Follow reporting on data breaches, ransomware, phishing and software vulnerabilities. When reading a security story, check which product versions are affected, whether exploitation has been confirmed, and whether the vendor has published a fix. A newly disclosed weakness and an attack already under way are different developments. For an independent reference alongside the headlines, CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog lists flaws with evidence of exploitation. Each headline below opens the publisher’s report; use its date and any linked vendor advisory to distinguish a new incident from an update to an older one.

Turns out that presenting Pamela and Jason Voorhees as tragic figures saps the shock value of Friday The 13th. This article contains spoilers for Crystal Lake.
