Fewer blocks, in exchange for the logs

Anthropic has folded Project Glasswing into a three-tier programme that loosens Claude's cyber safeguards for verified defenders. Every tier comes with the same condition, for now: members must accept data retention so Anthropic can monitor for misuse.

The new admin is called support_fortinet

The FBI and Secret Service say the FortiBleed campaign is still running, and that some victims may be locked out of their own firewalls. The advisory lists the account names attackers leave behind.

Data Breach

Nineteen months, three million Texans

Oracle learned of the theft of patient data from old Cerner servers in February 2025 and told hospitals that notifying patients was their job. On Friday a filing under Cerner's name appeared on the Texas attorney general's breach list: 2,992,244 Texans, Social Security numbers included, letters sent by mail.

Vulnerabilities

Patched by Wednesday, rebooting by Friday

Federal agencies had until 30 September to put Citrix's fix on their NetScaler gateways. By Friday the fixed build was crashing under a new attack. Citrix has now patched its third exploited NetScaler zero-day in a week, and CISA wants it in by Wednesday, with a forensic check, for a flaw Citrix describes as a denial-of-service bug.

Bug Bounties

The bounty that drew too many reports

Google has stopped taking product vulnerability reports in its open-source reward programme, saying a rise in automated submissions has left most of them invalid. Curl ended its bounty in January for the same reason. Intel dropped its cash rewards last month and has not said why.

A switch controlled elsewhere

Christine Lagarde has named this summer's US-ordered suspension of two Anthropic models as a financial-stability warning for Europe. Nothing broke this time, she said. Her concern is what happens once banks and trading firms depend on those models.

Vulnerabilities

The ninth time this year

Cisco says attackers are using a flaw in Catalyst SD-WAN Manager that lets a request with no login act as the admin user. CISA added it to its exploited list on Wednesday with a Saturday deadline. It is the ninth Cisco SD-WAN entry the catalogue has taken in 2026, and the seventh to name the Manager.

Vulnerabilities

Fixed for the phones that did not upgrade

Apple patched an actively exploited CoreGraphics flaw on Monday in iOS 26.7.1 and two older macOS lines. Its own note says the attacks it knows of hit versions of iOS before iOS 27. The CVE does not appear in iOS 27's security notes, and CISA has given federal agencies until Friday.

The cover is priced in bitcoin

Bitget says the $387.5m taken from its hot wallets falls within its user protection fund, and withdrawals began reopening on Monday. The fund is 5,500 bitcoin, not dollars. Below $70,455 it no longer covers the loss, and bitcoin closed below that on 126 of this year's 270 days, most recently on 19 August.

Three days to patch the gateway

CISA put two actively exploited NetScaler flaws on its must-patch list on Sunday evening, with a Wednesday deadline and a forensic check attached. It is the fourth NetScaler entry in 32 days. The three-day window is new this year, and September has already brought more additions to the catalogue than any other month of 2026.

Data Breach

A zero-day, or a flaw on the list since June

ShinyHunters says it broke into the FBI's jobs portal with an unknown PeopleSoft flaw. The PeopleSoft flaw it is known to use has been on the federal must-patch list since 12 June, with a deadline three days later. Either answer is awkward, and the FBI has not yet said whose server it was.

Attackers automate, defenders automate back

Machine-generated phishing and reconnaissance are raising attack volume, and security operations are deploying their own automation to keep triage humanly possible.
