International Meteor Organization says cyberattack dealt ‘critical blow’ to website

A cyberattack forced the International Meteor Organization's website offline, with weeks of partial downtime expected during an infrastructure migration.

The Belgium-based International Meteor Organization (IMO), founded in 1988 to coordinate meteor observation standards and maintain a global fireball database, said a cyberattack took much of its aging infrastructure offline. The site now shows a static notice, and the organization expects several weeks of partial downtime while transitioning to new infrastructure, with the fireball reporting system prioritized and already restored. No hacking group has claimed responsibility. The incident follows 2023 attacks on the NOIRLab astronomy facility in Hawaii and the ALMA observatory in Chile, plus ransomware at the American Meteorological Society.

New hardware device can RAM into encrypted memory, expose your data

Researchers built a $200 DDR5 interposer that silently drops memory writes to break TDX, SGX, and SEV-SNP confidential VM integrity, requiring physical access.

Researchers from KU Leuven, ETH Zurich, Durham University, and Google demonstrated DDRop, a hardware interposer costing under $200 that corrupts DDR5 bus commands to silently drop writes to encrypted memory, enabling replay attacks on confidential VMs. Because scalable memory encryption lacks freshness checks, protected VMs keep computing on stale attacker-selected data; on an Intel TDX server the attack forces debug mode for plaintext memory reads or forges attestation reports, succeeding in under two minutes without crashing. Intel and AMD both called the attack out of scope for their cloud threat models, with no mitigation planned, and proposed cache line versioning appears still vulnerable. The full interposer design is being released as open-source hardware.

Webinar: How malicious OAuth apps can lead to Google Workspace breaches

BleepingComputer webinar will dissect two Google Workspace breaches caused by malicious OAuth apps and social engineering, hosted September 23 with Material Security.

On September 23, 2026, BleepingComputer will host a webinar with Material Security examining two real attacks that used malicious OAuth applications and social engineering to breach Google Workspace environments. Rather than stealing credentials, attackers persuaded users to authorize malicious apps, gaining access to data through the granted permissions. The session covers first-hour response decisions and which security controls provide the greatest value for fast-growing organizations.
