What happened
Ars Technica security feed covering emerging and active cyber threats, including quantum risks to RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography, state-sponsored hacking, large-scale data exposure, destructive and self-propagating malware, software supply-chain compromises, mobile and network-device exploitation, exploited iOS vulnerabilities, Wi-Fi attacks, and password-manager security concerns. The feed indicates significant risk across critical infrastructure, software ecosystems, enterprise networks, and consumer devices.
