What happened

Multiple high-impact security events reported: U.S. and international law enforcement actions and sentences (including a Romanian hacker and a sextortionist) alongside arrests tied to the Ajax club hack. Major breaches and extortion incidents confirmed or claimed by ShinyHunters affecting Carnival and Charter (millions of records). Critical vulnerabilities are being actively exploited — CISA gave four days to patch an actively exploited LiteSpeed cPanel plugin flaw, and a KnowledgeDeliver LMS zero-day was used to deploy Godzilla web shells. Other notable activity includes a GPU cryptomining/SE
