Surfshark Systems Targeted by Hackers
Surfshark discloses hackers accessed a misconfigured internal test server; no user data or VPN services affected.
Surfshark discovered on August 31 that a threat actor accessed an internal test server exposed to the internet through misconfiguration, obtaining some system binaries and internal configurations. Build-related credentials committed to code history were rotated, and an isolated content optimization VPS was also accessed, though no user data, encryption keys, or browsing activity were exposed. The company contained the system, rotated credentials, and announced an independent security audit.

ShinyHunters claims Florida DMV breach, puts data on the clock
ShinyHunters claims it breached Florida DMV's DAVID database, stole 200,000+ driver records including SSNs, and set a September 11 extortion deadline.
The ShinyHunters extortion group claims it breached the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' DAVID driver and vehicle database and stole more than 200,000 records. As evidence it published a screenshot of a Jeffrey Epstein record showing address, Social Security number, date of birth, license number and registered vehicles, and set a September 11 deadline before publication. The group says it obtained access through a password-reset weakness, compromised employee accounts, and queried and downloaded driver records and images. The Florida DMV has not confirmed the claim; it follows a separate confirmed IDScan.net breach exposing over 153 million license scans that prompted an FBI investigation.

‘White hat’ hackers take $47 million bounty after $320 million crypto theft
Hackers withdrew $320 million in bitcoin from Liquid Network, negotiated on-chain, returned $266.5 million and kept a $47 million reward.
Purported white-hat hackers withdrew 4,000 BTC (about $320 million) from Liquid Network's own wallet, one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts of 2026. Over roughly 12 hours of public on-chain negotiation with operator Blockstream, the hackers returned $266.5 million in bitcoin and kept 598.5 BTC (about $47 million), claiming it as a reward for uncovering a bug. Blockstream deployed updated software and paused deposits and withdrawals while experts traced the flaw to the Elements sidechain framework. April thefts of $290 million from Kelp and $280 million from Drift, attributed to North Korean hackers, were previously 2026's largest.

Hackers Return $263 Million Stolen From Liquid Network
Hackers drain roughly 4,000 BTC (~$320M) from Liquid Network federation wallet, then return 3,400 BTC with ~598 BTC still outstanding.
Attackers withdrew about 4,000 Bitcoin (roughly $320 million) from the Liquid Network federation wallet, which held approximately 4,200 BTC, via the SideSwap Peg-out Authorization Key without that key being compromised. Blockstream disabled nodes and suspended transactions after disclosing the heist on Sunday. Alleged white-hat hackers returned 3,400 BTC (~$262.6M) on Monday, demanding the underlying bug be patched before releasing the remaining ~598 BTC (~$47M). The network remains paused while fixes and a safe restart are prepared.

Attackers Breached JetBrains Cadence via Unpatched TeamCity, Extracting AWS Credentials
Unknown attackers exploited critical TeamCity flaw CVE-2026-63077 to breach JetBrains Cadence, stealing a 2024 backup, user data, and AWS credentials; rotation urged.
JetBrains disclosed that threat actors exploited CVE-2026-63077 (CVSS 9.8), a TeamCity deserialization vulnerability added to CISA's KEV catalog on August 5, 2026, to breach its Cadence cloud computing service, with the intrusion running August 8-24, 2026. Confirmed access includes personal data (usernames, names, emails, login timestamps, IPs), a full 2024 Cadence server backup containing credentials and configuration, multiple AWS IAM users and secrets, files in JetBrains S3 buckets, and possibly PyCharm-synchronized source code. The compromised api.cadence.jetbrains.com server has been taken offline and all Cadence plugin access tokens invalidated. JetBrains urges users to immediately revoke or rotate all credentials used with Cadence and treat all executions, inputs, and outputs as potentially untrusted.

Malicious LiteLLM Releases Tied to Trivy Hack May Have Exposed 2,100+ Organizations
Malicious LiteLLM 1.82.7/1.82.8 PyPI releases tied to the Trivy TeamPCP campaign harvested cloud, SSH, and database credentials, potentially exposing 2,500+ organizations.
CloudSEK reported that two malicious LiteLLM releases on PyPI (versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8, live about 40 minutes on March 24) harvested cloud keys, SSH keys, Kubernetes tokens, and database passwords, with captured loot files mapping potential exposure to more than 2,500 organizations including NVIDIA, Cisco, Deloitte, Volkswagen, FedEx, Siemens, and X Corp. The campaign is part of TeamPCP (tracked by Google as UNC6780), linked to the Aqua Security Trivy scanner compromise tracked as CVE-2026-33634 and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on March 26. The payload used a litellm_init.pth file executed at Python interpreter startup and exfiltrated secrets to models.litellm[.]cloud; the FBI's FLASH-20260702-01 advisory urged rotation of CI/CD, publishing, and cloud credentials.

Mozilla Revokes Firefox and Thunderbird Linux Signing Key After Key Lands in Private Repo
Mozilla revoked the Firefox and Thunderbird Linux RPM signing subkey after an unencrypted copy landed in a private repo; no unauthorized access found.
Mozilla revoked the OpenPGP signing subkey (fingerprint 09BE ED63 F346 2A2D FFAB 3B87 5ECB 6497 C1A2 0256) used for Firefox and Thunderbird Linux downloads after an unencrypted copy was committed to one of its private repositories, citing reason code 2, 'key material has been compromised.' Audit records showed no sign of unauthorized access, and a replacement subkey (827E 6586 0867 9618 CD34 9F93 678E 455D 7676 7AA3) valid until August 5, 2028 was published. Users who verify signatures manually or install from Mozilla RPM packages may need to import the new key and remove the old one. The rotation came roughly seven months ahead of Mozilla's usual two-year subkey cycle.
