IAM compliance is the practice of demonstrating that identity and access controls are not only documented but actually enforced across users, applications, infrastructure, and non-human identities. This guide explains what IAM compliance requires, which regulations matter, and how organizations move from periodic access reviews toward continuous, evidence-backed verification that auditors can
Hackers began targeting a critical Adobe Commerce flaw that could let unauthenticated attackers hijack customer accounts and access private data. Hackers began targeting CVE-2026-71362 (CVSS score of 9.1), a critical Adobe Commerce flaw, shortly after its public disclosure. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to switch customer sessions, hijack accounts and access private data. Cybersecurity firm Sansec blocked the first exploitation attempts after Adobe published its advisory. The flaw affects Commerce, Commerce B2B and Magento Open Source versions through the July 2026 patches. Adobe released an isolated fix and urged users to patch. “Adobe has released APSB26-92 as isolated patch files. The update fixes seven vulnerabilities, including an unauthenticated customer account takeover with a CVSS score of 9.1. Sansec Shield already blocks exploitation attempts.” reads the advisory published by Sansec. “Sansec reviewed the patch and confirmed that the vulnerability lets attackers switch a customer session to another customer account. This gives them access to the victim’s account and private customer data.” Sansec pointed out that an attacker can exploit the flaw without existing account, administrator privileges, or user interaction. Adobe fixed how Magento handles customer identity in account sessions. The remaining flaws include stored cross-site scripting and authorization issues.

Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor disclosed a data breach affecting nearly 14,000 of its customers after ShipMonk, its shipping and logistics provider, was hacked. During the incident, the attackers gained access to customers' order data, including their full names, shipping addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. As the company explained in a Thursday blog post, the resulting data breach affects customers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received orders between May 10th and August 8th, 2026. "On Monday, August 10, 2026, one of our shipping providers, ShipMonk, informed us of unauthorized access to their systems containing customer data," Trezor said. "The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email)."
A new Android NFC relay malware called WindRelay is being used alongside the SpyNote remote administration tool (RAT) to steal card data and send it to attackers in real time. In an incident investigated by the cybersecurity company Group-IB, a fraudster impersonated a bank employee and called the victim under the pretense of a problem with their payment card. During the call, the threat actor instructed the victim to sideload the SpyNote RAT disguised as a legitimate app and grant it Accessibility Service permissions, giving the attacker remote access to the Android device. To add credibility, the attacker personalized the malicious app label with the victim's name. After gaining remote access to the device through SpyNote, the attacker installed WindRelay without further interaction with the victim and used the banking app to take out a loan in the victim’s name.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a critical Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability, published by cybersecurity company Rapid7 on Tuesday, is already being used in attacks. Tracked as CVE-2026-55040, this authentication bypass security flaw in the JWT token validation pipeline can be exploited by attackers without privileges to perform operations as a SharePoint site user or administrator. Microsoft patched the vulnerability as part of the July 2026 Patch Tuesday updates, when it warned customers to patch systems running SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 and SharePoint Server 2019. "The authentication feature could be bypassed as this vulnerability allows impersonation," it said. "Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to disclose files and modify data, but the attacker cannot impact the availability of the system."
A newly disclosed flaw in the way OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google carried hidden AI reasoning between API calls let researchers recover internal reasoning and secrets from session logs, including API keys and passwords. The weakness affected encrypted reasoning objects used by the providers' reasoning APIs, where a block created in one session could be replayed into another and, during testing,
Google says Chrome's anti-abuse systems reduced unwanted notifications on Android by more than 7 billion per day during the first quarter of 2026. In a new blog post, Google argues that notification abuse has increasingly been used to distribute scams, malware, phishing attempts, and fraudulent payment requests. To reduce the abuse, Google developed a "Swiss cheese" defense model, where several overlapping systems try to stop abuse at different stages. "Our goal is to ensure that if abuse slips through one layer, another is there to catch it," Google explained. "This approach allows us to halt abuse at the source, preventing deceptive content from reaching users while maintaining a healthy balance between utility and security." Chrome already removes notification permissions from inactive websites, as well as sites that repeatedly trigger suspicious-notification warnings.
Global supply chain and distribution giant Wesco has confirmed in a statement to BleepingComputer that it is investigating a cybersecurity incident. The company's statement comes after data extortion group ExfilSquad claimed to have stolen sensitive information from Wesco and leaked it on their data leak site. Jennifer Sniderman, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Wesco, said that the incident involves the company's cloud CRM environment. “Wesco is aware of a claim of CRM data exfiltration by a third party,” Sniderman told BleepingComputer. “We have worked with our cloud CRM vendor on the matter, and we do not believe that there is a risk to sensitive data.” The company representative added that Wesco has not experienced any business disruption, and all operations continue as normal.
AI is making phishing, credential theft, and social engineering faster and more efficient, while traditional trust signals such as passwords, MFA, IP reputation, and geolocation become easier to bypass. Specops explains why organizations are increasingly adding device trust to their Zero Trust strategies. Security research like this is a reminder that visibility into endpoints, identity, and network traffic remains the foundation of any effective defense program. Beyond patching, organizations should inventory exposed services, disable unused functionality, and require multi-factor authentication wherever it can be deployed.
A seller claims to offer Israel’s 2026 population registry, but checks show the 9.2 million records are authentic data dating back to 2005. A vendor on a well-known leak forum claims to have breached Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority and is selling the entire national registry, 9.2 million records covering essentially the whole country. Ransomnews […] The reporting underscores the importance of treating third-party software and infrastructure as part of your own attack surface, since trust in a vendor is only as strong as the vendor’s own security posture. Beyond patching, organizations should inventory exposed services, disable unused functionality, and require multi-factor authentication wherever it can be deployed.
