Good morning, ONSEC Cyber Daily readers! Today, we're diving into a whirlwind of cyber threats and vulnerabilities that are shaking up the digital landscape. The FBI and healthcare agencies have issued a stern warning about a credible threat against hospitals, following a multi-city social media terror plot alert. The ISIS-K is reportedly exploiting these vulnerabilities, making the situation even more critical. In the meantime, the cybersecurity community is on high alert as hackers exploit the Cisco CSLU backdoor. CERT-UA has warned of targeted cyberattacks on Ukraine's defense sector using the DarkCrystal RAT, exploiting the Signal app and social engineering tactics. The tech world is also buzzing about the critical Next.js vulnerability. Vercel, the company behind Next.js, has released a patch, but the threat remains. Similarly, 'IngressNightmare' vulnerabilities are imperiling Kubernetes environments, and urgent action is needed. In other news, Samsung has expanded its March 2025 security update to more Galaxy S25 models, addressing several critical and high-level security issues. Veeam has also released updates addressing a critical vulnerability in its Backup & Replication software. Oracle, however, denies the alleged theft of 6 million records, despite speculation that a critical vulnerability in Oracle Access Manager was not patched. Finally, don't miss out on our podcast recommendations for today. Tune in to APDR Podcast Episode 86 with host Kym Bergmann for insights on cybersecurity, and check out the CISO Series for a deep dive into the relationship between cybersecurity and business.
