214/69 Tuesday, April 21, 2026 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced a change in its approach to assessing and analyzing vulnerabilities within the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), effective April 15. This decision comes as global reporting of vulnerabilities (CVEs) has surged by 263%, with continued growth expected in 2026-overwhelming the agency’s […]
213/69 Monday, April 20, 2026 Researchers from Sophos have identified a ransomware campaign involving Payouts King, which leverages QEMU to create a hidden virtual machine (VM) inside compromised systems. This VM acts as a covert backdoor, using reverse SSH connections to execute malware, store malicious files, and maintain remote control-while evading detection from traditional endpoint […]
212/69 Monday, April 20, 2026 Researchers from Fortinet have uncovered a cyberattack campaign leveraging Nexcorium, a variant of the Mirai malware. The campaign exploits CVE-2024-3721, a command injection vulnerability in TBK DVR devices, along with attacks targeting end-of-life TP-Link routers. These compromised devices are then recruited into botnets used for Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The […]
