SonicWall customers are grappling with yet another pair of actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in SonicWall SMA 1000 appliances, a product that’s been besieged with recurring defects and attacks over the past nine months.

The vendor disclosed and released patches for the defects — CVE-2026-83548 and CVE-2026-83549 — and noted both were already actively exploited in the wild in a security advisory Tuesday. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency added the defects to its known exploited vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog Wednesday. https://scoopmedia.co/4zYmmHe

A group of European Parliament representatives are seeking to delay Serbia’s entry into the European Union and send other messages to Belgrade over the government’s usage of spyware.

The 29 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) cited a report this week from the SHARE Foundation about spyware found on the phones of Serbian student activists and that targeted others as well. The foundation, along with Amnesty International and The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, discovered both Pegasus and NoviSpy spyware infections. https://scoopmedia.co/4xdoGHL

In a letter to NSA Director Gen. Joshua Rudd that Wyden sent Wednesday, the senator continued his push to warn about standard, commercial VPNs, following letters to federal agency leaders in March and July.

“While commercial Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are recommended by federal agencies and widely marketed as shields against online spying, standard consumer VPNs do not sufficiently protect users from sophisticated adversaries,” Wyden wrote in the letter, first reported by CyberScoop. “Other, more secure alternatives are widely available.” https://scoopmedia.co/4yrLULz

Researchers say they have uncovered the first confirmed Pegasus spyware infection of 2026, as well as another spyware variant infection, targeting Serbian student activists and others in what one group called the largest documented wave of that kind of surveillance in the country to date.

The SHARE Foundation said Wednesday that it found 14 people targeted in all, including one member of parliament and a local government official. The University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab confirmed the Pegasus infection of a student activist with “high probability,” while Amnesty International confirmed that two devices had been infected with a new version of the NoviSpy spyware. https://scoopmedia.co/4x8x6QS

According to the agency, the scorecard “will empower consumers and encourage providers to continue to combat illegal robocalls by providing the public with an assessment of the effectiveness of voice service providers’ efforts to protect consumers from illegal robocalls,” the FCC said in a Wednesday public notice.

The notice does not prescribe or define technical solutions or systems for the scorecard, instead laying out broad goals for the project. Those include creating a public guide for evaluating how well providers prevent robocalls, and how transparent they are with their metrics. https://scoopmedia.co/4haCsGm

Sality, a Russia-based botnet that infected more than 11 million devices during a 23-year run of operations, was dismantled Monday by law enforcement, CrowdStrike and the Shadowserver Foundation.

CrowdStrike, which announced the takedown Tuesday alongside authorities, said it played a crucial role dismantling the botnet’s technical infrastructure, rendering the malware-spreading operation irrecoverable. https://scoopmedia.co/4zYvsE4

The FBI said a 17-year-old from Maine is the first child federally charged and adjudicated for crimes stemming from their involvement in 764, a violent extremist collective.

A judge ordered the teen to remain detained after determining they committed multiple crimes, including conspiracy to sexually exploit a child, sexually exploiting and enticing a child, distributing child sexual abuse material, sending interstate threats, cyberstalking victims and identity theft. https://scoopmedia.co/4gDEIGa

The working group’s report, prepared in June at the G7 Summit in France, said organizations “can no longer afford to postpone” work transitioning critical systems and data to “post-quantum” forms of encryption.

“The quantum threat remains off the radar for many organizations and not properly resourced, with other security concerns taking precedence,” the working group report said. “Yet, a successful and collective transition to PQC can only be achieved if organizations understand that the quantum threat is an economic and business risk, and not merely a cryptographic risk.” https://scoopmedia.co/3Vf4fNl
