A major cyberattack on French bank Crédit Mutuel Arkéa resulted in fraudulent transactions totaling $133 million, emphasizing the risks associated with third-party service providers. Scammers are increasingly impersonating trusted brands in fake gift card schemes, collecting personal information from unsuspecting consumers.

Additionally, vulnerabilities in SonicWall's SonicOS have been exploited, prompting CISA to add these to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
