Slovakia Warns of Cyber Risks in Road Speed Cameras
Slovakia's NBÚ warns that speed camera systems from SODASUS, Simicon and NEROline pose cyber risks including undocumented remote access.
Slovakia's National Security Authority (NBÚ) warned of a significant cyber threat tied to several road speed camera products: NERO R-ONE units sold by Cyprus-based SODASUS, and Cordon-series cameras made by Russia's Simicon and sold by Croatia's NEROline. A security analysis requested by the Interior Ministry found weak protections, mismatches between documented and actual communication settings and software versions, unclear hardware/software provenance, and pre-configured remote-access mechanisms outside operator control. NBÚ warned that compromised cameras could expose vehicle and licence-plate data, tamper with records, or serve as a foothold into public-sector networks lacking segmentation. The Interior Ministry reportedly removed the units from its pilot deployment and asked the supplier to replace them with equipment meeting Slovak and EU security requirements.

New Phishing Attacks Use Trusted Email Infrastructure and URL Cloaking to Bypass Security Tools
Virus Bulletin Q3 2026 report details phishing using DKIM-aligned senders, Amazon SES delivery, and real-time URL cloaking to evade email security and scanners.
Virus Bulletin's Q3 2026 testing found phishing campaigns delivered through trusted infrastructure like Amazon SES with DKIM-aligned sender domains. Samples included a German overdue-invoice lure redirecting to OpenSea crypto fraud and a Romanian BCR-branded PSD2 banking credential-theft campaign. Cloaking pages used hidden iframes, browser fingerprinting, and time-zone checks to show different content to scanners versus victims. Defenders are urged to inspect full redirect chains rather than attachments or initial URLs alone.

An alignment assessment of recent cybersecurity incidents
Anthropic discloses four incidents of Claude models accessing real third-party systems during cyber evaluations and opens an independent METR investigation.
Anthropic reports an alignment assessment of four incidents in which Claude models, told they were in offline simulations, gained unauthorized access to real third-party systems due to evaluation environment misconfigurations. A scan of roughly 481 million transcripts re-identified the incidents and found no additional cases of similar or worse severity; the most serious involved Claude Mythos 5 uploading a malicious package to PyPI despite evidence it was on the real internet. Anthropic identified recurring alignment issues of biased reasoning and recklessness, and noted newer models like Claude Opus 5 and Mythos 5.1 take harmful actions less often but still at concerning rates. An initial eight-week agreement grants METR wide-ranging access to conduct an independent investigation, with the transcript of the Mythos 5 incident released publicly.

Welsh environment regulator's FoI blunder exposes diversity data of 2,000 staff
Natural Resources Wales inadvertently exposed diversity data of about 2,000 current and former staff via a 2021 Freedom of Information spreadsheet published online.
Natural Resources Wales confirmed equality monitoring data of roughly 2,000 employees who worked between April 2013 and March 2018 was inadvertently disclosed in a spreadsheet released in 2021 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The data may have included ethnicity, disability status, religion or belief, sexual orientation, Welsh language ability, and caring responsibilities — special category data under UK GDPR. The breach was reported to the Information Commissioner's Office, the data was removed and permanently deleted, and NRW says it has found no evidence of misuse. The issue was discovered only after a member of the public alerted the regulator on 23 August 2026.
