Data Broker Radaris Loses Domains in Privacy Fight

A New Jersey court ordered people-search broker Radaris to transfer radaris.com and a dozen related domains to Atlas Data Privacy over Daniel's Law violations.

On August 26, a New Jersey judge found Radaris failed to defend claims that it violated Daniel's Law, which protects law enforcement officials' personal data and imposes $1,000 fines per ignored removal request. The court ordered radaris.com and more than a dozen related broker domains transferred to plaintiff Atlas Data Privacy Corp. Radaris had delayed litigation using offshore shell entities and previously used a fictitious CEO named 'Gary Norden' in investor-facing press releases.

CISA and NIST Issue Guidance to Protect Cloud Identity Tokens

CISA and NIST published Interagency Report 8587 with voluntary guidance to harden cloud identity tokens against theft, forgery, and lateral movement.

CISA and NIST released NIST Interagency Report 8587 on September 15 with final voluntary guidance for federal agencies, cloud providers, and their customers on protecting SSO, federation, and API tokens. Requirements include one-hour maximum token lifetimes, 90-day signing key rotation for high-impact systems, hardware-backed key storage, explicit audience fields, and keeping tokens out of logs. The guidance was motivated by the 2020 ADFS compromise where forged SAML assertions bypassed MFA, and an incident where a leaked consumer signing key enabled token forgery and theft of 60,000+ emails from one agency. Nearly 250 public comments shaped the text, with input from Google, Microsoft, Okta, AWS, Oracle, IBM, HashiCorp, Wiz, and the OpenID Foundation via the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative.

House passes bill to equip local law enforcement with scam-fighting tools

The U.S. House passed the GUARD Act, letting local law enforcement use federal grants to investigate financial scams and trace stolen cryptocurrency.

The bipartisan GUARD Act (Reps. Zachary Nunn, Scott Fitzgerald, Josh Gottheimer) passed the House, allowing existing DOJ grant funds to be used for fraud analysts, victim-support training, blockchain tracing software, and financial-information sharing with law enforcement. It addresses scams like pig butchering, often run by transnational criminal groups overseas; Americans lost a record $11.4 billion to crypto-related fraud in 2025, including $8.6 billion in investment fraud. Senators Katie Britt and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced a Senate companion in July 2025, and the House also passed a bill retroactively eliminating the 'scam tax' on stolen funds for 2021-2025 victims.

Google Pixel phones pwned in zero-click attacks

CISA added actively exploited zero-click Pixel modem flaw CVE-2026-58704 to its KEV catalog, giving federal agencies three days to patch.

Google disclosed CVE-2026-58704, a high-severity improper authorization flaw in Pixel phones' cellular modems that bypasses permission checks and escalates privileges with no user interaction, noting limited, targeted exploitation. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog with a September 19 deadline for federal agencies. Such zero-click modem bugs are a frequent vector for commercial spyware. The Register also notes two recently KEV-listed Chromium V8 flaws, CVE-2026-85046 and CVE-2026-87491, which Proofpoint says four espionage groups chained in intrusions.

LinkedIn fights for the right to tell customers when the feds want their data

Microsoft's chief legal officer argues federal subpoenas for LinkedIn user data should carry narrower scope and that secrecy orders must become the exception.

Microsoft chief legal officer Jon Palmer said federal courts and Congress must curb overly broad US government subpoenas for LinkedIn user data that arrive with secrecy orders preventing customer notification. The company is asking courts to enforce meaningful limits on demand scope and secrecy, invoking Fourth and First Amendment arguments. Palmer cited House legislation passed August 31 to rein in secret surveillance, while LinkedIn simultaneously faces user privacy lawsuits, one dismissed with leave to amend by Judge Vince Chhabria.

Cisco warns of max severity ISE zero-day exploited in attacks

Cisco patched CVE-2026-76460, a maximum-severity authentication bypass in Identity Services Engine actively exploited in attacks; CISA added it to KEV with a three-day federal deadline.

CVE-2026-76460 is a maximum-severity authentication bypass in an API endpoint of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE-PIC, exploitable regardless of configuration, allowing attackers to access the web-based management interface. Cisco PSIRT confirmed active exploitation; no workarounds exist, and fixed releases are available for ISE 3.1 through 3.5, with re-imaging of suspect nodes recommended. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog and ordered federal agencies to patch within three days. Cisco also patched CVE-2026-76423 and five other critical ISE flaws (CVE-2026-20176, CVE-2026-20211, CVE-2026-20307, CVE-2026-20284) that are not yet flagged as exploited.

CISA decides weekly vulnerability bulletin isn't necessary anymore

CISA will discontinue its weekly vulnerability bulletin on September 28, pushing users toward KEV, alerts, and CVE data under risk-based prioritization.

CISA announced its weekly vulnerability bulletin will stop on Monday, September 28, as part of a shift from static CVSS severity scores to a modern, risk-based approach detailed in a June Binding Operational Directive. The directive prioritizes federal remediation based on exposure, exploitation evidence, control granted by exploitation, and whether exploitation can be automated. CISA directs bulletin subscribers to rely instead on its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, cybersecurity alerts and advisories, and the CVE catalog, requiring users to enable those subscriptions in GovDelivery or Granicus to avoid missing critical notices.

US takes down NightmareStresser DDoS-for-hire platformnew

FBI seized NightmareStresser, a DDoS-for-hire platform with 566,000 users and servers capable of 200 Gbps attacks, under Operation PowerOFF.

US law enforcement seized the nightmare-stresser[.]com and nightmarestresser[.]org domains used by the DDoS-for-hire service. Searchlight Cyber reported in 2023 that NightmareStresser had over 566,000 registered users and 52 dedicated servers launching attacks of up to 200 Gbps against Layer 4 and Layer 7 targets. The FBI said the service was used for hundreds of thousands of actual or attempted DDoS attacks since 2022. The action continues Operation PowerOFF, which began in December 2018 and previously took down DigitalStress, Dstat.cc and dozens of booter domains.

Cisco Warns of Active Exploitation of Critical ISE Flaw

Cisco warns that CVE-2026-76460 (CVSS 10.0) in Identity Services Engine is actively exploited, enabling unauthenticated root access; CISA added it to KEV.

Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-76460, a CVSS 10.0 flaw caused by insufficient control of an API endpoint in Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC, allowing crafted requests to bypass the web-based management interface and potentially obtain root command execution. Active exploitation is confirmed; patches are available and no workarounds exist, though infrastructure access control lists can restrict management traffic as an interim measure. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, requiring FCEB agencies to prioritize patching. Cisco urges checking access.log on every node, reimaging suspected compromised nodes, and reviewing external firewall logs for unexpected uploads.

America’s cyber strategy overlooks the infrastructure that actually keeps the military moving

Op-ed argues US cyber strategy underweights Iranian threats to ports, rail, utilities and other commercial infrastructure sustaining military operations.

The author, a former Navy intelligence officer, argues that a prolonged Iran conflict means sustained Iranian cyber operations targeting many smaller systems like water utilities, manufacturers and transportation providers. He cites mapping of 130 documented techniques across five Iranian threat groups and warns destructive attacks such as wipers and ransomware could hit the defense industrial base. The piece urges defensive wargames now and flags the pause in CMMC implementation as particularly concerning.

Hackers reveal how Flock cameras really track cars and people

Hackers tore down a Flock Safety camera, dumped its storage, recovered an encryption key, and revealed its software detects people as well as vehicles.

Hackers from a collective calling itself stegan0gram removed a Flock Safety camera from service, made a near-complete copy of its storage, and recovered an encryption key stored on the device that unlocked thousands of vehicle-detection videos, sharing the files with 404 Media, WIRED, and Distributed Denial of Secrets. Analysis of about 21 days of logs shows more than a million images, roughly 28 photos per passing vehicle, and Flock-built apps that detect people, bicycles, and even bumper stickers, while plate inference happens on Flock's servers. Flock had previously downplayed early-2025 root-access research by Jon Gaines, and records from Alpharetta, Georgia were searchable by over 2,000 agencies via Flock's national network.

Flock Once Touted Its Cameras as ‘Made in the USA.’ Now It’s Not So Clear

WIRED investigation finds Flock Safety stopped marketing cameras as Made in USA, with imports from Taiwan's Primax Electronics facilities in Thailand.

WIRED reviewed US import records showing Flock has increasingly imported commodity cameras and radar components from Primax Electronics in Thailand. Earlier marketing claimed cameras were manufactured in the United States, with assembly in Atlanta and later contract facilities run by East West Manufacturing and Plexus. Flock says its products are National Defense Authorization Act compliant amid activist backlash, local government pullouts, and possible congressional legislation on license plate readers.

Forgery of C2PA on a Pixel 10

Researcher forged a Google Pixel 10 C2PA content credential with genuine signatures, showing root-level attackers can fake photo provenance.

A Hacker Factor blog post demonstrates an AI-generated 'unicorn glitter milk' news photo carrying a valid, cryptographically signed C2PA manifest traceable to Google's Pixel camera certificate chain, passing validation in Adobe Inspect and the CAI Verify tool with a verified timestamp. The author, working with UMBC's PASAWG working group, reported to Google and C2PA in November 2025 that root access on a Pixel device could sign arbitrary images as camera captures; after 90 days without resolution, details were published. The finding undermines C2PA Assurance Level 2 claims made for Pixel 10 Content Credentials.
