Finland appeals court revives case against Eagle S Officers over cable breaks

Finnish appeals court ruled Finland can prosecute Eagle S officers for 2024 Baltic Sea cable breaks, reviving the case and EUR 105M damages claims.

The Helsinki Court of Appeal ruled Finland has jurisdiction to prosecute three senior officers of the Eagle S, the Russia-linked tanker that severed multiple subsea cables on December 25, 2024, overturning a district court dismissal. The court found the crew's conduct after Finnish authorities made contact was not a 'maritime accident' under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, noting the ship dragged its anchor roughly 90 kilometers and cut four more cables. Owners of the Estlink 2 power cable, Fingrid and Elering, are seeking about EUR 105 million ($122 million), and the ruling will guide the related Fitburg anchor-dragging case. The decision can be appealed to Finland's Supreme Court until October 26, 2026.

Wärtsilä FOS-Onboard

CISA advisory: two hardcoded cryptographic key flaws in Wärtsilä FOS-Onboard 5.07.0923.01 (CVSS 9.0/9.1) could allow unauthorized updates, code execution, and credential theft.

CISA advisory ICSA-26-258-02 discloses CVE-2026-78225 (CVSS 3.1 9.0 critical), a hardcoded cryptographic server key in the deployer-ng Update Controller of Wärtsilä FOS-Onboard 5.07.0923.01. CVE-2026-81855 (CVSS 3.1 9.1 critical) is a hardcoded client authentication key in the robot testing framework component. Successful exploitation could let an attacker deliver unauthorized updates, execute code, or extract credentials to impersonate a privileged client. The product is deployed worldwide in transportation systems critical infrastructure; Cydome Security reported the flaws and CISA states no known public exploitation exists.

Agents Gone Wild: An AI-Orchestrated Global Campaign Against PaperCut NG/MF

AI-orchestrated campaign exploited PaperCut NG/MF RCE (CVE-2026-81578/82078), compromising 440+ instances at 395 organizations in 48 countries.

GreyNoise tracked a likely Russian-speaking actor using AI (OpenAI Codex harness plus a DeepSeek model) to develop, test, and deploy exploits for PaperCut NG/MF (CVE-2026-81578, CVE-2026-82078) starting 31 August 2026. The actor compromised at least 440 PaperCut instances across 395 organizations in 48 countries, achieving domain admin at 12 victims — fastest time to domain admin was five minutes and a US high school was fully compromised in seven minutes. Attack paths involved LSASS memory and registry secret harvesting, pass-the-hash to domain controllers, noPac attacks, account additions to Domain Admins, and DCSync to exfiltrate full NTDS.DIT credential dumps. Impact scope suggests access development potentially for handoff, with prior PaperCut intrusions historically leading to extortion.
