What happened
Ars Technica's recent security feed highlights a surge of high-impact incidents and policy moves: a global law-enforcement operation (“Operation Endgame”) disrupted widely used cybercrime tooling; governments accelerated post-quantum crypto adoption timelines; AMD reinstated consumer memory encryption after backlash. Multiple high-severity vulnerabilities and active exploits were reported — including a PeopleSoft 0‑day used to exfiltrate gigabytes of data, a critical Copilot/LLM-related flaw that exposed 2FA codes, a Linux kernel use‑after‑free leading to local root, and an eavesdropping bug (
