What happened
SANS ISC Diary feed highlights an AI-assisted operation that harvested exposed or fraudulently obtained LLM inference access and resold it through an attacker-controlled gateway. It also reports active exploitation of an unpatched MikroTik SSH authentication-bypass vulnerability with persistence via unauthorized accounts, widespread Microsoft Patch Tuesday remediation, scanning for vulnerable legacy Proxmox VE systems, and Redtail malware analysis.
