Attackers have been #exploiting critical #Zimbra flaw to steal emails
#Hackers have been exploiting a critical #vulnerability in the #ZimbraCollaborationSuite in an attempt to obtain email backups and authentication credentials of #vulnerable organzations, #Microsoft has warned.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-73570, lets attackers remotely issue operating system commands without #authentication. Zimbra maintainer Synacor issued a patch on July 20, but didn’t disclose the vulnerability for more than three weeks after that. The security-focused #Shadowserver Foundation said last week that its scans found that 274 separate instances of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite had been compromised. The number of #servers running the software has fluctuated from 19,000 in the week following the patch to about 12,000 in the weeks following that. Currently, Shadowserver is tracking about 10,000 instances.

#Hacks of 2 federal agencies in a month have spilled a bonanza of sensitive data
The #Pentagon is informing more than 2 million current & former military members that their personnel records storing sensitive personal info were stolen over a months long compromise of one of its networks. The #breach is the second one in recent months to expose sensitive gov information.
The records, according to one notification letter posted to Reddit, included #SocialSecurity numbers, names, addresses, sex, race, & occupational specialty. This last category could be particularly valuable to foreign adversaries because it could help their intelligence agencies in identifying high-value #military personnel. Starting last October, #hackers gained access to a system operated by the #DefenseManpowerDataCenter , which collates Dept of #Defense personnel records. The Pentagon says that the breach compromised the records of 2.8 million living individuals.

How Cities Are Forced to Funnel License Plate Data to a Massive Federal #Surveillance Program
The #Trump admin is using an anti-drug #trafficking grant program from the 1980s to force cities around the country to funnel their ongoing collection of automated license plate reader data into large federal surveillance centers that fall under the White House’s jurisdiction, according to public records & court documents reviewed by 404 Media.
The records show the workings of a complex system in which the federal gov is using the “High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area” (#HIDTA ) program to obtain data from local cops’ #Flock , #Axon , & other #ALPR #cameras & aggregate it on federal government servers, where it is then accessible to other federal, state, & local law enforcement agencies. In some cases, data that goes to HIDTA is then also shared to a larger program run by the #DEA called the “National #LicensePlate Reader Program” (#NLPRP ).
