Condé Nast Data of 32.8 Million Users Offered for Sale After WIRED Leak

A 32.8 million-record Conde Nast user database is offered for $15,000 on a Russian cybercrime forum, extending December's WIRED leak with millions of unseen records.

A database of 32,815,767 Conde Nast user records went on sale on 7 September 2026 for $15,000 on a Russian-language forum, containing names, addresses, birth dates and phone numbers but no passwords or payment data. Ransomnews verified a 5,000-record sample as genuine account data collected between September and late October 2025, with roughly 30.5 million non-WIRED records never previously published. The listing matches the December 2025 WIRED leak of 2,366,576 records, claimed by an actor called 'Lovely' who said 40+ million records were stolen via IDOR and broken access controls. Conde Nast has not confirmed the breach; exposed data enables credible targeted phishing and fraud.

Researcher Nightmare Eclipse released working zero-day PoCs for Avast, CrowdStrike Falcon, and Nvidia, prompting a Gen patch, CrowdStrike mitigation, and Nvidia investigation.

Security researcher Nightmare Eclipse released three zero-day exploits within a short window: PrettyPrague targeting the Avast sandbox for full system privileges (possibly affecting other GenDigital products including AVG and Norton), FalconFlank exploiting CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor's Office malicious macros remediation feature for privilege escalation, and GreenSection targeting an out-of-bounds memory write in a shared global memory section used by Nvidia user-mode components. GenDigital said it has fixed the Avast issue; CrowdStrike advised disabling the Microsoft Office File Suspicious Macro Removal policy setting; Nvidia said it is actively investigating the PoC. Kevin Beaumont reported that the Avast, CrowdStrike, and Kaspersky exploits work. The researcher previously released the HardBreacher privilege escalation zero-day in Kaspersky endpoint security, patched August 31.

Android 0-day Vulnerability on Google Pixel Devices Actively Exploited in Attacks

Google patched CVE-2026-58704, an actively exploited Android zero-day allowing proximal privilege escalation via the Pixel cellular modem, urging the 2026-09-05 patch.

Google confirmed CVE-2026-58704, a high-severity elevation-of-privilege flaw in the Pixel cellular modem, is being exploited in limited, targeted attacks and shipped emergency fixes in the September 2026 Pixel Update Bulletin.

Risky Bulletin: Slovakia finds Russian backdoor in traffic speed cameras

Slovakia's NBU found an SMS-triggered backdoor in Russian-made NERO R-ONE traffic cameras, pausing a 279-unit deployment.

Slovakia's national security service NBU issued an alert against NERO R-ONE high-speed traffic cameras after finding a backdoor that grants shell and network access via SMS from hardcoded Russian phone numbers. The cameras are a rebranded version of the Russian CORDON PRO.M model by St. Petersburg firm Semicon, purchased via a Cyprus shell company under a €30 million EU-funded project. The report also found SecureBoot disabled, vulnerable web management, and unauthenticated live streams; the Interior Ministry paused deployment of 279 cameras pending independent assessment.
