What happened

Help Net Security reports on European retail cyber disruptions, firmware-level malware preinstalled on low-cost Android phones, a suspected hardware implant in Ledger wallets linked to more than $93 million in theft, upcoming Windows Update certificate rotation requirements, shortened Let’s Encrypt certificate lifetimes, cyber resilience trends, AI-agent sandboxing, and shortcomings in AI-generated vulnerability patches. The most severe items are the supply-chain compromises affecting Android devices and Ledger hardware wallets, while no specific CVEs are identified.
