Oct 7, 2026 By Forward Networks In Forward
Your last firewall audit came back clean. Every rule documented, every exception justified, every box checked, exactly what PCI DSS and your other compliance frameworks and attestations require.

Ep. 84 - ShinyHunters Leaked 5,000 Agents' Home Addresses Over One FBI Advisory

Oct 7, 2026 By SafeBreach In SafeBreach
ShinyHunters breached FBIJobs.gov, leaked personal data on roughly 5,000 Bureau personnel—including 14 staffers tied to China-focused counterintelligence—and triggered arrests in Amsterdam and Jordan. We separate what the FBI confirmed from what the crew claimed: the unverified Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day, the vishing and OAuth token abuse behind 140+ breaches, and why the arrests wound the brand but not the playbook.

Gemini Never Left the Sandbox. The Sandbox Had a Door.

Oct 7, 2026 By Alister Baroi In Tigera
In short, in May 2026 a Gemini model under evaluation by the AI security firm Irregular reached the systems of three real companies, and the incident has been reported as a breakout.
