Patches abound on this week's Technado! In our Rapid Fire segment, we kick things off with the UK ban on weak default passwords. Then, a warning from Okta on cred-stuffing attacks, and a critical bug in R that exposes orgs to supply chain risks. Collection agency FBCS got pwned this week, with millions of records being exposed - but in happier news, the Japanese police are starting a new effort to keep elderly citizens from falling prey to payment card scams.

The ArcaneDoor was a big story this week, as was yet anothrer WordPress plugin vulnerability - and in this week's D'oh! segment, the popular iSharing app was found to be sharing users locations (even when services were disabled). FInally, in our deep dive, we take a look at new Android banking malware Brokewell.

Cheats, breaches, and weaknesses abound on this week's Technado! Cybercriminals are threatening to leak millions of records from the World-Check database, and millions more were affected by this week's Frontier Communications broadband shutdown. In our biggest story of the week, MITRE got pwned by nation-state hackers via our old friends, the Ivanti zero-days. CrushFTP is dealing with a vuln that lets attackers download system files, and our Don't Make No Sense feature is a twofer: fake game cheats are being used to spread malware, and it all started with...Microsoft's GitHub repo?

Of course, it wouldn't be Technado without a deep dive, and this one's a doozy: a SafeBreach researcher uncovered FOUR CVEs by exploiting a long-standing issue that supports Windows backwards-compatibility.

This week on Technado, we start off strong with some breaking news: geospatial intelligence firm Space-Eyes has allegedly been breached by IntelBroker. From there, we cover TWO 10.0 command injection vulnerabilities - one affecting Windows, one affecting Palo Alto. Apple has issued warnings to more than 90 countries concerning Mercenary spyware attacks. We've got updates on the most recent Microsoft and AT&T breaches, as well as a new breach involving Sisense. And of course, we can't forget this week's Behind Bars subject: an ex-Amazon engineer who stole millions in cryptocurrency is facing prison time.

In our deep dive segment, it's a double whammy: we return to one of our Rapid Fire articles to get into the details of Palo Alto's 10.0 vulnerability. Then, we unpack Blackjack's newest venture, Fuxnet malware.
