Attackers remotely defrosted refrigerators at multiple French supermarket chains overnight in a cyberattack that reportedly targeted Danfoss refrigeration controllers. Victims include Intermarché, Coopérative U, Carrefour Market, Monoprix, Leclerc, and Super U, with French outlets reporting that the attack affected 250 to 350 stores, causing significant financial losses and food waste. The threat actors hijacked refrigeration controllers running older versions of Danfoss control software on Sunday night and used them to raise supermarket refrigerator temperatures by triggering a built-in automatic defrosting system. "Following a cyberattack reportedly affecting a service provider that manages refrigeration systems in stores, some fresh and frozen food display units are out of service," an Intermarché spokesperson told BleepingComputer when asked for more information on the incident. "Intermarché and Netto have taken all necessary precautions to remove the products from these units as quickly as possible. We don't have further information currently, nor a specific list of affected stores to share with you."
CyberLeek threatens to leak a playable GTA 6 build if its Solana meme coin hits a $30 million market cap, but the build remains unverified. CyberLeek, the anonymous figure behind this summer’s wave of GTA 6 leaks, just raised the stakes considerably. After dropping 25 minutes of gameplay footage earlier last week, including nudity and dev menu access, they’re now threatening to release a complete, playable build of the game, start to finish. “A GTA 6 leaker has reportedly threatened to put out a complete, playable build of the game, start to finish.” reads Eurogamer.net. “The threat was posted on CyberLeek’s website after the leaker shared 25 minutes of footage from the game earlier this week.” CyberLeek posted the threat on its own website. The demand is simple: if its cryptocurrency reaches a $30 million market value, the leaker will release the playable build of GTA 6, including the full story mode, from start to finish, with the ending credits. CyberLeek says Take-Two can avoid the leak only by providing physical copies of the game and issuing a public apology. This sounds more like a challenge than a serious negotiation. “Here’s the deal, nice and clean,” the leaker states. “CyberLeek hits 30 million marketcap, the build goes out — full story mode, played to the end, credits and all. Don’t believe it has full story mode? Ask for what you want to see, and it gets provided. Take-Two gets one way out: physical disks and a public apology. They can take it at any moment. Or they can gamble that CL is bluffing. Everyone knows which one they’ll pick.” This is not CyberLeek’s first leak. Rockstar previously said the situation was painful and that this was not how it wanted fans to see the game after years of waiting. Take-Two, Rockstar’s parent company, has been trying to identify the leaker and even sought a court order requiring Discord to share information about their identity. The company is actively trying to stop the leaks rather than waiting for the situation to pass. Take-Two, Rockstar’s parent company, has been actively hunting for the leaker and tried subpoenaing Discord for identifying information, so this isn’t a studio sitting back and hoping it blows over. The efforts to stop the leaks have not worked so far. CyberLeek went silent for a while, then returned with new footage showing Jason fully naked and Lucia topless. Eurogamer reported that the video appears to be real and carries CyberLeek’s usual watermark. CyberLeek did more than leak game footage. It also launched a Solana meme coin and uses the videos to promote it. Reports said the coin reached a market value of $25 million in late August, with more than $36 million in trading volume in a single day. Its value then fell sharply after Rockstar released official gameplay footage on Netflix and interest in the leaks declined. The new $30 million target is important because reaching it could trigger the release of a playable version of GTA 6 before the official launch. Whether CyberLeek genuinely has a full playable build worth leaking is still unverified. “The knowledge that a playable build of GTA 6 might be online has unsurprisingly encouraged hackers to lure curious users searching for it on unfamiliar websites.” states TechSpot. “Files labeled as the build have recently appeared on torrent websites, but these are certainly malicious. There is no evidence that CyberLeek or anyone else has, or even can, release an early version of the game.” Fake downloads claiming to be the leaked build have already started circulating on torrent and piracy sites, several reportedly carrying malware, so anyone tempted to go looking is more likely to get infected than to get an early copy of GTA 6. Take-Two has already lost close to $2.8 billion in market value over a 48 hour stretch tied to this leak saga, which tells you how seriously the market is taking the threat, even unverified. GTA 6 is still set for a November 19 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has commented on this latest ultimatum. Extortion tied to a crypto pump scheme is a genuinely new flavor of leak drama, and it probably won’t be the last time someone tries combining the two.

Some meetings last longer than it took attackers to jump on a newly disclosed security flaw this week. Within hours, they were already testing it. That's not much time to read the warning, let alone do something about it. But speed is only part of the problem. A secure connection didn't always mean a safe destination. People offering to fix a ransomware mess had questions to answer themselves.
Threat actors have been observed exploiting a recently disclosed critical security flaw in SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 appliances within days of public disclosure. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-102255 (CVSS score: 10.0), is a case of pre-authenticated server-side request forgery (SSRF) that could allow a remote attacker "to direct the appliance to issue requests on their
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a previously unseen variant of the DarkSword iOS exploit kit called P7 DarkSword. "Compared with the variants we usually observe, P7 reduces its on-device footprint, adds on-device keychain and crypto-wallet theft, and adds two way C2 communication with the attacker's infrastructure," iVerify said in a new report published Thursday. The name
Canadian cybersecurity executive Edward Dubrovsky has been arrested in Pennsylvania in connection with alleged extortion activity that multiple reports have linked to the FBI's ongoing crackdown on the ShinyHunters hacking group. Dubrovsky, 54, has had senior roles at cybersecurity firms that help data breach and ransomware victims negotiate extortion payments with cybercriminals. Yesterday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that agents had arrested "another suspected co-conspirator of the ShinyHunters group". The New York Times reported that the suspect was a Canadian citizen arrested in Pennsylvania and believed to be a primary co-conspirator in the recent ShinyHunters FBI Jobs hack. Last night, both Politico and KrebsOnSecurity reported that Dubrovsky was arrested in Pennsylvania, where he was attending a cybersecurity conference.
As enterprises race to deploy autonomous AI agents to accelerate business, a new report reveals they are tethered to security architectures built for a different era. The "Horizons of Identity Security" report from SailPoint highlights a critical “velocity paradox,” in which organizations invest in AI-speed business operations while continuing to rely on human-speed security controls, creating a
The crooks have trust problems of their own. One ransomware affiliate decided to keep the profits for himself. Elsewhere, an attacker left a server exposed, complete with tools and traces of an intrusion. Apparently, keeping things secure is a problem on both sides of the fence. The rest of the week isn't much more reassuring. Malicious code turned up in developer packages and extensions that
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a targeted campaign aimed at South Korean financial organizations that used an artificial intelligence (AI) pen testing tool named ARTEX to carry out the attacks. The activity, per CrowdStrike Intelligence, was active from late September to early October 2026, and resulted in data exfiltration from various South Korea-based financial firms,
Phishing kits are no longer limited to copying a familiar login page and waiting for a victim to enter credentials. Attackers are increasingly building filtering, session management, and traffic controls into the infrastructure that delivers the phishing page itself. ANY.RUN has identified Wazza, a new phishkit targeting banking, manufacturing, and government organizations across the US, Europe
