Sep 03, 2025
Data Breach / Threat Intelligence
Salesloft announced on Tuesday the temporary suspension of Drift, slated to occur “in the very near future,” due to an extensive supply chain attack impacting multiple companies. This breach has led to the widespread theft of authentication tokens linked to the marketing software-as-a-service platform. The company stated, “This action will allow us to thoroughly review the application and enhance its resilience and security before restoring full functionality.” Consequently, the Drift chatbot on customer websites will be offline, and Drift itself will not be accessible. Salesloft emphasized its commitment to preserving the integrity and security of its systems and customers’ data, collaborating with cybersecurity partners Mandiant and Coalition as part of their incident response strategy. This announcement follows a disclosure from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) and Mandiant regarding the ongoing threats.

Unresolved Remote Hacking Vulnerability Found in Fortinet’s FortiWeb WAF
Aug 18, 2021
Recent revelations highlight a serious, unpatched security flaw in Fortinet’s web application firewall (WAF) that could enable a remote authenticated attacker to execute harmful commands on the system. According to cybersecurity firm Rapid7, an OS command injection vulnerability in FortiWeb’s management interface (versions 6.3.11 and earlier) allows this exploitation through the SAML server configuration page. This issue is linked to CVE-2021-22123, which was noted in advisory FG-IR-20-120. Rapid7 identified and reported the vulnerability in June 2021, and Fortinet plans to release a fix in late August with FortiWeb version 6.4.1. While this command injection flaw has not yet been assigned a CVE identifier, it carries a severity rating of 8.7 on the CVSS scoring system. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands.

Warning: A new scam is circulating through Twitter direct messages (DMs) and deceptive emails, directing users to a phishing site at “twittler.com.” This scam utilizes compromised Twitter accounts to send seemingly legitimate messages. Security expert Janne Ahlberg highlights the danger, stating, “This is a particularly insidious tactic, especially when the sender is someone you know and trust. If you receive a suspicious DM or email from a familiar contact, alert them – their account has likely been hijacked by attackers.”
The fraudulent webpage mimics the Twitter login screen and attempts to capture your login credentials, using a domain name that closely resembles the official Twitter.com, with the addition of “LL.”
To stay safe, always verify your browser’s address bar to ensure you are on the legitimate Twitter site at twitter.com before entering your login information. If you input your Twitter username…

CISA Includes TP-Link and WhatsApp Vulnerabilities in KEV Catalog Due to Ongoing Exploitation
September 3, 2025
Vulnerability / Mobile Security
On Tuesday, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a critical vulnerability affecting TP-Link TL-WA855RE Wi-Fi Extender products to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing signs of active exploitation. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2020-24363 (CVSS score: 8.8), involves a missing authentication flaw that can be exploited to gain elevated access to the device. CISA noted that “this vulnerability could enable an unauthenticated attacker on the same network to send a TDDP_RESET POST request for a factory reset and reboot,” allowing them to establish incorrect access control by setting a new administrative password. According to malwrforensics, the issue has been addressed in firmware version TL-WA855RE(EU)_V5_200731. However, it’s important to mention that this product has reached end-of-life (EoL) status, making future patches or updates unlikely. Users of the Wi-Fi range extender are therefore advised to take caution.

A significant security flaw in older versions of BlackBerry’s QNX Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) poses a risk of enabling malicious actors to take control of various devices, including cars and medical equipment. This issue, identified as CVE-2021-22156 with a CVSS score of 9.0, is part of a larger series of vulnerabilities dubbed BadAlloc that was first revealed by Microsoft in April 2021. The flaw could potentially serve as a backdoor for attackers, allowing them to disrupt operations or commandeer devices. According to a bulletin from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), “A remote attacker could exploit CVE-2021-22156 to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute arbitrary code on affected devices.” As of now, there are no indications that this vulnerability has been actively exploited. BlackBerry QNX technology serves over 195 million vehicles and embedded systems globally.

The passport control system at Istanbul Ataturk Airport’s international departure terminal experienced a cyber attack on Friday, impacting operations at another airport in the city. Passengers faced lengthy delays, with many waiting hours as flight departures were postponed due to the system shutdown at both locations. Authorities were able to restore functionality after some time.
Reports indicated that the passport control system at Sabiha Gokcen International Airport was also affected by issues stemming from the Polnet data system managed by the Istanbul provincial security directorate. Preliminary investigations suggest the systems may have been compromised by malware, though authorities are still determining whether any user information was extracted from the affected machines.
As of now, there has been no claim of responsibility for the cyber attack. This incident is part of a worrying trend of malware attacks targeting critical infrastructure. Cybersecurity has become an increasingly critical concern in recent years.

Cloudflare Successfully Thwarts Unprecedented 11.5 Tbps DDoS Attack
Cloudflare announced on Tuesday that it effectively mitigated a record-breaking volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that peaked at 11.5 terabits per second (Tbps). In a recent post on X, the web infrastructure and security provider revealed, “In recent weeks, we’ve autonomously blocked numerous hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks, with the largest reaching peaks of 5.1 Bbps and 11.5 Tbps.” The attack, primarily a UDP flood originating from Google Cloud, lasted only about 35 seconds, highlighting the company’s robust defense mechanisms at work. Volumetric DDoS attacks aim to overwhelm a target with excessive traffic, causing server slowdowns or failures, often resulting in network congestion, packet loss, and service disruptions. Typically, these attacks are executed using botnets controlled by threat actors.
