The Cyber Express Weekly Roundup: Global Cybersecurity Incidents and Policy Shifts

This week’s Cyber Express roundup covers a wave of high-impact incidents — including a cyberattack that disrupted Spain’s Ministry of Science, data exposures at AI-built Moltbook and a delayed Substack breach, plus regulatory probes into X’s Grok and OpenAI’s new defensive access program. The reporting stresses that rapid AI-driven digital expansion is outpacing security maturity, causing misconfigurations, prolonged breach detection, and the urgent need for embedded controls and continuous monitoring. #Moltbook #Substack
