What happened
A large batch of security stories: researchers found thousands of public Google Cloud API keys (AIza...) that can be abused to access sensitive Gemini endpoints; numerous high-severity vulnerabilities are actively exploited (notably Cisco SD‑WAN CVE‑2026‑20127, FileZen CVE‑2026‑25108, and multiple SolarWinds Serv‑U flaws), and supply‑chain attacks continue to surge with malicious open‑source packages and trojanized developer repos.
