What happened
Collection of recent high-impact security events: LG will ban smart‑TV apps that turn sets into always‑on residential proxy nodes after researchers found many apps enable third‑party traffic routing. FBI seized hundreds of domains linked to NetNut and the Popa Android botnet, which researchers tie to publicly‑traded Alarum Technologies. Microsoft released a record 570 fixes (attributed in part to AI‑assisted discovery). CISA issued a postmortem for a GitHub leak exposing internal credentials and AWS GovCloud keys. Other notable items: convictions/guilty pleas tied to Scattered Spider, analysis
