Multiple security stories: U.S. DOJ sentenced two New Jersey men for operating North Korean ‘laptop farms’ that generated over $5M for Pyongyang; researchers uncovered sophisticated cargo-theft operators using remote-access campaigns contributing to $6.6B in North American losses; a new espionage malware named AgingFly targeted Ukrainian hospitals and local governments; a webXray audit found many ad/analytics services ignore global opt-out signals, undermining user privacy; and NIST announced it will limit work on CVE entries as submission volumes surge, changing how vulnerabilities are triage
