Acer is working to address two maximum-severity zero-day vulnerabilities affecting its Wave 7 mesh routers. [...]

Assume the breach. Zero-days keep shipping, AI is writing exploits faster than anyone patches, and "patch everything in time" stopped working years ago. Stop betting the org on winning that race. You don't control which bug lands. You control what it can reach once it does. That is a question about the shape of your network, and most teams have the shape wrong. HD Moore, creator of Metasploit

Deleted Google API Keys remain active for up to 23 minutes after deletion, exposing GCP, Gemini, BigQuery, and Maps data to attackers.

This week starts small. A token leaks. A bad package slips in. A login trick works. An old tool shows up again. At first, it feels like the usual mess. Then you see the pattern: attackers are not always breaking in. They are using the parts we already trust. That is what makes it worrying. The danger is in normal things now - updates, apps, cloud buttons, support chats, trusted accounts. AI

Cybersecurity researchers successfully demonstrated 47 unique zero-day exploits at Pwn2Own Berlin 2026, targeting major enterprise software and AI platforms.

It’s nasty , but it requires physical access to the computer: The exploit, named YellowKey, was published earlier this week by a researcher who goes by the alias Nightmare-Eclipse. It reliably bypasses default Windows 11 deployments of BitLocker, the full-volume encryption protection Microsoft provides to make disk contents off-limits to anyone without the decryption key, which is stored in a secured piece of hardware known as a trusted platform module (TPM). BitLocker is a mandatory protection for many organizations, including those that contract with governments. Slashdot thread . And here’s Nightmare-Eclipse’s GitHub account.
