Russia-linked extortion operatives are walking into law firm offices disguised as IT support, plugging in USB drives, and stealing data when remote social engineering fails. We break down the full attack chain, the 100+ firms hit so far, and why Jones Day (yes, Trump's lawyers) is on their leak site.Plus this week: A Cisco SD-WAN zero-day with NO PATCH that gives attackers root across your entire network fabric. An AI-discovered "HTTP/2 Bomb" that can take down any major web server in seconds — found by OpenAI's own Codex. Google and YouTube ads silently delivering a macOS backdoor that passed Apple notarization. And how Grafana Labs got hit by the same npm supply chain attack that compromised OpenAI and Mistral.Links to all stories below.
