What happened
A broad wave of security incidents and disclosures: researchers uncovered TuxBot v3 Evolution (an IoT botnet framework with signs of LLM-assisted development) and OkoBot, a Windows malware framework that injects seed-phrase phishing into Ledger/Trezor desktop apps. Multiple high-severity flaws were disclosed or patched — including Firefox bugs with public exploit code (CVE-2026-15718, CVE-2026-15719), SonicWall SMA 1000 zero-days under active exploitation (CVE-2026-15409), and a critical SAP NetWeaver ABAP out-of-bounds write (CVE-2026-44747). Supply-chain and client-side risks are prominent:@
