What happened
This feed highlights multiple security developments. Key item: Opera released Paste Protect, a built-in, enabled-by-default clipboard protection for its desktop browsers to block clipboard-based attacks (pastejacking/ClickFix), which researchers say accounted for over half of malware-delivery attacks in 2025. Other notable stories: awareness of an endpoint recovery gap that backups don’t address; research and tooling to detect ransomware activity on network/shared storage before servers are locked; an AI-driven patch reporting surge creating an open‑source patch gap; GitHub’s LicenseCompliance
