Cyber (In)Securities – Issue 163 – Snapshot Edition

eSIM Surveillance Risks, North Korea’s IT Schemes, and Bluetooth Car Vulnerabilities

This week’s issue uncovers major threats impacting millions of users and critical infrastructure worldwide. From a six-year-old Java flaw exposing billions of eSIMs to surveillance, to North Korea’s covert IT worker operations resulting in fresh U.S. sanctions, the cybersecurity landscape is shifting fast.

We also cover active 2FA bypass attacks flagged by the FBI, Bluetooth vulnerabilities in Mercedes and Volkswagen vehicles, and growing concerns over how tech giants plan to recover their trillion-dollar AI investments.

Security researchers sound the alarm on silent GPS data leaks, burnout in cyber leadership roles, and infostealers as-a-service pushing identity-based attacks to new highs. Meanwhile, new tools and OS updates offer defenders fresh ways to stay ahead — including updates to Parrot OS, GitHub repos for AI agents, and smarter CLI tools for Linux users.
