&lt;p&gt;Another week, another reminder that cybersecurity never sleeps—and neither do the threat actors! 😅&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From record-breaking DDoS attacks and zero-day exploits to nation-state espionage campaigns and AI-powered fraud, this week’s &lt;strong&gt;#FWU&lt;/strong&gt; covers the full spectrum of cyber chaos. We’re talking about breaches at major platforms, government policy debates, and even Cloudflare accidentally breaking the internet with a file that got too big (relatable, honestly).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re worried about your smart toaster joining a botnet or just want to stay informed on the latest threats, check out this week’s curated cybersecurity intel.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Friday Wrap Up: 05 September 2025</title><link>https://jorgelaurel.com/archive/fwu/fwu-094/</link><pubDate>Fri, 05 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://jorgelaurel.com/archive/fwu/fwu-094/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://jorgelaurel.com/images/fwu/fcf96d25ef594efb.png" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From record-breaking DDoS attacks and SVG-based phishing to zero-day exploits and AI-powered trade secret drama — this week’s threat landscape had something for everyone (except peace of mind).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;🔍 Russian APTs were intercepted mid-hack, North Korea’s ScarCruft went academic, and Google had to patch 120 Android flaws (yes, 120 — not a typo).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;🏭 Meanwhile, Bridgestone and Jaguar Land Rover hit the cyber brakes, Salesloft Drift’s supply-chain chaos keeps expanding, and a misconfigured server spilled 378GB of Navy Federal data like a coffee cup on a Monday keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Friday Wrap Up: 18 July 2025</title><link>https://jorgelaurel.com/archive/fwu/fwu-087/</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://jorgelaurel.com/archive/fwu/fwu-087/</guid><description>&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s been a busy week in cybersecurity and time for a Friday Wrap Up. Here are some of the interesting stories from this past week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cybersecurity Tools &amp;amp; Techniques&lt;/strong&gt; New developments in tools and frameworks are shaping both offense and defense in the cybersecurity landscape.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;🛠️ TREVORspray is a fast, stealthy credential spray toolkit for Azure, Okta, and OWA login portals. (Published on 7/14/2025, Darknet). &lt;a href="https://www.darknet.org.uk/2025/07/trevorspray-credential-spray-toolkit-for-azure-okta-owa-more/"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;🛡️ MITRE introduces AADAPT framework to defend financial systems and crypto assets. (Published on 7/15/2025, Dark Reading). &lt;a href="https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/mitre-aadapt-framework-financial-systems"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Friday Wrap Up: 18 July 2024</title><link>https://jorgelaurel.com/archive/fwu/fwu-034/</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://jorgelaurel.com/archive/fwu/fwu-034/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://jorgelaurel.com/images/fwu/fcf96d25ef594efb.png" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another wild week in cybersecurity! From hackers giving Elmo a social media crisis and ransomware taking a shot at Russian vodka, to DDoS attacks making 2024 look like a warm-up act—there’s plenty to keep security pros and IT teams busy (and probably a little stressed).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’ve got everything:&lt;br&gt;
• &lt;strong&gt;Stealthy new hacking tools&lt;/strong&gt; targeting Azure, Okta, and more&lt;br&gt;
• &lt;strong&gt;Major malware campaigns&lt;/strong&gt; sneaking through npm and even Microsoft Teams&lt;br&gt;
• &lt;strong&gt;Supply chain risks&lt;/strong&gt; with firmware bugs and Linux cryptominers that just won’t quit&lt;br&gt;
• &lt;strong&gt;Ransomware&lt;/strong&gt; hitting both companies &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; their liquor cabinets&lt;br&gt;
• &lt;strong&gt;Long-standing vulnerabilities&lt;/strong&gt; (turns out, some train hacks just need a couple of decades to get noticed)&lt;br&gt;
• &lt;strong&gt;Cloudflare blocking a tidal wave of DDoS&lt;/strong&gt;—and accidentally blocking itself, but hey, no hackers there&lt;br&gt;
• And for good measure, a dose of AI panic&amp;hellip;with experts saying we can keep our robot uprising memes on standby (for now)&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
