> TODAY'S SUMMARY (4 articles)
Today’s cybersecurity landscape highlights several critical threats. Researchers from Param have identified a vulnerability in ChatGPT where a malicious share link can execute code in a user's session, potentially exposing private chats. Meanwhile, Cloudflare reported a staggering 18.2 million network-layer DDoS attacks in Q3, an increase of 38%, averaging over 8,200 attacks per hour. Additionally, Microsoft has issued warnings regarding a malicious extension mimicking Claude Code, which establishes a persistent SSH backdoor for attackers. Organizations need to be vigilant in improving their defenses against these escalating threats.
