What happened

SentinelOne’s Week 33 cybersecurity roundup highlights a court sentence involving sextortion of 117 minors, a joint advisory concerning Gunra ransomware, and ShieldBreak, a technique reportedly capable of bypassing Microsoft Defender to obtain SYSTEM-level access. The feed also includes articles on AI security, agentic SOC operations, HPC runtime protection, and threat hunting. The most security-relevant item is ShieldBreak’s endpoint-defense bypass and privilege escalation capability, though no specific CVE is identified in the supplied metadata.
