What happened
Dark Reading highlights a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in cPanel that quickly spawned multiple proof-of-concept exploits and likely zero-day activity, threatening millions of sites. The feed also documents widespread, high-risk activity: China-backed Silver Fox delivering novel backdoors (ABCDoor, ValleyRAT) via mass social engineering; TeamPCP supply-chain compromises targeting SAP npm packages; emergent wiper/ransomware variants (Vect, Lotus) and other destructive campaigns; an unpatched Windows 'PhantomRPC' privilege-escalation architectural flaw; and numerous AI-accelerated
