Threat actors are actively exploiting a critical security flaw in Everest Forms Pro, a WordPress plugin with about 4,000 active installations, to execute arbitrary code, leading to a complete site compromise. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-3300 (CVSS score: 9.8), a remote code execution bug impacting all versions of the plugin up to, and including, 1.9.12. A patch for the flaw was

The threat actor known as PCPJack has hijacked cloud servers associated with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to create a covert SMTP email relay network. "Compromised business servers across the U.S., Europe, and Asia were quietly converted into SMTP proxies, verified for mail relay capability, and synced to a downstream consumer every five minutes," Hunt.io said in

It got stupid again. The internet still feels held together with tape. Bad plugins, old bugs, fake tools, trusted apps doing shady things. Same mess, new wrapper. And now the weird stuff is normal. Forums go down and come back worse. Cheap hackers get better toys. AI starts breaking real systems. Great. Read the whole thing before it ruins your week anyway. Unauthenticated

A new China-linked cybercrime group known as TA4922 has expanded its targeting focus to target European organizations in the U.K., Germany, Italy, and South Africa.
