Host David Shipley reports Fortinet issued emergency hotfixes for a new actively exploited FortiClient EMS unauthenticated RCE zero-day (CVE-2026-35616) affecting 7.4.0.5/7.4.0.6, with over 2,000 exposed instances online and a full fix coming in 7.4.0.7. Anthropic says its Claude "Mythos" model (Project Glasswing) has found thousands of high-severity zero days and demonstrated advanced exploit chaining and sandbox escape, but will not be released publicly; it is being used with major partners and funded with up to $100M in credits plus $4M for open-source security. A postmortem details a North Korea–linked social-engineering supply-chain breach of Axios on NPM, part of a broader campaign spreading 1,700+ malicious packages across multiple ecosystems. US agencies warn Iranian-linked hackers are targeting Rockwell/Allen-Bradley PLCs in critical infrastructure. The White House proposes a $707M cut to CISA, reducing staffing while preserving $1.4B for core cybersecurity.
