What happened
The RSS feed aggregates multiple NCSC advisories and blogs (Jul–Jun 2026) highlighting urgent nation-state targeting and defensive guidance. Immediate threats: Russian state actors exploiting poorly configured routers and a global campaign targeting Fortinet firewalls/VPN gateways; China-linked covert networks of compromised edge devices are also called out. Practical defensive guidance includes: patching affected appliances, reviewing and hardening router and VPN configurations, baseline and filter edge/VPN traffic, adopt dynamic threat feeds, prepare for a large wave of vulnerability patches
