🔒 The ICO analyzed 215 insider personal data breach reports from the UK education sector between January 2022 and August 2024 and found students were responsible for 57% of incidents. Around 30% of breaches involved stolen login credentials, with students accounting for 97% of those attacks by guessing weak passwords or using credentials found on paper. The report highlights cases where pupils used freely available tools to break into school systems and access or alter thousands of records. The ICO urges parents, schools and the wider industry to channel curiosity into legitimate cyber careers and strengthen basic protections.

🔒 Three French regional healthcare agencies (ARS) have reported similar cyber-attacks that exposed patients’ personal data held on regional systems. Preliminary investigations, announced on September 8, indicate attackers gained access by impersonating healthcare professionals and used those accounts to reach GRADeS-managed services such as Normand'e-Santé. Reported exposed PII includes full names, ages, phone numbers and email addresses, while the agencies say no clinical health records appear to have been compromised. Compromised accounts were disabled, additional protections deployed, potentially affected patients will be notified and incidents have been reported to CNIL.

🔒 LNER has disclosed that an unauthorized third party accessed customer contact details and historical journey information via a compromised third-party supplier. No bank, payment card or password information was affected, the operator said, but warned that the data could be used in follow-on attacks. Security professionals advised customers to be cautious of unsolicited communications and recommended organisations strengthen third‑party data controls and identity protections.

🔒 Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) confirmed that attackers stole "some data" during a recent cyberattack that forced system shutdowns and instructed staff not to report to work. The company disclosed the disruption on September 2 and says it is working with the U.K. National Cyber Security Centre and third‑party specialists to restart applications in a controlled manner. JLR has notified relevant regulators and said its forensic investigation is ongoing; it will contact individuals if their data is affected. No definitive attribution or confirmed ransomware claim has been announced.

🔒 A ransomware incident attributed to KillSec has disrupted MedicSolution, a Brazilian healthcare IT vendor, after attackers claimed to exfiltrate more than 34 GB comprising 94,818 files. Resecurity reports the haul includes medical evaluations, lab results, X‑rays and unredacted patient photos, and says data was exposed via misconfigured AWS cloud buckets. MedicSolution has not publicly responded; regulators and affected providers face notification and remediation challenges.

🔐 The SalesLoft acquisition of Drift exposed a hidden fourth‑party attack surface when legacy OAuth tokens—some dormant for 18 months—were abused to access customer Salesforce instances and a limited number of Google Workspace accounts. Attackers leveraged inherited tokens to enumerate and exfiltrate data, revealing how M&A can transfer persistent permissions outside visibility. The author calls for continuous, behavior‑based monitoring of every OAuth token and API call and recommends practical "OAuth archaeology" to inventory, rotate, or revoke legacy access.

🔒 Lovesac has informed customers that an unauthorized actor accessed its systems between February 12 and March 3, 2025, copying certain files after the company detected suspicious activity at the end of February. The intrusion aligns with a March claim by RansomHub, which said it had stolen roughly 40 GB of data; the ransomware group's extortion portal later went offline in April. Lovesac says it has found no confirmed misuse of the stolen information, but is notifying affected customers, offering 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring through Experian (enrollment required and open until November 28, 2025), and urging vigilance for signs of identity theft and fraud.

🔒 Recent Unit 42 analysis details ongoing data theft campaigns targeting Salesforce environments, notably a Salesloft Drift supply chain intrusion attributed to UNC6395 that may have started with reconnaissance as early as March 2025. Threat actors claiming links to Muddled Libra and Bling Libra have promoted stolen datasets on Telegram and announced new RaaS ambitions, while some channels were removed by September 5. Unit 42 emphasizes the prominence of social engineering by operatives tied to "The Com," predicts shifts toward data theft extortion and other monetization tactics, and recommends engagement with RH-ISAC, adoption of Salesforce mitigations, and use of Unit 42 incident insights to strengthen people and process defenses.

🔒 Kosovo national Liridon Masurica has pleaded guilty to operating the cybercrime marketplace BlackDB.cc, which the Justice Department says sold compromised accounts, server credentials, stolen credit cards, and PII since 2018. Masurica was arrested in Kosovo in December 2024, extradited to the United States in May 2025, and is detained following a court appearance in Tampa. He faces federal charges that include five counts of fraudulent use of unauthorized access devices and a conspiracy count, carrying up to 55 years in prison. The FBI coordinated the investigation with Kosovo law enforcement and international partners.

🔒 A cryptographic implementation error in Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk Activation Manager v5.00 can allow attackers to decrypt communications, enabling data exposure, session hijacking, or full communication compromise. The issue is tracked as CVE-2025-7970 with a CVSS v4 base score of 8.7 and is exploitable remotely with low attack complexity. Users should update to Version 5.02 or later and follow vendor security guidance.

🔒 Salesloft confirmed that a threat actor gained access to its GitHub account between March and June 2025, using that access to download repositories, add a guest user and create workflows. The attacker then moved into the Drift app environment, obtained OAuth tokens and used Drift integrations to access customers’ Salesforce instances and exfiltrate secrets. Affected customers include security vendors such as Tenable, Qualys, Palo Alto Networks, Cloudflare and Zscaler. Google Mandiant performed containment, rotated credentials and validated segmentation; the incident is now in forensic review.

🔒 A recent survey by SecurityScorecard found 71% of organizations experienced at least one material third‑party cybersecurity incident in the past year, with 5% reporting ten or more. Rising third‑party involvement — echoed in the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report — and sprawling supplier ecosystems expand attackers’ avenues. Experts warn SaaS platforms, open‑source packages, and CI/CD pipelines are increasingly exploited, often via abused OAuth, stolen credentials, or over‑permissioned integrations.

🔒 Plex reports an unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer authentication data, including email addresses, usernames, and securely hashed passwords. The company says it quickly contained the incident and that no payment card information was stored on its servers. Because Plex did not disclose the hashing algorithm used, it recommends users reset their passwords, enable two‑factor authentication, and use the “Sign out connected devices after password change” option to terminate active sessions. Plex reminded customers it will never request passwords or card details by email.

🔒 Lovesac reported a cybersecurity incident in which unauthorized actors accessed internal systems between February 12, 2025 and March 3, 2025, with the company detecting the activity on February 28, 2025. The notice to impacted individuals states that full names and additional personal information were stolen, although specific data elements and the total number of affected people were not disclosed. Lovesac says it remediated the intrusion within three days and currently has no indication the information has been misused, but it is advising vigilance for phishing and other fraud. The RansomHub ransomware group claimed responsibility and added Lovesac to its extortion portal; affected individuals are being offered 24 months of Experian credit monitoring.

🔒 Salesloft says attackers first breached its GitHub account in March, enabling the theft of Drift OAuth tokens later abused to access customer systems. The stolen tokens were used in widespread Salesforce data-theft operations disclosed in August, affecting multiple enterprise customers. Salesloft engaged Mandiant, rotated credentials, isolated Drift infrastructure, and restored integrations after validating containment.

🔒 Salesloft says the breach tied to its Drift application began after a threat actor compromised its GitHub account. Google-owned Mandiant traced the actor, tracked as UNC6395, accessing the account from March through June 2025 and downloading repository content, adding a guest user and establishing workflows. Attackers then accessed Drift's AWS environment and obtained OAuth tokens used to reach customer data via integrations, prompting Salesloft to isolate Drift infrastructure and take the application offline on September 5, 2025. Salesloft recommends revoking API keys for third-party apps integrated with Drift, and Salesforce has restored most Salesloft integrations while keeping Drift disabled pending further remediation.

🔒 Wealthsimple has confirmed a supply-chain related data breach that exposed information for roughly 30,000 customers after software from a third-party vendor was compromised on August 30.
