What happened
A cluster of active, high-impact security incidents and research findings: large-scale phishing campaigns that can infect users on email preview, novel AI-related attack vectors (rogue agents, agent swarms, model poisoning), and escalating exploitation of critical internet-facing software (SharePoint, FortiSandbox, WordPress, Microsoft 365) and industrial controllers. Major patching activity is underway (Oracle's 1,449 fixes; Linux kernel CVE dump), while researchers disclose severe practical attacks — from Bluetooth-enabled car hijacks via shared aftermarket keys to Android lock-screen bypass
