What happened
Multiple high-impact security and law-enforcement developments: Dutch investigators seized 800 servers tied to a hosting provider used for cyberattacks, disinformation and interference operations, and international actions took down services (First VPN) and led to arrests (KimWolf botnet admin, alleged tech-support fraud facilitators). Several active and high-severity vulnerabilities were reported or patched—Trend Micro Apex One and Microsoft Defender zero-days exploited in the wild, a Drupal critical SQL injection under active attack, and maximum-severity flaws in Ubiquiti UniFi OS and Cisco
