Cyber (In)Securities – Issue 162 – Snapshot Edition

16 Billion Passwords Leaked, Qantas Targeted, and Active Exploits Disclosed

This edition covers a string of major cybersecurity developments shaking industries worldwide. A silent breach has exposed 16 billion passwords, triggering government advisories. Qantas confirmed it was contacted by a potential cybercriminal following a data breach affecting up to six million customers. SEO poisoning campaigns are actively targeting users with fake AI tools, while attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in Citrix, Linux, and exposed SSH services.

We also report on the abuse of red team tools like Shellter to deliver infostealers, the public release of CitrixBleed 2 exploits, and remote code execution threats in online games like Call of Duty. This issue provides critical insights for IT leaders, risk managers, and security teams navigating today’s high-stakes digital environment.

In addition to technical updates, we spotlight a new blog by Didier Annet that examines the human cost of cyberattacks. As organisations rebuild systems and patch vulnerabilities, the psychological toll on the people behind the response effort is often overlooked.

Also featured this week are updates and insights from members of the Cybersecurity Advisors Network across topics in governance, digital trust, cyber leadership, and privacy.
