Risky Bulletin: Russia tells data centers to deploy drone defenses
Russia ordered data center operators to deploy drone strike defenses under a Putin decree allowing temporary state takeover of unprotected critical infrastructure.
The Russian government instructed data center operators to deploy protections against drone strikes under a presidential decree signed by Putin that allows temporary state administration of critical infrastructure operators failing to defend against Ukrainian hacks and drone strikes. Although data centers are not formally critical infrastructure in Russia, the decree applies to them because other sectors depend heavily on cloud services; Russia has more than 180 data centers, over 80% in the European region within range of Ukrainian strikes. The digest also reports a Dropbox breach affecting nearly 5,000 accounts via the Lenovo ID integration, spyware attacks on at least 14 Serbians using NoviSpy or Pegasus, and a password recovery attack targeting hundreds of thousands of X accounts tied to the new X Money service. Other items include a 14-hour compromise of Coder's Cloudflare infrastructure delivering malicious Terraform modules, donor data breaches at Davayte and You Are Not Alone via the Stripe/WooCommerce integration, a $2.5M Aquifer crypto heist, and a TVING breach exposing data of almost 40 million accounts.

European parliament members call for slowdown of Serbia’s EU entry over spyware use
29 MEPs urge delaying Serbia's EU accession after researchers found Pegasus and NoviSpy spyware on student activists' phones.
Twenty-nine Members of the European Parliament sent a letter Friday demanding Serbia's EU accession be slowed until an investigation into its spyware use is completed. The letter follows a SHARE Foundation report, with Amnesty International and the Citizen Lab, documenting Pegasus and NoviSpy infections on Serbian student activists' phones; NoviSpy evidence pointed to Serbian government authorities, though Pegasus attribution was not assigned. The MEPs also urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to cancel a planned visit to Serbia and called the surveillance 'a direct state attack on democracy' ahead of upcoming elections. The Serbian government did not respond to requests for comment.
