Meta AI Support Bug Let Attackers Hijack 20,225 Instagram Accounts

Meta disclosed that its AI-powered High Touch Support tool failed to verify whether the email submitted for a password reset actually matched the target account, letting anyone request a reset link for accounts without 2FA.

The abuse started on April 17 and ran undetected until May 31, when Meta yanked the tool and invalidated all generated links.

Exposed data may include DMs, posts, contact info, birthdays, and linked services; affected users have been force-reset and pushed through security checkpoints.

Cisco: Leading AI Models Crack at 88% Under Multi-Turn Prompt Attacks Vendors Don't Test

Cisco researchers tested 15 leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Amazon and xAI and found multi-turn attack success rates of 8–88% versus 2–65% for single-turn — every model proved vulnerable when an attacker could adapt across turns.

Grok 4.1 Fast Non-Reasoning was the worst at 88% multi-turn ASR; Amazon Nova 2 Lite the best at 8%, still flagged as meaningful residual risk.

Successful tactics included role-play, misdirection, information decomposition, refusal reframing and incremental escalation.

Vendor safety reports lean on single-turn benchmarks, so published claims understate real-world risk for enterprises deploying these models.

Cisco Warns of 7th SD-WAN Zero-Day Exploited in 2026 — No Patch Yet

Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-20245, a flaw in Catalyst SD-WAN Manager letting a netadmin-level attacker upload a crafted file and run arbitrary commands as root.

Mandiant has observed limited in-the-wild exploitation, in some cases pushing rogue configurations down to edge devices.

No patch and no workaround are available; attackers can chain it with earlier SD-WAN bugs (CVE-2026-20182, CVE-2026-20127) to obtain the required privileges.

FBI: Silent Ransom Group Now Walking Into Law Firms Posing as IT Staff

The FBI warned that Silent Ransom Group (aka Luna Moth, Chatty Spider, UNC3753) is now showing up in person at US law firms — when phishing fails — pretending to be IT support to plug storage devices into machines under the pretext of post-phishing imaging.

The crew has targeted US legal, insurance, finance and healthcare firms consistently since spring 2023.

After minimal privilege escalation, operators exfiltrate unencrypted data with WinSCP or renamed Rclone, then extort victims by threatening to leak files to employees and clients.

Defenders are urged to reinforce physical access controls many organizations deprioritized as workloads moved to the cloud.

19-Year-Old Linux Kernel Vulnerability Exposes Systems to Root Access

According to SpaceX security engineer Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada, the kernel does not check the origin of the request and the key description, which allows an attacker to call the request_key function directly and can supply their own key description fields, bypassing CIFS origin.

Hackers Breach Canvas Learning Platform, Exposing Data on Millions of Students and Teachers

A cybersecurity attack on the nation's most widely used classroom software has potentially exposed the personal data of millions of students and educators across the country.

Instructure, the company that runs the Canvas learning management system used by more than 7,000 universities, K-12 districts and education ministries worldwide, disclosed the breach to affected institutions this week.

The company confirmed names, email addresses, student ID numbers and private messages between users had been accessed before the breach was contained.

ShinyHunters warned that a failure to pay could result in the release of "several billions of private messages among students and teachers."

A ransom message on the platform appears to give Infrastructure until May 12 to respond and "negotiate a settlement" before the hackers leak information.

They are using fake meetings to gain full access to corporate systems, credentials, and sensitive data.

• Who is at risk: Fintech, crypto, and high-value environments where macOS is widely used by developers, executives, and decision-makers. 

• Why this is hard to detect: The attack relies on social engineering and native macOS binaries, reducing visibility for traditional EDR tools.
 
• How SOCs should respond: Identify credential exposure early by introducing @anyrun_app’s cross-platform analysis capabilities during triage that offers a 36% higher detection rate.

VaultJacking Hands Over an Entire Google Password Manager Vault for One Phished 6-Digit PIN

Phishu researchers disclosed VaultJacking, which abuses Google Password Manager's cross-device sync so a single phished 6-digit GPM PIN unlocks the Security Level Secret protecting the vault.

The attacker registers a fresh device in the victim's security domain and pulls every synced password and passkey — even hardware-backed ones — with no malware or device foothold required.

Google is treating this as an accepted design trade-off rather than a bug, so no patch is on the way for Chrome 359 and later.

Defenders are urged to split work and personal Chrome profiles, prefer on-prem password managers, train users on auth prompts, and tighten sync-layer security tiering.

CrowdStrike, Google and the Shadowserver Foundation dismantled the Glassworm botnet, active for two years and used to compromise software developers via malicious marketplace extensions, malvertising and stolen credentials.

Over 300 GitHub repos were poisoned to seed supply-chain attacks downstream.

Four C2 channels were disrupted, including ones abusing the Solana blockchain, BitTorrent, Google Calendar and rented VPSes.
