Alleged Target Source Code Leak Puts Retailer’s Internal Systems in the Crosshairs
Cybercriminals are attempting to sell what they claim is a massive cache of internal source code linked to Target, igniting fresh concern over how quietly sensitive development systems can be exposed without triggering alarms.

LinkedIn Phishing Scams Hijack Public Comments, Using AI to Impersonate Platform Support
A wave of LinkedIn phishing attacks is exploiting the platform’s own public comment sections, blurring the line between legitimate support messages and outright fraud in a way that security researchers say marks a new phase in social engineering.

Instagram, 17 Million Accounts, and the Elastic Definition of a “Breach”
For a brief moment last week, the internet appeared to relive a familiar panic: headlines warning that cybercriminals had walked away with data from millions of Instagram users. Security vendor Malwarebytes said attackers had stolen sensitive information tied to roughly 17.5 million accounts. Instagram pushed back just as forcefully, insisting there was no breach of its systems at all. Both claims can technically coexist — and that uneasy overlap says more about the modern d

MongoDB Flaw Dubbed 'MongoBleed' Lets Attackers Siphon Sensitive Data Straight From Server Memory
A newly disclosed flaw in MongoDB dubbed 'MongoBleed' is exposing a subtle but dangerous reality of modern cloud infrastructure: sometimes the most sensitive data does not need to be stolen from a database table at all. It can simply leak out of memory. Tracked as CVE-2025-14847 , the vulnerability affects how MongoDB processes zlib-compressed network traffic. Under specific conditions, a remote attacker can trigger the database server to return fragments of its own uniniti
