What happened
Multiple high-impact incidents and vulnerability disclosures: Starbucks disclosed a phishing-driven data breach of its Partner Central portal affecting 889 employees. Microsoft Defender Experts attributed an SEO-poisoning credential-theft campaign to Storm-2561 that lures victims to spoofed Ivanti/Cisco/Fortinet VPN sites. INTERPOL’s Operation Synergia III dismantled ~45,000 malicious IPs/servers and led to 94 arrests. Law enforcement disrupted the SocksEscort proxy service backed by the AVrecon botnet (≈360,000 infected devices). IBM X‑Force links Hive0163 to AI-assisted Slopoly malware used
