cPanel published a terse advisory saying that there was an issue with “session loading and saving” and that it affects every version of the software.
The current exploits are targeting CVE-2026-32202, a bug in the Windows Shell that allows an attacker to gain access to some sensitive data on the target network.
Deep#Door stealer is being used in intrusions targeting Windows machines, using an obfuscated deployment chain.
Ariana Mirian, cofounder of startup Beesafe, joins Dennis to talk about the mechanics of online romance and finance scams, how the scammers draw in victims over weeks or months, and why user awareness isn’t the complete solution to the problem.
This week we dig deep into the Vercel intrusion that emerged last weekend, how it happened, what the response was, and what the downstream effects may be for defenders. Then we talk about CISA’s bizarre delayed response to the Axios npm compromise and what it signals about the agency’s capabilities going forward.
The three newly added bugs are CVE-2026-20122, CVE-2026-20128, and CVE-2026-20133, the last of which had not been identified in active attacks before.
