Recent cybersecurity incidents include Ingram Micro suffering a major outage caused by SafePay ransomware exploiting VPN vulnerabilities, and the City of Coppell, Texas, notifying residents of a data breach linked to RansomHub ransomware. Additionally, threat actors targeted France’s critical infrastructure using Ivanti zero-days, while Taiwan warns of data security risks from Chinese-developed apps. Key attack techniques involved exposed JDWP interfaces used by Hpingbot for DDoS, CSP bypasses through CSS injection, and NTLM relay attack resurgence. #SafePay #RansomHub #HellcatRansomware #Telefónica #JDWP #CSPBypass #NTLMRelay
