CIRCIA Final Rule Expected May 2026: What Critical Infrastructure Operators Must Do Now
CISA is expected to publish the long-awaited CIRCIA final rule in May 2026, mandating 72-hour cyber incident reporting and 24-hour ransomware payment reporting for critical infrastructure sectors. With weeks remaining, organisations that have not started preparing face significant compliance and legal exposure when the rule takes effect.
CISA Supplemental Direction ED 26-03: How to Hunt for Compromise in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN
CISA has issued supplemental hunt-and-hardening guidance for Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN systems under Emergency Directive 26-03, providing defenders with specific indicators to look for in environments exposed to CVE-2026-20127 — a CVSS 10.0 authentication bypass exploited since 2023. Organisations running Cisco SD-WAN infrastructure should treat this guidance as a mandatory compromise assessment checklist.
NSA's January 2027 PQC Deadline Is Nine Months Away — Enterprise Migration Is Now Mandatory
With NIST's post-quantum cryptography standards finalised and the NSA's CNSA 2.0 deadline requiring all new National Security System acquisitions to be quantum-resistant by January 2027, the migration window for enterprise and federal contractor environments is closing fast. Most organisations have yet to inventory their cryptographic assets, let alone begin migration.
World Leaks Exposes 7.7TB of LAPD Records After City Attorney's Discovery Tool Breach
Extortion group World Leaks has published more than 337,000 sensitive LAPD files — including officer personnel records, Internal Affairs investigations, and witness medical information — after breaching a third-party legal discovery transfer tool used by the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. The incident illustrates how legal and compliance workflows that touch sensitive data are increasingly targeted as a softer entry point than agency systems themselves.
DPRK-Linked Hackers Steal $285 Million from Drift Protocol in Six-Month Social Engineering Operation
North Korean threat actors attributed to UNC4736 (Citrine Sleet/AppleJeus) stole $285 million from Solana-based Drift Protocol after a six-month infiltration campaign combining social engineering of multisig signers with a novel durable nonce pre-signing technique. The incident reveals social engineering tactics directly transferable to enterprise environments.
Fortinet FortiClient EMS Zero-Day CVE-2026-35616 Actively Exploited — Apply Emergency Hotfix Now
A critical pre-authentication API bypass in Fortinet FortiClient EMS (CVSS 9.1) is being actively exploited in the wild, with CISA adding the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 6 April. Organisations running FortiClient EMS 7.4.5 or 7.4.6 must apply the emergency hotfix immediately — FCEB agencies faced a remediation deadline of 9 April.
