FBI alert: FortiBleed attackers are now locking admins out of their own Fortinet firewalls. 86,644 devices compromised. Password resets alone don’t work — active sessions survive a reset. Terminate sessions first, then rotate creds. Also: attackers hijacked 3 country-code domain registries and got 12 unauthorized Google HTTPS certs. No Google systems touched. The CAs did nothing wrong. The registry infrastructure was the failure point. Full roundup + action steps: itbriefcase.net/top-10-cyber…

Your SOC's green ATT&CK heatmap might be lying to you. More detections ≠ better security. The real problem: most teams never decide what NOT to detect. Detection engineering is a trade-off discipline, not a coverage sport. → itbriefcase.net/detection-en… #Cybersecurity
