests a significant impact, potentially from ransomware or extortion, highlighting the ongoing targeting of manufacturing. - The notorious Scattered Spider (aka UNC3944, Octo Tempest) is expanding its focus from UK retail chains to the US retail sector. This group, known for sophisticated social engineering, phishing, SIM swapping, and MFA bombing, is now leveraging the DragonForce ransomware operation. US retailers should be on high alert for these aggressive tactics.🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/nucor_steel_attack/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/nucor_steel_attack/</a> 🤖 Bleeping Computer | <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-scattered-spider-switches-targets-to-us-retail-chains/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-scattered-spider-switches-targets-to-us-retail-chains/</a>Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities and Patch Tuesday Rundown 🛡️- Ivanti has patched two zero-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-4427, CVE-2025-4428) in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) that are being actively chained for Remote Code Execution (RCE). These flaws, affecting large organisations and government entities, are linked to unspecified open-source libraries. Ivanti also patched a critical 9.8 CVSS bug (CVE-2025-22462) in Neurons for ITSM, though it's not yet exploited. - Microsoft's May Patch Tuesday included fixes for five actively exploited flaws (CVSS 7.5-7.8) impacting Windows 10, 11, and Server 2019+. These are high priority for patching. Apple also released numerous fixes, including one actively exploited CoreAudio flaw in watchOS 11.5, suspected to be used by government-level spyware. Adobe and SAP also pushed out their monthly security updates. - Researchers at ETH Zurich have found a new way to bypass Intel's Spectre v2 defences (eIBRS/IBPB) using "Branch Privilege Injection" (BPI) (CVE-2024-45332). This allows unprivileged code to inject kernel-level branch predictions, potentially leading to data leakage from the OS or even hypervisors in cloud environments. Intel has released a microcode update, affecting x86 chips since 9th gen. - Google Chrome is rolling out a security enhancement that will automatically "de-elevate" the browser, preventing it from running with administrator privileges on Windows. This mirrors a similar feature in Microsoft Edge and is a crucial step to mitigate risks, as running a browser as admin can allow malicious downloads to execute with full system access.🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/ivanti_patches_two_zerodays_and/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/ivanti_patches_two_zerodays_and/</a> 🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/patch_tuesday_may/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/patch_tuesday_may/</a> 🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/13/intel_spectre_race_condition/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/13/intel_spectre_race_condition/</a> 🤖 Bleeping Computer | <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-chrome-to-block-admin-level-browser-launches-for-better-security/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-chrome-to-block-admin-level-browser-launches-for-better-security/</a>Evolving Threat Landscape 📈- SANS Institute warns that ransomware gangs are increasingly targeting "middle systems" between IT and Operational Technology (OT) in critical infrastructure. Attacks on these systems, which manage product integrity or safety, can have more severe operational impacts than IT-only attacks, making victims more likely to pay. Nation-state actors are also shifting from simple outages to persistent manipulation of ICS for long-term destruction. - A session at CYBERUK highlighted a concerning trend: organisations are rapidly deploying generative AI without a clear understanding of the associated security risks. The NCSC warns that by 2027, AI-empowered attackers will significantly reduce time-to-exploitation, making organisations that don't integrate AI into their cyber defences materially riskier. Insecure AI deployments can lead to prompt injection, supply chain attacks, and data misuse. - Gartner analyst Craig Lawson suggests that blindly rushing to implement all Patch Tuesday fixes might not be the most effective strategy. He argues that organisations can't "out-patch" threat actors and should instead focus on understanding their "threat debt" and implementing compensating controls. Attackers often target less critical flaws, and state actors are hesitant to burn zero-days.🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/ransomware_targets_middle_systems_sans/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/ransomware_targets_middle_systems_sans/</a> 🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/cyberuk_ai_deployment_risks/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/cyberuk_ai_deployment_risks/</a> 🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/improve_patching_strategies/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/improve_patching_strategies/</a>Data Privacy and Regulatory Shifts 🔒- Privacy advocacy group noyb is challenging Meta's latest plan to train its AI models on EU user data, arguing that Meta's reliance on "legitimate interest" under GDPR is insufficient and requires explicit opt-in consent. This mirrors previous disputes over advertising data and could lead to significant class-action lawsuits, potentially costing Meta billions. - The US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is set to withdraw a Biden-era rule that would have classified data brokers as consumer reporting agencies, subjecting them to stricter accuracy and compliance standards under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Privacy advocates are concerned this move will leave consumers vulnerable to fraud, identity theft, and data sales to malicious actors.🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/metas_still_violating_gdpr_rules/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/metas_still_violating_gdpr_rules/</a> 🤫 CyberScoop | <a href="https://cyberscoop.com/cfpb-to-withdraw-rule-targeting-data-brokers/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cyberscoop.com/cfpb-to-withdraw-rule-targeting-data-brokers/</a>Government Cyber Initiatives and Staffing 🏛️- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is refusing to disclose the number of employees cut or pushed out from CISA, raising concerns among Congress members about the agency's ability to defend against daily cyberattacks from adversaries like China. This comes amidst proposed budget cuts and administrative leave for staff working on mis/disinformation. - The DHS also cancelled a $2.4 billion cybersecurity contract with Leidos intended to support CISA, following a legal challenge from rival bidder Nightwing. Nightwing alleged unfair advantage due to Leidos hiring a former DHS IT specialist with inside information. While DHS cited "changed priorities," the incident highlights ongoing issues with government contracting and potential conflicts of interest. - The Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) program, a global bedrock for vulnerability management, narrowly avoided a shutdown due to a contract lapse between CISA and MITRE. This near-crisis has spurred the formation of a new CVE Foundation, aiming for private-sector and multi-government funding by December to reduce reliance on a single source, though it faces criticism over potential conflicts of interest.🤫 CyberScoop | <a href="https://cyberscoop.com/dhs-wont-tell-congress-how-many-people-its-cut-from-cisa/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cyberscoop.com/dhs-wont-tell-congress-how-many-people-its-cut-from-cisa/</a> 🕵🏼 The Register | <a href="https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/dhs_leidos_contract/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2025/05/14/dhs_leidos_contract/</a> 🤫 CyberScoop | <a href="https://cyberscoop.com/cve-program-funding-crisis-cve-foundation-mitre/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cyberscoop.com/cve-program-funding-crisis-cve-foundation-mitre/</a><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CyberSecurity</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ThreatIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThreatIntelligence</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ransomware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ransomware</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CriticalInfrastructure</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/VulnerabilityManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VulnerabilityManagement</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ZeroDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZeroDay</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PatchTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PatchTuesday</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Spectre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spectre</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DataPrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataPrivacy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GDPR</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CISA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CISA</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GovernmentContracts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GovernmentContracts</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InfoSec</a>

Judith ZoëHow do you take note of your period?✍️ In the first episode of The Digital Period, we talked about how personal and intimate period tracking can be, and how apps sometimes erase that individuality by offering pre-packaged experiences. Do you use a period app? Or have you built your own system? I’d love to hear. 🎧 Listen to Episode 1 through the link in bio and join the conversation now! — <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TheDigitalPeriod?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheDigitalPeriod</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Autonomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Autonomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FeministTech?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FeministTech</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DataPrivacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataPrivacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PeriodApps?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PeriodApps</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Podcast?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Podcast</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Podcasting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Podcasting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Privacy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Technology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Philosophy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Data?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Data</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Menstruation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Menstruation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Digital?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Digital</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DataProtection?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataProtection</a>
