As I keep up with the latest in cybersecurity, today’s focus is on some of the most recognizable names in the industry—GitLab, Fortinet, AWS, DocuSign, and more. When you see well-known platforms facing vulnerabilities, it’s a reminder that no one is untouchable in cybersecurity. Mitigation is key, and staying informed is half the battle.
🛠 GitLab: Patch Now or Pay Later
GitLab has released critical security patches for CVE-2025-0475 and CVE-2025-0555, both of which can allow attackers to bypass security controls and manipulate repositories. If your organization is using GitLab, this is not the kind of update you want to delay.

🚨 Fortinet: Another Exploit Hits the Wild
Just when organizations catch up on patching Fortinet, another zero-day emerges. A newly discovered exploit is actively targeting Fortinet devices, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access and execute malicious code. Fortinet users should check for urgent security patches and review network configurations to limit exposure.
⚠️ AWS: Misconfigurations Continue to Be a Gold Mine for Hackers
AWS remains one of the most targeted cloud platforms, and misconfigured cloud assets are low-hanging fruit for cybercriminals. A new phishing campaign, JavaGhost, has been spotted trying to steal AWS credentials via social engineering. These kinds of attacks exploit human error, not just system vulnerabilities.

📩 Phishing 2.0: Weaponizing DocuSign, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams
Phishing tactics are getting more sophisticated, and today’s headlines make that clear:
✅ DocuSign API is being used to send fraudulent PayPal invoices—a convincing ruse that could fool even trained professionals.
✅ SharePoint document-sharing is being weaponized to sneak malware into unsuspecting inboxes.
✅ Microsoft Teams is now a vector for ransomware delivery, proving that even internal tools aren’t immune.

🎯 The Takeaway: Cyber Resilience Means Constant Adaptation
If today’s security updates teach us anything, it’s that the landscape never stops shifting. Attackers evolve tactics daily, and if you’re not adjusting, you’re already falling behind. Here’s what to keep in mind:
🔹 Patch quickly – Delayed updates are a direct invite for attackers.
🔹 Review access controls – Phishing isn’t just an inbox problem anymore.
🔹 Assume compromise – Audit cloud configurations before someone else does.
🔹 Train users – The best firewall is still an educated workforce.
With AI-driven phishing, exploits targeting cloud misconfigurations, and well-known brands being leveraged in attacks, zero trust isn’t paranoia—it’s the baseline.
Stay aware, stay resilient, and if you’re using any of these platforms, take action now before attackers do it for you.
