2. The FBI and Secret Service issued warnings regarding the FortiBleed campaign, which has compromised over 86,000 Fortinet devices, locking out administrators and stealing credentials.
3. A new malware strain, PoeLLM, has created a botnet by infiltrating over 3,400 servers, cleverly disguising its infrastructure within a poem.
4. Data breaches continue to escalate, with Georgia Power and Alabama Power confirming unauthorized access to 400,000 customer accounts, and a separate breach affecting over 1 million individuals in Arizona's court system.
