> TODAY'S SUMMARY (14 articles)
Today's cybersecurity news highlights several significant threats and trends. 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. The rise of IoT vulnerabilities is underscored by recent hacks affecting critical infrastructure, such as blood labs and grocery stores. Additionally, vulnerabilities in SonicWall's SonicOS have been exploited, prompting CISA to add these to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Developers are also reminded of security best practices, as sensitive credentials were found exposed in public GitHub repositories.

Many machine learning (ML) models are Python pickle files under the hood, and it makes sense. The use of pickling conserves memory, enables start-and-stop model training, and makes trained models portable (and, thereby, shareable). Pickling is easy to implement, is built into Python without requirin...
