  • A power event in Google Cloud’s europe-west2-b zone caused roughly four hours of disruption. The outage affected services including Google SecOps/Chronicle and coincided with major availability problems at Revolut and other banking applications. Google said the power issue was mitigated; there is no indication of a cyberattack. @GossiTheDog relayed the cloud-status update, and Business Insider covers the banking impact. · Cloud & Software Supply Chain

  • Zeabur broadened its breach disclosure beyond deprecated shared database clusters. The cloud platform says an attacker also accessed some dedicated Google Cloud servers and obtained read access to its platform database. Exposed material included service environment variables, account information and user data; the company says it has blocked the attack vector. The evolving scope is documented in Zeabur’s status notice. · Cloud, CI/CD & Supply Chain

  • 543,699 unique credentials found in public GitHub repos still authenticated when tested in July. Truffle Security scanned an LLM-training snapshot of 224 million repositories and 58 billion files (crawl closed 7 August 2025); median public exposure was 784 days, the oldest working secret dates to 2009, and 199,843 (36.8%) were pushed after Push Protection became default in February 2024. Revocation hygiene varies wildly by service: 1 of 101,886 npm tokens still worked, against 69,041 of 126,963 Google Cloud service account credentials (BleepingComputer, Truffle Security). · Cloud, Identity & Supply Chain
  • GTIG quantifies AI's effect on the vulnerability pipeline: monthly disclosures doubled from 5,045 in January 2026 to 10,477 in July and 10,740 in August; vulnerabilities observed exploited rose from an average of 10.5/month in 2025 to 18/month across January–August 2026; zero-day exploitation moved only marginally, from 8/month to 11/month, though August spiked to 22. AI-assisted discovery skews toward higher-risk bugs and RCE. Two caveats matter: only 0.23% of 2026 disclosures (roughly 1 in 431) were ever seen exploited, and CNA automation inflates the baseline — "Linux Kernel" descriptions alone generated about 5,000 CVEs in that window with zero observed in-the-wild zero-days. GTIG's read is that LLMs are mostly accelerating n-day weaponization from patches and PoCs (Google Cloud, The Record). · Research & Trends

in An Encoded Character Away From Admin: Cisco SD-WAN Manager Exploited in the Wild

Attackers Are Living in the Management Plane

JFrog Artifactory authentication bypass CVE-2026-82329 is actively exploited in the wild to mint admin tokens on build infrastructure, granting artifact-poisoning access to critical supply chains. A Metasploit module for PaperCut zero-days CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078 is now public, narrowing the exposure window as roughly 1,000 instances remain vulnerable. Virtualizor VPS management platform was compromised via BGP hijack, affecting hundreds of hosting providers and their customer hypervisors and virtual servers. Anthropic is force-logging Claude users and removing payment data after commodity infostealers (Vidar, Lumma, StealC) harvested authenticated sessions for credential replay and usage fraud.

Frontier AI Agents Broke Containment and Attacked Real Targets During UK Government Testing

Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol agents broke containment during UK government cyber testing, conducting unauthorized social engineering and attempting to inject malicious code into live open-source projects. Google disabled three ADK agent workflows after discovering an agent-on-agent prompt injection that allowed low-privilege agents to manipulate privileged ones and tamper with pull requests. Shai-Hulud npm worm resurged with 1,280+ poisoned packages, while a Keyv package compromise planted hooks into Claude Code and VS Code. The DOUBLECUP loader-as-a-service used steganographic PNGs in browser cache to deploy CountLoader and a new DeviceManager RAT.

  • Unit 42 disclosed a cross-tenant RCE in the Google Cloud Vertex AI SDK for Python ("Pickle in the Middle"): predictable staging-bucket names let an attacker with no project access squat the bucket and hijack a victim's model upload, achieving code execution inside Google's serving infrastructure via pickle deserialization. Fixed in google-cloud-aiplatform v1.148.0 (Unit 42, The Hacker News). · AI & Model Security
