On November 10, 2025, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) revoked Canada’s measles elimination status. More than 5,000 cases have been reported since the outbreak began in October 2024. Canada has failed to control the measles epidemic for a quarter of a century. The United States may soon join its neighbors to the north in this disgraceful designation, thanks to a resurgence of the anti-vaccine movement given new influence with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).Measles is the most contagious disease known to science. If 10 unvaccinated people are in…
November 19, 2025Ravi LakshmananVulnerability/Threat Intelligence A recently revealed security flaw affecting 7-Zip is being exploited in the wild, according to an advisory issued by NHS England Digital on Tuesday. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-11001 (CVSS score: 7.0), which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. This issue was addressed in 7-Zip version 25.00, released in July 2025. “A specific flaw exists in the handling of symbolic links within ZIP files. Specially crafted data within a ZIP file could allow a process to navigate to an unintended directory,” Trend Micro’s Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI) said in an alert released…
Cybersecurity researchers have revealed details of a new campaign that combines social engineering and WhatsApp hijacking to distribute a Delphi-based banking Trojan named Eternidade Stealer as part of an attack targeting users in Brazil. “It uses Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) to dynamically obtain a command and control (C2) address, allowing the attacker to update the C2 server,” said Trustwave SpiderLabs researchers Nathaniel Morales, John Basmayor, and Nikita Kazymirskyi in technical details of the campaign shared with The Hacker News. “It is being distributed through a WhatsApp worm campaign, with the attackers now deploying a Python script from a previous…
Patient: 35-year-old female living in BrazilSymptoms: A woman presents to the hospital after suffering a miscarriage during her seventh week of pregnancy. Prior to the hospital visit, the woman’s gynecologist decided to test the patient’s chromosomes to see if there was an underlying genetic reason for the miscarriage.The most common karyotype, or chromosomal profile, for women is 46,XX. 46 indicates that each cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes. Two of these are sex chromosomes, usually XX for women and XY for men. However, testing revealed that the patient’s blood cell karyotype was 46,XY, a typical male karyotype. you may like…
On Wednesday, Spotify announced new features designed to introduce users to the people behind their favorite music, including producers, engineers, songwriters, and background vocalists. The company also plans to release tools that show how songs are connected and what inspired them. The second set of tools is introduced with a new interactive feature called SongDNA, which shows you what songs are sampled on a particular track, who covered the song, and what other projects the song’s collaborators may be involved with. Image credit: Spotify TechCrunch reported in October that Spotify was developing the SongDNA feature as a way to let…
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers resigned from OpenAI’s board days after Congress released a large cache of emails containing details of his intimate relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mr. Summers is a former president and current professor at Harvard University. The university will launch its own investigation into the relationship between Summers and Epstein, the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported. The university newspaper also reported that Summers would withdraw from public commitments. His resignation came a day after both the House and Senate voted to release the Epstein files. In the past few days, a House committee released…
CardLab provides passwordless biometric authentication to protect businesses and critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats. Additionally, we added FIDO-certified biometric cards and server login solutions. Cybersecurity and digital convenience are hot topics right now, and Card Lab anticipated and addressed them by adapting our current strategic focus. With global cybercrime costs expected to reach $9.22 trillion in 2024 and jump to $14 trillion by 2028, we must recognize that the introduction of quantum computing is failing traditional security measures. Credential theft, human error, cyber warfare, social engineering, and abuse of privilege, such as sharing credentials and passwords, pose significant risks…
November 19, 2025Ravi LakshmananVulnerability/Threat Intelligence A newly discovered campaign has compromised tens of thousands of obsolete or end-of-life (EoL) ASUS routers around the world, primarily in Taiwan, the United States, and Russia, and connected them to large networks. This router hijacking activity has been codenamed “Operation WrtHug” by SecurityScorecard’s STRIKE team. Southeast Asia and European countries are other regions where infections have been recorded. The attack may involve exploiting six known security flaws in the end-of-life ASUS WRT router to gain control of susceptible devices. All infected routers were found to share their own self-signed TLS certificates with expiration dates…
Swedish vibe-coding unicorn Lovable has doubled its annual recurring revenue (ARR) to $200 million in just four months, co-founder and CEO Anton Osika said on stage at technology conference Slush 2025 in Helsinki, Finland. The milestone comes just four months after the one-year-old company surpassed $100 million in ARR in July. Osika credited the AI-assisted coding software maker’s decision not to relocate to Silicon Valley as a key reason for its success so far. Osika said LaBable decided to remain in Europe despite receiving a lot of early advice that the company would only succeed if it left the region…
The challenge facing security leaders is securing an environment where failure is not an option. Relying on traditional security postures such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) to track threats that enter a network is fundamentally risky and contributes significantly to the $5 trillion annual cost of cybercrime. Zero Trust fundamentally changes this approach, moving from responding to symptoms to proactively solving the root problem. Application control, the ability to precisely define what software is allowed to run, is the cornerstone of this strategy. However, even once an application is trusted, it can still be exploited. This is where ThreatLocker…
