Today marks the end of my 30-day cybersecurity challenge, but the learning doesn’t stop here.

Check Point exposed four critical flaws in Microsoft Teams. Attackers could forge executive caller IDs, silently edit messages without trace, and spoof notifications for BEC and espionage.

GreyNoise tracked a coordinated cryptojacking blitz exploiting PHP RCE flaws (CVE-2024-4577, ThinkPHP) to deploy miners on cloud infrastructure. The spike is driven by high Bitcoin prices.

CERT Polska exposed NGate, an Android malware that tricks users into tapping their card against their phone to steal NFC EMV data and PINs. The data is then relayed to an ATM for cash withdrawal.

Trustwave confirmed the "Trinity of Chaos" alliance (Scattered Spider, LAPSUS$, ShinyHunters) launched a federated EaaS model for high-profile extortion, driven by performance, theatrics, and insider recruitment.

CISA added two critical, actively exploited flaws to its KEV Catalog: Gladinet LFI (CVE-2025-11371) risks RCE via machine key theft, and CWP RCE (CVE-2025-48703) allows unauthenticated admin takeover.

Google Translate rolled out a Gemini-powered "Advanced" mode that sacrifices speed for higher accuracy and contextual fluency. The feature is currently limited to select language pairs like English/French/Spanish.

China's RedDrip exposed APT zero-day exploitation of Android email clients, achieving 1-click RCE via the ZipperDown flaw to steal account tokens and compromise targets around the Korean Peninsula.

A Critical RCE flaw (CVE-2025-11953, CVSS 9.8) in React Native Community CLI allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a command injection in the exposed Metro Dev Server.

A Critical (CVSS 9.8) LFI flaw (CVE-2025-12493) in ShopLentor (WooCommerce Builder) allows unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary .php files and compromise 100K+ e-commerce sites.
