It’s Monday again.
This week’s threat list looks painfully familiar: abused integrations, fake tools, poisoned websites, ransomware crews trying to shut down security tools, and mobile malware asking for way too much control.
The annoying part is how little of this feels new. Weak credentials, sketchy downloads, browser extensions with too much access, and WordPress sites are used to push more attacks. Nothing clever. Just sloppy, cheap, and effective.
Here’s the Monday recap. Let’s get into the week’s mess.
FortiBleed Campaign Identifies Over 80K Targets — A large-scale campaign codenamed FortiBleed has systematically targeted and compromised Fortinet FortiGate firewall and SSL VPN gateway devices worldwide. According to SOCRadar, it has been running since at least February 2026, with over 80,000 devices identified with working usernames and passwords that have been tested by suspected Russian-speaking threat actors using automated tools running around the clock. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) urged Fortinet customers with FortiGate appliances to take steps to secure against ongoing malicious activity aimed at thousands of internet-accessible devices. Fortinet also said the campaign likely involves the threat actors reusing credentials from previous incidents, such as CVE-2026-24858, CVE-2025-59718, and CVE-2025-59719, along with employing brute-force techniques against devices with weak password hygiene and no multi-factor authentication (MFA).
