Ivanti and Fortinet have released security updates to resolve over a dozen vulnerabilities across their platforms, including several rated high severity. Ivanti Vulnerabilities Ivanti published an update for Workspace Control (IWC) to address three high-severity vulnerabilities-CVE-2025-5353, CVE-2025-22463, and CVE-2025-22455.

Other affected products include: FortiOS FortiClientEMS / FortiClient for Windows FortiPAM FortiSRA FortiSASE FortiPortal FortiProxy FortiWeb The medium-severity vulnerabilities could lead…

A newly disclosed breach has shaken the cybersecurity landscape: hackers have leaked a massive dataset containing over 86 million AT&T customer records, including decrypted Social Security Numbers (SSNs). Originally posted on a Russian cybercrime forum in May 2025 and reuploaded in early June, the dataset has now spread widely across threat actor channels. What's in the Leak?

Possible Connection to Previous AT&T Breaches While AT&T has previously suffered data breaches, including the 2024 Snowflake-related breach affecting 110 million users' call and text metadata, this incident appears different. That earlier breach reportedly did not include personally identifiable…
