from Cybersecurity Today

Entra ID Perfect 10 Patch, Defender Driver Weaponized, SickKids Breach, Live Leaked AWS Keys, and Car Head Unit Malware Microsoft patched a maximum-severity Entra ID deserialization RCE (CVE-2026-69836) after briefly indicating it was exploited in the wild before correcting that claim; the fix is already deployed server-side with no customer action required. Check Point Research detailed how Microsoft Defender's signed BTR.sys remediation driver can be weaponized to remove Defender components during a reboot "golden window," though it requires administrator privileges and no real-world abuse has been seen. Toronto's SickKids reported a cyber incident tied to a third-party application exposing employee-related personal data but not patient systems, offering two years of credit monitoring. Truffle Security found hundreds of thousands of leaked AWS secrets, with 88% of re-verified keys still active, including many root and full-admin keys. Kaspersky described a supply-chain malware chain targeting Android-based car head units, mainly for proxying and ad fraud, reportedly now resolved by DoFun. 00:00 Top Stories Rundown  00:30 Entra ID Perfect 10 Patch 01:55 Defender Driver Weaponized 03:31 SickKids Hit Again 05:10 Leaked AWS Keys Still Live 06:48 Car Head Unit Botnet 08:25 Wrap Up And Sign Off
