Today’s threats highlight: exploit floods, mis‑trusted infrastructure, and phishing evolving into new channels.
🧠 1. Google Issues Security Fix for Actively Exploited Chrome Vulnerability
Google patched two critical V8 engine flaws (including CVE‑2025‑13223) already being exploited.
Why it matters: When the browser core is under attack, your entire endpoint fleet is vulnerable—from dev machines to exec laptops.
Question: When was the last time your org ran a browser‑baseline check across non‑IT assets (contractors, lab machines, kiosks)?
🛡️ 2. Fortinet Confirms Active Exploitation of Critical FortiWeb WAF Vulnerability
Specifically CVE‑2025‑64446 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute admin commands on the FortiWeb appliance.
Why it matters: A compromised WAF = attacker inside the network with filtering turned off, invisibility, persistence.
Probe: How quickly could you detect a WAF appliance doing admin operations you didn’t authorise?
🎯 3. New EVALUSION ClickFix Campaign Delivers Stealers + RATs
This campaign uses the ‘ClickFix’ social‑engineering methodology to drop the Amatera Stealer and NetSupport RAT.
Why it matters: Phishing is evolving fast — not just email links, but scripted user actions and malware packaged as utility fixes.
Takeaway: Even well‑trained users can be tricked if the path looks like “fix my system” and uses trusted tools.
👥 4. “5 Reasons Why Attackers Are Phishing Over LinkedIn”
This piece breaks down why professional networks (LinkedIn) are being targeted for phishing campaigns — 1 in 3 attacks now happen outside email.
Why it matters: Your social presence, even personal accounts tied to your professional life, can be pivot points.
Reflection: When did you last review the phishing exposure via your org’s social media + employee profiles?
🔍 Summary
Theme: Attackers are striking where you least expect — browser engines, WAFs, social/utility phishing.
Takeaway: Defense isn’t just about “patches” or “training” anymore — it’s about holistic vigilance: endpoints, infrastructure, social channels.
Action Step: Pick one: browser‑baseline refresh, WAF activity review, phishing simulation via non‑email, or social profile audit — and schedule it this week.
