The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in Cybersecurity - Week 43 (2026)
Overview
A weekly cybersecurity roundup covers a U.S. prison sentence for tax-related spearphishing, Interpol's Africa crackdown, and detention of a former OpenAI engineer. It also describes a suspected China-linked group using agentic AI against ConnectWise Cloud Backup, plus emergency PHP patches for two critical remote code execution flaws exploited before disclosure.
Key facts
