WorkComposer, an employee monitoring app, has leaked millions of screenshots through an unprotected AWS S3 bucket.

A whistleblower at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleged last week that denizens of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) siphoned gigabytes of data from the agency's sensitive case files in early March. The whistleblower said accounts created for DOGE at the NLRB downloaded three code repositories from GitHub. Further investigation into one of those code bundles shows it is remarkably similar to a program published in January 2025 by Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE employee who has worked at a number of Musk's companies.

A security architect with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleges that employees from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) transferred gigabytes of sensitive data from agency case files in early March, using short-lived accounts configured to leave few traces of network activity. The NLRB whistleblower said the unusual large data outflows coincided with multiple blocked login attempts from an Internet address in Russia that tried to use valid credentials for a newly-created DOGE user account.

## Summary [Amazon.IonDotnet (ion-dotnet)](https://github.com/amazon-ion/ion-dotnet) is a .NET library with an implementation of the [Ion data serialization format](https://amazon-ion.github.io/ion-docs/). An issue exists in Amazon.IonDotnet and the RawBinaryReader class where, under certain conditions, an actor could trigger an infinite loop condition. ## Impact When reading binary Ion data through Amazon.IonDotnet using the RawBinaryReader class, Amazon.IonDotnet does not check the number of bytes read from the underlying stream while deserializing the binary format. If the Ion data is malformed or truncated, this triggers an infinite loop condition that could potentially result in a denial of service. **Impacted versions: <=1.3.0** ## Patches This issue has been addressed in Amazon.IonDotnet version [1.3.1](https://github.com/amazon-ion/ion-dotnet/releases/tag/v1.3.1). We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorp...

### Summary The [AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)](https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/) is an open-source software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation. In the CDK, developers organize their applications into reusable components called "[constructs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/constructs.html)," which are organized into a hierarchical tree structure. One of the features of this framework is the ability to call "[Aspects](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/aspects.html)," which are mechanisms to set configuration options for all AWS Resources in a particular part of the hierarchy at once. Aspect execution happens in a specific order, and the last Aspect to execute controls the final values in the template. AWS CDK version [2.172.0](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/releases/tag/v2.172.0) introduced a new priority system for Aspects. Prior to this version, CDK would run Aspects based on hierarchical lo...

From crypto kingpins to sophisticated scammers, these are the lesser-known hacking groups that should be on your radar.

China-based purveyors of SMS phishing kits are enjoying remarkable success converting phished payment card data into mobile wallets from Apple and Google. Until recently, the so-called “Smishing Triad” mainly impersonated toll road operators and shipping companies. But experts say these groups are now directly targeting customers of international financial institutions, while dramatically expanding their cybercrime infrastructure and support staff.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a now-patched security flaw in the Amazon EC2 Simple Systems Manager (SSM) Agent that, if successfully exploited, could permit an attacker to achieve privilege escalation and code execution. The vulnerability could permit an attacker to create directories in unintended locations on the filesystem, execute arbitrary scripts with root privileges,
