Defender Patch Broken in 24 Hours, AI Agents Hit Papercut Servers, FTC Rolls Back Health App Breach Rules

Microsoft patched a Defender zero day, but a day later researcher Nightmare Eclipse released "ShieldCrash," a new exploit that bypasses the ShieldBreak fix, itself a bypass of an earlier Defender flaw, with a proof of concept working on fully patched Windows 10, 11, and Server to enable arbitrary file reads as SYSTEM.

Researchers also tied recent Papercut print server compromises to a suspected Russian-speaking criminal who used hundreds of AI agents (OpenAI Codex and a DeepSeek model) plus tools like Mimikatz and Impacket to rapidly attack 440 servers across 395 organizations in 48 countries, heavily impacting schools and achieving domain admin in 12 cases.

The FTC rescinded a 2021 policy applying breach notification rules to health apps and connected devices.

Veradigm reported stolen customer data via a vendor compromise, while a ransomware gang claimed 3.5 million patient records.

Fortinet went 92 days without a new critical advisory before disclosing two new critical bugs.
