100,000 servers. One HTTP header change. Full admin access. No password required. They call it “Ni8mare.” CVSS 10.0. The patch existed for 7 weeks. The release notes mentioned nothing. 😏

CVE-2026-21858. “Ni8mare” The name says it all.

n8n is a workflow automation platform. Think Zapier, but open source and self-hosted. Over 100 million Docker pulls. Used by Vodafone, Delivery Hero, StepStone. Thousands of enterprises run their entire automation infrastructure on it, with 400+ integrations connecting everything in one central hub.

Notion AI steals data before the user clicks OK. 100 million users. 4 million paying customers. Amazon. Nike. Uber. Pixar. More than half of Fortune 500 companies trust this $10 billion platform with their documents. And a hidden PDF can extract everything. 😏 Two major vulnerabilities since September 2025. Notion’s response to the latest one: “Not Applicable.”

Someone uploads a document to Notion AI. A resume, a customer report, anything. Looks completely normal. But hidden inside is white text on white background, 1-point font size, with a white square image placed over it for good measure. Invisible to humans. The AI reads it perfectly.

Two Chrome extensions. 900,000 users. Every ChatGPT and DeepSeek conversation stolen. Sent to attacker servers every 30 minutes. Google gave one of them a Featured badge. The extensions are still live in the Chrome Web Store right now. 🤔

This is the third major case in three weeks. First the sleeper extensions that waited 7 years before activating. Then Urban VPN selling 8 million users’ AI chats to data brokers. Now this. Security researchers have a name for it: “Prompt Poaching.” And it’s becoming a gold rush.

$5 buys two months of complete access to someone’s computer. Keylogging, webcam, passwords, files. The malware is called DCRat. The delivery method: a fake Blue Screen of Death that tricks people into hacking themselves. 😱

ClickFix attacks surged 517% in six months. Now the second most common attack vector after phishing. 8% of all blocked attacks. The campaign is called PHALT#BLYX. Securonix published their analysis January 5, 2026.

An email arrives with subject “Reservation Cancellation.” Sender appears to be Booking.com. The message mentions a refund over €1,000 and urges the recipient to click and review. Booking.com has been a popular target before, with similar campaigns in 2023 and 2024.

€7.68 billion budget. 3,000 staff. A brand new Cyber Security Operations Centre opened. A hacker spent 7 days inside their systems downloading 200GB of data. Data for sale on FBI honeypot 😏 On December 18, a hacker using the alias “888” got into ESA servers. JIRA project management. Bitbucket code repositories. Internal documentation systems. For seven days, nobody noticed.

On December 26, screenshots appeared on BreachForums. On December 30, ESA finally confirmed the breach.

A botnet just fired 1.7 billion DDoS commands in 72 hours. Attack capacity: nearly 30 Terabits per second. 2 million Android TV boxes sitting in living rooms across 222 countries and regions. And now we know how the attackers built it so fast. 🧐

The attackers didn’t send phishing emails. They didn’t trick anyone into downloading malware. They just bought access to a proxy service and walked right into home networks.

A 16-year-old built an AI that mass-hunts memory bugs. It found 6 vulnerabilities in FFmpeg in December. One was a heap buffer overflow in the EXIF parser. The code that reads your photo metadata. 😎

FFmpeg processes media on billions of devices. VLC. Chrome. Firefox. YouTube. Blender. OBS Studio. Plex. Even NASA’s Perseverance rover uses FFmpeg.

The vulnerability: CVE is still pending.

Important nuance: this bug was in FFmpeg’s development branch, not in a public release. It existed for three days before it was caught. Three days. FFmpeg called the researcher “a model security researcher” for catching it before it shipped.

Your headphones just became a backdoor to your phone. No pairing. No popup. Just Bluetooth range. 70 million chips. Sony. Bose. Marshall. JBL. A debug protocol active on production devices. Attackers can dump your Bluetooth keys, impersonate your headphones, and hijack your phone. 🤔

Three CVEs. Zero authentication required. Full technical disclosure: December 27, 2025 at 39C3.

The vulnerabilities

→ CVE-2025-20700: No authentication on Bluetooth Low Energy → CVE-2025-20701: No authentication on Bluetooth Classic → CVE-2025-20702: Debug protocol exposed that should never be accessible

RondoDox added React2Shell to its arsenal. 90,000+ servers. 56 vulnerabilities. 30+ vendors. They call it the “exploit-shotgun” approach. Fire everything, see what hits. 😱

Once inside, RondoDox doesn’t just sit there. It launches DDoS attacks. Mines Monero. Turns infected devices into proxies to hide other attacks. And it breaks the tools needed to fight back.

The botnet has been running for 9 months. Three distinct phases. March to April 2025 was reconnaissance. April to June was daily probing of WordPress, Drupal, Struts2, and IoT devices. July onward became hourly automated attacks at scale.

The crypto library behind Discord, WordPress, and Zcash just got its first CVE. After 13 years. 😏 libsodium. You’ve probably never heard of it. But it’s everywhere.

libsodium is one of the most trusted cryptographic libraries in the world. Discord secures voice chat with it. WordPress validates updates with it. Zcash processes transactions with it. Stellar powers financial apps with it.

13,300+ GitHub stars. Bindings in every programming language you can think of. From PHP to Rust to Python to Go.
