Microsoft’s October Patch Tuesday: 1,411 CVEs, the third record in a row, and one zero-day already exploited.
Plus: a GitHub supply chain wave hit 500+ accounts, and ransomware set a monthly record.
This week’s top 10 security stories: itbriefcase.net/top-10-cyber…
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.

A hardcoded Cloudflare API key let attackers modify Brevo's JavaScript at the CDN edge and serve malware to 100,000+ websites for 5 hours. WordPress admins got silent backdoors. Visitors got fake Cloudflare prompts.
Also: Revolut gave customer passport copies to a fake government request. Gyazo lost 23.6M records and called it "maintenance."

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.
