🕵️‍♂️ Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 reports a state-sponsored threat actor tracked as TGR-STA-1030/UNC6619 has run global-scale "Shadow Campaigns," compromising at least 70 government and critical infrastructure organizations across 37 countries and conducting reconnaissance tied to 155 countries. The actor has been active since at least January 2024 and is assessed to operate from Asia. Initial access combined tailored phishing lures hosted on Mega.nz with exploitation of known flaws in SAP Solution Manager, Microsoft Exchange, D-Link, and Windows to deploy loaders such as Diaoyu. Victim environments were instrumented with Cobalt Strike, webshells, tunneling tools, and a bespoke Linux eBPF rootkit named ShadowGuard to hide activity and evade detection.

🔒 The Chief Trust Officer (CTrO) marks a shift from defending systems to safeguarding corporate credibility, responding to eroded customer confidence after breaches and AI concerns. Early adopters such as Atlassian, Salesforce and SAP and analyst research from Forrester show the role consolidates privacy, security, compliance and ethics. Unlike a traditional CISO, the CTrO focuses on reputation, transparency and customer trust while partnering with security teams to operationalize measurable signals of trust. Success depends on board visibility, leadership backing and demonstrable behavior change.

The vendor's latest patch adds a JVM-wide serial filter (jdk.serialFilter) to block dangerous classes and packages — a list curated with the ORL and recommended by security firm Onapsis — and complements an earlier remediation issued last month. Other critical fixes include a directory traversal in SAP Print Service (CVE-2025-42937, 9.8) and an unrestricted file upload in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (CVE-2025-42910, 9.0); administrators are urged to apply patches and mitigations immediately.

⚖️ The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into whether SAP engaged in anti-competitive conduct in aftermarket services for its on‑premise ERP software. The probe focuses on four practices: mandatory uniform support across products, blocking termination of unused licenses, extending non‑terminable initial support terms, and charging reinstatement fees equal to prior amounts. The Commission says these practices could limit competition from third‑party support providers and amount to unfair trading conditions. SAP says its policies follow industry standards and expects no significant financial impact.

🚀 Google Cloud and SAP announced tighter integration to unify enterprise data and accelerate intelligent automation. SAP Business Data Cloud now connects to BigQuery via Datasphere, enabling bidirectional replication and AI-ready analytics. Procurement is simplified on the Google Cloud Marketplace with SAP BTP.
