The credit union, which serves over 70,000 members, confirmed that an unauthorized third party accessed and downloaded sensitive files from its network. The breach was first detected on June 3, 2025, after unusual activity was identified on the network. A subsequent forensic investigation revealed that hackers had access to the systems between June 2 and June 3. While Connex did not discover which specific individuals were impacted until July 27, affected members began receiving notification letters on or around August […]
- [MedusaLocker ransomware group is looking for pentesters](https://sumtrix.com/cyber/medusalocker-ransomware-group-is-looking-for-pentesters/): The MedusaLocker ransomware group has begun actively recruiting professional penetration testers, or “pentesters,” on its dark web leak site, marking a significant and troubling evolution in cybercrime. This shift signals a move toward professionalizing malicious operations, as ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups adopt more business-like structures to maximize profits and efficiency. A pentester is a cybersecurity professional typically hired by organizations to legally hack into their systems. Their job is to identify and exploit vulnerabilities before malicious actors can, providing crucial insights to help a company strengthen its defenses. MedusaLocker’s recruitment, however, inverts this traditional role. By hiring pentesters, the group is […]
- [Xerox FreeFlow Flaws Enable SSRF and Remote Code Execution](https://sumtrix.com/cyber/xerox-freeflow-flaws-enable-ssrf-and-remote-code-execution/): Xerox has released an urgent security bulletin warning customers of two critical vulnerabilities in its FreeFlow Core software. These flaws, which could enable attackers to execute server-side request forgery (SSRF) and remote code execution (RCE) attacks, affect version 8.0.4 and have been classified as “IMPORTANT” severity. The company strongly urges all users to immediately update to the patched version, 8.0.5. The first vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-8355, is an XML External Entity (XXE) processing flaw that can lead to SSRF attacks. An attacker could craft malicious XML input to force the server to make unintended requests to internal or external resources. […]
