The Vulnerability Treadmill
The reactive nature of vulnerability management, combined with delays from policy and process, strains security teams. Capacity is limited and patching everything immediately is a struggle. Our Vulnerability Operation Center (VOC) dataset analysis identified 1,337,797 unique findings (security issues) across 68,500 unique customer assets. 32,585 of them were distinct

Cybersecurity researchers have exposed what they say is an “industrial-scale, global cryptocurrency phishing operation” engineered to steal digital assets from cryptocurrency wallets for several years.
The campaign has been codenamed FreeDrain by threat intelligence firms SentinelOne and Validin.
“FreeDrain uses SEO manipulation, free-tier web services (like gitbook.io, webflow.io, and github.io

61% of security leaders reported suffering a breach due to failed or misconfigured controls over the past 12 months. This is despite having an average of 43 cybersecurity tools in place.
This massive rate of security failure is clearly not a security investment problem. It is a configuration problem. Organizations are beginning to understand that a security control installed or deployed is not

SonicWall has released patches to address three security flaws affecting SMA 100 Secure Mobile Access (SMA) appliances that could be fashioned to result in remote code execution.
The vulnerabilities are listed below –

CVE-2025-32819 (CVSS score: 8.8) – A vulnerability in SMA100 allows a remote authenticated attacker with SSL-VPN user privileges to bypass the path traversal checks and delete an

Threat actors with ties to the Qilin ransomware family have leveraged malware known as SmokeLoader along with a previously undocumented .NET compiled loader codenamed NETXLOADER as part of a campaign observed in November 2024.
“NETXLOADER is a new .NET-based loader that plays a critical role in cyber attacks,” Trend Micro researchers Jacob Santos, Raymart Yambot, John Rainier Navato, Sarah Pearl

The nation-state threat actor known as MirrorFace has been observed deploying malware dubbed ROAMINGMOUSE as part of a cyber espionage campaign directed against government agencies and public institutions in Japan and Taiwan.
The activity, detected by Trend Micro in March 2025, involved the use of spear-phishing lures to deliver an updated version of a backdoor called ANEL.
“The ANEL file from

Europol has announced the takedown of distributed denial of service (DDoS)-for-hire services that were used to launch thousands of cyber-attacks across the world.
In connection with the operation, Polish authorities have arrested four individuals and the United States has seized nine domains that are associated with the now-defunct platforms.
“The suspects are believed to be behind six separate

A second security flaw impacting the OttoKit (formerly SureTriggers) WordPress plugin has come under active exploitation in the wild.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-27007 (CVSS score: 9.8), is a privilege escalation bug impacting all versions of the plugin prior to and including version 1.0.82. 
“This is due to the create_wp_connection() function missing a capability check and

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed multiple security flaw in the on-premise version of SysAid IT support software that could be exploited to achieve pre-authenticated remote code execution with elevated privileges.
The vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2025-2775, CVE-2025-2776, and CVE-2025-2777, have all been described as XML External Entity (XXE) injections, which occur when an attacker is

Security Service Edge (SSE) platforms have become the go-to architecture for securing hybrid work and SaaS access. They promise centralized enforcement, simplified connectivity, and consistent policy control across users and devices.
But there’s a problem: they stop short of where the most sensitive user activity actually happens—the browser.
This isn’t a small omission. It’s a structural
