Hey everyone,

As someone deeply involved in web hosting, I've been closely monitoring the latest cyber threats this April. Here's a quick rundown of the most pressing vulnerabilities:

1. Android Zero-Days:
Google's April security update addressed 62 vulnerabilities, including two critical zero-days:
• CVE-2024-53150 allows unauthorized access to sensitive information without user interaction.
• CVE-2024-53197 can lead to memory corruption or privilege escalation. These have been actively exploited, emphasizing the need for prompt updates.

2. Microsoft Patch Tuesday:
Microsoft released patches for 121 vulnerabilities, including one actively exploited zero-day and 11 critical flaws.

3. Ivanti VPN Exploit:
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-22457) in Ivanti's Connect Secure VPN appliances was exploited by attackers, allowing remote code execution.

4. Superannuation Fund Breaches:
Australian superannuation funds faced credential stuffing attacks, compromising thousands of accounts and resulting in significant financial losses.

5. Prompt Injection in AI Models:
AI systems like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini have shown vulnerabilities to prompt injection attacks, where hidden instructions can manipulate AI responses.

6. Supply Chain Attacks via NPM:
Attackers published malicious packages on NPM, using typosquatting techniques to trick developers into downloading malware-laden packages.

7. Cyber-Physical Attacks:
Incidents involving compromised everyday devices, like pagers and walkie-talkies, have highlighted the risks of cyber-physical attacks.

These developments underscore the importance of staying vigilant and ensuring all systems are updated promptly.

Stay safe out there!
