What happened
This collection highlights multiple high-impact incidents: law enforcement seizures and researcher findings connecting the Popa Android-based botnet (millions of infected TV/TV-box devices) to NetNut/Alarum Technologies and resulting FBI domain seizures; LG moving to ban residential-proxy apps on webOS after researchers found many apps permit third-party traffic routing; a major CISA GitHub credential leak that exposed internal AWS GovCloud keys and other secrets; Microsoft releasing an unprecedented 570 fixes (attributed in part to AI-assisted discovery); and several related fraud/abuse items
