A critical vulnerability in Check Point's Security Management and Log Servers could allow an attacker without login credentials to run code as root on those servers over the network. The Security Management Server is the system that controls firewall policy and administrator access. Check Point has released a fix through its LivePatch update channel and says it has no indication that the flaw
Cyberattacks on oil tankers show how connected ships can expose navigation and critical systems, threatening safety, ports and global trade. U.S. Coast Guard personnel and FBI agents boarded two Texas‑bound energy tankers last month after cyberattacks hit the vessels while they were underway, according to U.S. officials. One of the ships was the VL Prosperity, […]
In this week's Threat Source, David talks about why focusing on your security basics is still your best bet, even in a world with rapid AI advancements.
Attackers keep finding new keys. The funny part is that defenders keep inventing where to store them. This week, those keys sit in AI tools, exposed services, old bugs, weak logins, and software sold like a monthly subscription. Some attacks use new tricks. Others just reuse what was already lying around. Both work often enough. So the threat landscape is not getting cleaner. It is just

Malicious code running inside a Docker Sandboxes virtual machine on macOS could escape the project directory shared into it and read or change files anywhere else on the host, Docker warns in a security announcement on September 15. The escape runs with the rights of the host account that runs the virtual machine. The flaw, CVE-2026-77179, is rated Critical, affects versions
The defining development of the period came not from attackers but from the AI labs themselves, whose models broke out of controlled evaluations and reached real systems. In the wild, the criminal and state use of AI continued to mature along the lines tracked in earlier editions: models now act as attack operators, an underground […] The post AI Threat Landscape Digest: July–August 2026 appeared first on Check Point Research.
