Microsoft’s admission that three on‑prem SharePoint Server versions are being hit by a zero‑day—after previous patching failures—is a wake‑up call for organizations to urgently protect sensitive data and rethink the risks of clinging to legacy systems.
Ivanti Zero-Days: Risky Threat — Must-Have Fixes
Ivanti Connect Secure appliances were recently abused via two zero-days to install MDifyLoader and unleash Cobalt Strike, turning trusted VPN gateways into powerful footholds for attackers. Act now: patch immediately, enforce MFA and segmentation, and ramp up monitoring and threat hunting to stop this fast-moving threat.
Salt Typhoon breach: Stunning, Risky National Threat
The Salt Typhoon breach of the National Guard is a stark wake‑up call—sophisticated attackers exploited systemic weak spots to expose sensitive data and erode trust. Fixing it will take urgent, coordinated action: modernizing systems, tightening authentication, and improving detection and transparency.
LameHug malware: Critical Exclusive AI Threat

If you’re still running SonicWall VPNs that are end-of-life, beware: attackers are planting stealthy backdoors and rootkits—even on patched devices—turning trusted remote-access gear into long-term footholds. Audit your appliances now and prioritize replacing, isolating, or hardening any unsupported units before a quiet compromise becomes a costly breach.
Digital Citizen Services: Must-Have Security Best Practices
As cities move services online, recent attacks on Hoboken and Killeen show that convenience brings real risk—security must be built in, not bolted on, to protect services, data, and public trust. By investing in people, policies, and modern tech now, municipalities can turn vulnerability into resilience before the next outage.
Portable Storage: Exclusive Must-Have Defense for Risky OT
A single USB drive can turn critical infrastructure into a disaster—NIST SP 1334 shows how layered controls, device allowlists, and practical workflows can stop that from happening. Protecting portable storage in OT doesn’t mean slowing your team; it means smart, usable safeguards that keep services running and people safe.
ZuRu Critical Threat: Exclusive Must-Have Defense
