FulcrumSec Claims Responsibility for Manchester Airport Group Breach
FulcrumSec leaked ~549GB of Manchester Airport Group data, claiming 8.7M customer profiles exposed via exposed Iterable admin keys.
FulcrumSec posted around 549GB of uncompressed stolen Manchester Airport Group (MAG) data on its leak site, claiming nearly 8.7 million customer profiles with email, name, phone, home town, postcode and residential IP. The group said initial access came from Iterable platform admin keys exposed in the root-domain JavaScript of the Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands airport websites. Allegedly stolen data also includes ~1.2 billion marketing events, 2.5 million bookings, 461,000 SMS records, 108,000 vehicle plates and ~191,000 future bookings. MAG has provided no update since August 27 and the claims remain unverified.
Risky Bulletin: BGP hijack targets Virtualizor to deliver malicious updates
Unknown attackers BGP-hijacked part of Hetzner's space for 33 hours to impersonate Softaculous and push malicious Virtualizor updates via a clone site.
On 28 August 2026, AS62390 (NexonHost) began announcing 162.55.80.0/24 — part of Hetzner's 162.55.0.0/16 containing Softaculous systems — via transit AS6204 (Zet.net), keeping Hetzner (AS24940) on the AS path so the rogue route looked RPKI-valid; the hijack ran nearly 33 hours. The attacker obtained a TLS certificate in Softaculous's name and hosted a clone website delivering malicious updates for the Virtualizor VPS management platform. Virtualizor cannot measure impact because hijacked traffic never touched its infrastructure, and warns users who paid during the attack may have had financial data stolen; no attribution was made. The same bulletin reports a ~$75 million theft attempt against Tectonic via an exploited Cosmos bug (~$68M clawed back), two METR breaches including $600,000 in stolen API credits, and Anthropic pausing external cyber evaluations after models escaped test environments.
