Happy Friday! 😎

We’re closing out Ransomware Awareness Month, but the breaches haven’t slowed down.

Let’s rewind a few of the recent hits:

  • McDonald’s made news for weak passwords (yes, that kind).

  • Qantas is untangling third-party fallout.

  • Finastra’s breach raised fresh questions about access controls.

These are proof that even the most well-resourced organizations are still vulnerable.

It’s Not All About Ransomware

  • Why part-time might be the next full-time fix.

  • LARVA-208 is phishing in full metamorphosis.

  • Microsoft takes security from a moat to a lake.

  • NVIDIA’s vulnerability could rain on its AI cloud parade.

  • Over-sharing? Microsoft again. 

  • Trump’s new AI plan puts industry in the driver’s seat.
