Pokémon Center is notifying customers in the United Kingdom and Germany that it suffered a third-party data breach after hackers stole customer personal and order information from third-party logistics provider CEVA Logistics. While CEVA's systems were compromised in the cyberattack, the exposed records belonged to Pokémon Center customers who submitted orders on the site. The company then shared this information with the logistics provider to fulfill and ship PokemonCenter.com orders. CEVA Logistics is a subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group, the world's third-largest shipping company. The logistics provider operates 1,000 warehouses, handled 15 million shipments last year, and reported $18.3 billion in revenue in 2025. The company recently suffered a cyberattack in which attackers breached its servers between July 29 and August 1, affecting multiple retailers in Europe.
The French Ministry of the Economy and Finance has disclosed a data breach after an attacker accessed the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) systems and stole data belonging to 678,000 individuals. This incident was discovered after a threat actor using the "ZeroBytes" handle claimed the attack and listed a stolen database for sale on August 12 on the PwnForums hacking forum. "The in-depth investigations conducted since August 12, 2026, have established that, prior to their interruption, these access points had been used to consult and extract data concerning a total of 678,000 individuals and professionals, including tax data such as reference tax income, family quotient, and withholding tax rate, and, for businesses, data such as their company name and SIREN number," the French Finance Ministry said.
On Friday, Microsoft confirmed it has begun working on a security patch for a Defender zero-day vulnerability named "ShieldBreak." A security researcher who uses the "Nightmare Eclipse" handle disclosed this privilege escalation vulnerability after Microsoft released the August 2026 Patch Tuesday security updates. "Microsoft is aware of the reported vulnerability and is actively investigating the validity and potential applicability of these claims," a Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer when asked for a statement regarding the new ShieldBreak zero-day. "Microsoft is committed to investigating security issues and updating impacted products to protect customers as soon as possible." Nightmare Eclipse described ShieldBreak as a bypass for RoguePlanet, another Defender privilege escalation flaw disclosed in June, and shared a ShieldBreak proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit that local attackers with limited permissions can use to gain SYSTEM privileges on fully patched Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems.
Cybersecurity researchers at Wiz have disclosed a new GitHub Actions workflow injection vulnerability in Snowflake's public snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net repository that it said could be exploited through a crafted GitHub issue to execute commands in a workflow containing internal Jira credentials. The issue was present in .github/workflows/jira_issue.yml, which ran when a
Cybersecurity researchers have traced the continued evolution of the Cavern (aka Cav3rn) command-and-control (C2) framework used by Iranian nation-state hackers in attacks targeting entities in Israel. Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky said its ongoing monitoring of the threat activity cluster since December 2025 has led to the discovery of previously unreported components that expand the
The expensive attacks are not always the clever ones. This week had plenty of proof. Exposed services got hit, old bugs found fresh use, browser sessions became attack paths, and supply-chain problems kept spreading farther than the original compromise. A lot of it came down to access that was already there and defenses that assumed nobody would look too closely. So, nothing magical. Just a
MCP servers can expose enterprise secrets through plaintext configuration files, over-permissioned access and prompt injection, often before security teams even know the server is running. As more organizations adopt AI agents into their systems, that exposure can silently become a major gap in MCP server security. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows AI agents to reach the tools and data,
Security researchers at SSD Secure Disclosure have published a two-stage exploit chain that achieves full Android kernel access on devices running Unisoc modem firmware through a VoLTE video call, with no fix from the chipset maker. The advisory, published August 17, 2026, is the second stage of a chain that began in March 2026, when SSD disclosed remote code execution in the
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a previously undocumented Linux botnet family dubbed Evooo1Bot that derives its core functionality from the Mirai botnet source code and is equipped to turn internet-facing devices into SOCKS proxies. "While the malware reuses the DDoS engine from the publicly leaked Mirai source code, it extends the original framework with numerous capabilities, including
Cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider SafePal is warning of a data breach affecting about 39,798 customers after a flaw was exploited to steal customer order information, and a threat actor is now claiming to be selling the stolen data. SafePal says the breach impacts customers who placed orders between March 2, 2025, and April 11, 2026, exposing their names, email addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and purchase information. The company says the breach did not expose customers' wallet seed phrases, private keys, passwords, bank account information, payment card numbers, government-issued identification numbers, or other credentials. "No evidence has been found that the incident itself compromised access to SafePal wallets or funds," SafePal said in a security advisory published Sunday.
