Hot Take:

Oh TP-Link, why do you have to be the bad boy of routers? With CISA’s warnings, it looks like your network equipment is the cybersecurity equivalent of a love-hate relationship: unreliable, unpredictable, and prone to drama. Also, a message to Google: If Gmail were hacked, we’d all know because the internet would collectively implode. And as for the “astronaut scam,” let’s just say someone’s taking “reach for the stars” a bit too literally. Oh, and we all know that Texas is the land of cowboys, but it seems they’re now wrangling cybercriminals too!

Key Points:

– CISA warns of active attacks on TP-Link routers due to two critical vulnerabilities.
– Google denies any breach in Gmail security despite rumors and ShinyHunters’ claims.
– Western nations, led by the NSA, advocate for a software bill-of-materials for better cybersecurity.
– Texas sues PowerSchool for a ransomware attack that compromised 880,000 people’s data.
– An 80-year-old woman falls victim to a scammer posing as an astronaut needing money for oxygen.
