    Panera Data Breach from Failed Extortion

    The Shiny Hunters failed to extort Panera in a data theft attack and leaked the data found. Thankfully the damage seems rather minimal as the information is, for the most part, not all that sensitive. Sources: https://pastebin.com/EXKcrrDL

    When Vibe Coding Your Ransomware Goes Wrong

    They say never to pay a ransomware, but this one you should especially never pay because you will definitely not get anything back if you do. As it turns out vibe coding can lead to mistakes that end up with threat actors losing the keys to their own ransomware. Sources: https://pastebin.com/VuSZpJKQ

    AI Slop Kills cURL Bug Bounty Program

    Bug bounty programs are a good way to practice your hacking skills while contributing to the greater good, but unfortunately some people want the rewards without having the skills, which have resulted in cURL being overwhelmed by completely nonsensical AI slop bug reports.

    WhisperPair Vulnerability Allows Eavesdropping on Your Calls

    Bluetooth is the standard these days for listening to audio but it presents some issues that wired doesn't, and I don't mean sound quality. Implementations of Bluetooth protocols can have vulnerabilities and when those hit it could mean you're being listened to. Sources: https://pastebin.com/Kq9TieQC

    $7 Million in Crypto Stolen from Trust Wallet Users

    The holiday season is a rather expensive time of year, not just with gift buying but with scams that take advantage of the season. One thing rather unexpected however, was a Christmas Eve update that drained the wallets of some TrustWallet users.   Sources: https://pastebin.com/NHqAjqzM

    The Return of Prince of Persia

    Most threat actors come and go with the times, not lasting more than a couple years. Prince of Persia was assumed to be one such group, but it turns out they not only returned but never left in the first place.   Sources: https://pastebin.com/9yJ1fxP3

    DroidLock Ransomware Targets Pirates

    Usually ransomware targets large entities, but as always no one is truly safe online. This specific malware targets individual android users sideloading apps from illegitimate sources. Sources: https://pastebin.com/3J3uAVHt
