The Modem Nobody Audited: Inside the 2026 Water Utility PLC Attacks
Thirty-plus Minnesota water utilities lost control of their PLCs in a single weekend, and the entry point wasn't the internet-facing HMI everyone scans for — it was a cellular modem nobody put on the asset inventory. A look at what CyberAv3ngers actually did, why a 2021 CVE is still unpatched, and why 'get it off the internet' misses the real exposure.
Inside the AI-Orchestrated EDR Evasion Lab: What Sophos Actually Found, and Why the Bug Wasn't in the Malware
Sophos recovered a fully autonomous malware R&D pipeline — a coordinator agent, four subordinate agents, a self-provisioned lab, and 80 evasion modules built against three EDR vendors. The interesting part isn't that it worked. It's the one thing in the whole pipeline that didn't.
Negative Time-to-Exploit: AI Bug Hunting Just Broke the One Assumption Your Patch Cycle Depends On
Kimi K3 found 19 Redis zero-days in 90 minutes. XBOW is #1 on HackerOne's global leaderboard. Anthropic's Mythos Preview found thousands of unpatched flaws across every major OS and browser. Meanwhile the average critical vulnerability still takes 252 days to fix. That gap is now the whole game.
Six Bulletins, One Bug Class: What Ubiquiti's 2026 UniFi Cadence Reveals About Shared-OS Edge Platforms
Since October 2025, Ubiquiti has shipped six security bulletins covering the UniFi line — five of them containing CVSS 9.9-10.0 flaws, two of them the exact same shell-injection bug class shipped seven months apart. This is what happens when one Nginx gateway and one OS layer sit in front of your network, your cameras, and your door locks.
The Agent Is the Payload: How AI Coding Agents Became 2026's Fastest RCE Pipeline
Six incidents in six weeks show the same failure mode: AI coding agents treat untrusted text as instructions and shell access as a convenience feature. Prompt injection to RCE is no longer theoretical — it's a documented, repeatable kill chain, and the guardrails vendors are shipping don't touch the actual boundary.
