From the Trenches
The Cisco FMC RCE (CVE-2026-20131) is the story that matters most today. Interlock ransomware was already exploiting it weeks before the patch dropped — that gap between discovery and disclosure is exactly the window threat actors live in. If you’re running Firewall Management Center and haven’t patched yet, treat it as a priority one.
The Iran/Israel camera network story is worth a slow read too. Iran built a nationwide surveillance infrastructure to monitor its own citizens, and Israel reportedly turned it into a targeting tool. It’s a real-world case study in how surveillance systems built for one purpose get repurposed in ways nobody planned for — relevant to anyone thinking about the downstream risks of mass data collection.
🔧 Patch Priority: Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center — CVE-2026-20131, critical RCE, actively exploited by Interlock ransomware group.
