Nation-state hackers hijacked Notepad++ updates by exploiting infrastructure at the app’s hosting provider, redirecting update traffic to attacker-controlled servers, according to the project’s maintainers. The incident, first detected in June 2025, did not stem from any vulnerability in Notepad++ itself but from unauthorized access at the server level hosting the updates. Security experts found that […]
Hackers are launching automated attacks that have left thousands of MongoDB servers wiped after discovering them exposed on the public internet without authentication. Using simple scanning tools, threat actors identify databases running on port 27017, delete stored information, and leave behind ransom notes demanding payments of $500 to $600 in Bitcoin. Recent analyses reveal that […]
Cybersecurity experts at CERT Polska revealed a wave of targeted cyberattacks on a Polish manufacturing firm and energy sector sites, noting the cert polska attacks fail to impact power generation or heat distribution systems.
