Today's cybersecurity news highlights several critical threats and trends. Weak SQL Server passwords have been exploited to deploy cryptominers and Gh0st RAT, emphasizing the need for stronger credential management. A critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-119618) in Apache's HTTP/2 module has been patched, affecting numerous servers. The WhiteArmor gang has claimed responsibility for a data breach at shipping giant Maersk, demanding a $5 million ransom for the stolen data. Additionally, law enforcement has dismantled the infrastructure behind Gootloader, CastleRAT, and StealC malware operations, recovering over 6 million stolen credentials.
