Veradigm Confirms Patient Data Exposed in Third-Party Data Breach

Veradigm disclosed a third-party vendor breach exposing patient data including Social Security numbers via stolen vendor API credentials.

Veradigm filed an 8-K with the SEC on September 8, 2026, disclosing that attackers used credentials stolen from a third-party vendor to access a specific vendor-facing API and download patient personal data, including Social Security numbers for some individuals. No clinical or medical information was compromised, and Veradigm's internal infrastructure was not breached directly. The company activated incident response, notified law enforcement, and is offering credit monitoring to affected individuals.

12 Best Endpoint Encryption Software Compared (2026): Features & Pricing

2026 buying guide compares 12 endpoint encryption tools, framing paid products as management layers over free BitLocker and VeraCrypt engines.

An editorial comparison evaluates twelve endpoint encryption offerings, arguing that full-disk encryption itself is largely solved with free options like Microsoft BitLocker and open-source VeraCrypt. Paid products such as Sophos Central Device Encryption, Broadcom Symantec Endpoint Encryption, and Check Point Full Disk Encryption are positioned around management: central enforcement, recovery-key escrow, pre-boot authentication, and compliance evidence. The guide also warns against unmaintained tools like Rohos for business use and stresses operational concerns over cipher selection.

Top 10 Best Endpoint Encryption Software in 2026

A 2026 roundup of ten endpoint encryption products argues the engines are solved and buyers should choose management layers like Intune, Sophos, or Trellix.

The guide ranks ten endpoint encryption options, arguing BitLocker and FileVault have won the engine war so the real purchase decision is the management layer for compliance proof, key escrow, and cross-platform policy. Microsoft BitLocker with Intune is named the baseline for Windows estates, with Sophos, ESET, Trend Micro, Check Point, Trellix, and others covering mixed or regulated fleets. It also warns that TrueCrypt-lineage freeware is unmaintained and that Kaspersky cannot be sold to US customers.

Mass Scanning Targets Exposed Vite Servers to Steal AWS Keys and Azure Tokens

Attackers mass-scanned exposed Vite dev servers exploiting CVE-2026-39364 to read .env files and steal AWS keys and Azure tokens, per F5 Labs honeynet data.

Honeynet telemetry recorded 807 session-grouped attacks and roughly 32,000 raw events in August 2026 against exposed Vite development servers. CVE-2026-39364 (CVSS 7.5) is an unauthenticated file-read flaw in Vite 7.1.0 through 7.3.2 and 8.0.5 that bypasses server.fs.deny via query parameters like ?raw and ?import&raw to return files in plaintext. Attackers also probed older Vite flaws CVE-2025-30208, CVE-2025-31125, and CVE-2024-45811, and used wordlists to locate .env files, AWS credential files, Azure token stores, and Terraform state across Linux, container, and web paths. Exposed secrets could enable lateral movement or full cloud account takeover.

Technical analysis shows CVE-2026-34486 is a one-line fail-open regression in Tomcat Tribes enabling unauthenticated RCE via Java deserialization.

CVE-2026-34486 is a fail-open regression in Tomcat's Tribes EncryptInterceptor, introduced while fixing the CVE-2026-29146 padding-oracle flaw; Apache rated it Important and NVD scores it 7.5 High. Decryption failures are now forwarded to an unfiltered ObjectInputStream, and public PoC repositories demonstrate unauthenticated RCE on default port 4000 when clustering, the EncryptInterceptor, a reachable receiver and deserialization gadgets are all present. Affected releases 9.0.116, 10.1.53 and 11.0.20 are fixed in 9.0.117, 10.1.54 and 11.0.21; Tomcat 8.5 is unaffected.

Rare Not Random Using Token Efficiency for Secrets Scanning

Researcher proposes token efficiency (string length divided by BPE token count) as a better post-regex filter than entropy for secrets scanning, validated on CredData.

The post explores whether Byte-Pair Encoding tokenization can replace Shannon entropy as the primary filter for candidate secrets captured by regex in tools like Gitleaks. It defines 'token efficiency' as string length divided by token count under the cl100k_base tokenizer; secret-like strings such as GitHub tokens tokenize into many small tokens and score low, while natural text scores high. Evaluating labeled secrets from the CredData dataset shows a usable separation, with roughly 2.5 suggested as a minimum cutoff versus Gitleaks' 3.5 entropy threshold. The technique is positioned as a post-regex filtering step rather than a standalone detector.

Why Johnny Can't Encrypt: A Usability Evaluation of PGP 5.0 (1999)

Seminal 1999 USENIX study finds most novice users cannot correctly sign and encrypt email with PGP 5.0 in 90 minutes.

Whitten and Tygar's USENIX Security Symposium paper evaluates whether cryptography novices can use PGP 5.0 effectively, using cognitive walkthrough analysis and a laboratory user test. The majority of test participants failed to successfully sign and encrypt a message within 90 minutes, despite PGP 5.0 having a well-regarded graphical interface. The authors argue that security requires usability standards beyond those of general consumer software and propose domain-specific UI design principles for security. The paper is a foundational reference in usable security research.

JSCeal Hides Crypto Malware in V8 Bytecode

Check Point details JSCeal, a crypto-stealing malware delivered as compiled V8 bytecode, and built a decompiler pipeline to expose its capabilities.

JSCeal, tracked by Check Point Research since early 2025, is a cryptocurrency stealer delivered as heavily obfuscated JavaScript compiled to V8 bytecode (.jsc) and run by a bundled Node.js runtime. Check Point, presenting at Black Hat USA 2026, extended the open-source View8 decompiler into a pipeline that recovered readable code from 23 samples, revealing theft of browser credentials and cookies, Telegram sessions, keystrokes, screenshots, HTTPS traffic interception with attacker-controlled certificates, and automated Google account takeover. Targeted overrides rewrite content for Binance, Bybit, and Ledger users. Later samples added AES-256-CBC encryption with externally supplied keys and expanded targeting to macOS.
