A single actor behind the CameraSwarm campaign compromised at least 14,530 Dahua IP cameras across Ukrainian, Russian and CIS networks in 35 days, leaning heavily on the 2021 authentication bypasses CVE-2021-33044 and CVE-2021-33045. The operation only came to light because the attacker left his own toolkit exposed online.
The FortiBleed leak exposed admin credentials for tens of thousands of internet-facing FortiGates across 194 countries. Within days of CISA's emergency advisory, an initial access broker was selling bulk US device accesses on Darkforums with forum escrow.

A ransomware affiliate posing as a recovery service contacted victims mid-attack, offering decryptors and data deletion for a fee. How the double-dip scam works, the red flags, and what legitimate incident response actually looks like.
Truffle Security re-verified four years of publicly leaked AWS access keys and found 88 percent of them still authenticate, including 768 that grant full control of corporate accounts. Here is what that means for self-hosters running onion infrastructure.
Compromised maintainer accounts pushed malicious crate versions whose build scripts ran malware at compile time, while trojanized npm packages delivered an AI-assisted Linux backdoor. Here is how these attacks work and why lockfiles matter.
