Risky Bulletin: Ukraine's top prosecutor resigns amid scam call center scandal
Ukraine's top prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko resigned after NABU arrested a deputy for taking bribes protecting scam call centers running fake investment platforms.
Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau NABU arrested Serhiy Kropyva, Deputy Head of International Cooperation at the Prosecutor General's Office, alleging officials took monthly protection fees from a network of 100-500 scam call centers luring victims into fake investment platforms, with bribes reportedly growing from $700,000 to $3.5 million per month. Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned on Monday, calling it a political decision, while Kropyva was fired with bail set at 120 million hryvnias ($2.7 million) and over 100 call centers shut down in the past month. The newsletter also briefly covers a cyberattack crippling more than 80 Luxembourg medical practices via payment vendor BMS Engineering, ShinyHunters' claimed theft of 200,000 Florida DMV driver records, a cyberattack on the American Meteor Society, and school closures in Springfield, Massachusetts.

FBI raises alarm over deceptive phishing campaign targeting prominent people
The FBI warns of an ongoing OAuth consent phishing campaign granting attackers persistent access to high-profile victims' cloud accounts without passwords.
The FBI says attackers impersonate government officials, journalists and event coordinators on commercial messaging apps to trick prominent individuals, their families and acquaintances into authorizing malicious OAuth applications on Microsoft or Google cloud services. Once approved, attackers gain persistent access to emails, files and other sensitive data; the access survives password changes and bypasses MFA, and can only be revoked by invalidating the OAuth token in security settings. The campaign has been tracked since late 2025, and the FBI advises independently verifying senders and granting access only to trusted applications.
