•[ cryptocurrency theft, smart contract exploit, blockchain security ]
The Record reported that hackers stole more than $26 million in cryptocurrency from the Truebit platform on Thursday (January 8, 2026). Truebit said it became aware of a security incident involving one or more malicious actors and urged users not to interact with the affected smart contract. Blockchain security firms tracked 8,535 ETH taken (reported as about $26.44 million). The report frames the event as a major early-2026 crypto theft affecting Truebits on-chain assets, with ongoing law-enforcement contact and incident response actions mentioned, but without detailing the precise exploit mechanism in the article text provided.
Badr satellite
January 18, 2026
•[ broadcast hijacking, hacktivism, signal interference ]
The Record reported that several Iranian state television channels were briefly hijacked on Sunday (January 18, 2026), interrupting programming to air protest footage and anti-regime messages, including content associated with an exiled opposition figure. The affected channels were transmitted via the Badr satellite used to deliver provincial stations nationwide. Social media clips showed messages urging continued protests alongside solidarity footage.

At least one Afghan government worker
January 20, 2026
•[ phishing, malware, data exfiltration ]
The Record reported that attackers targeted Afghan government workers with phishing emails disguised as official correspondence from the office of the countrys prime minister. Researchers said the campaign, first detected in December, used a decoy document resembling a government letter (including a forged signature) to entice recipients in ministries/administrative offices to open it. Once opened, the document delivered malware dubbed FalseCub, designed to collect and exfiltrate data from infected computers. The report is focused on the campaign and malware behavior; it does not list specific compromised agencies, confirmed infection counts, or stolen data volumes, so impacts are coded as undetermined.
At least one individual in Greece
January 21, 2026
•[ phishing, SMS blaster, rogue mobile base station ]
The Record reported that Greek police dismantled a scam operation in the Athens area that used a fake cell tower concealed in a car to send phishing messages to nearby mobile users. Authorities said the device operated as a rogue mobile base station (SMS blaster), mimicking legitimate telecom infrastructure and forcing phones to connect while downgrading them to 2G, which the criminals used to facilitate mass scam messaging. The article focuses on law-enforcement action against the operators and describes the method used; it does not quantify victim counts, confirmed credential theft outcomes, or specific financial losses, so scope and data impacts are coded as undetermined.
At least one Jordanian activist
January 22, 2026
•[ digital forensics, government surveillance, data extraction ]
The Record summarized findings from a Citizen Lab report stating that Jordanian authorities used Cellebrite digital forensic software to extract data from phones belonging to at least seven Jordanian activists and human rights defenders between late 2023 and mid-2025.

On-site payments were restricted to cash, though tickets purchased online before the incident could still be scanned, and the museums remained open. The ministry stated security systems protecting the collections were not affected and physical/technical security remained intact, indicating the primary impact was operational disruption of public-facing digital services rather than compromise of collection security systems.
At least one Telecom company in South Asia
January 8, 2026
•[ espionage, malware, threat intelligence ]
The Hacker News summarized Cisco Talos research attributing espionage-focused intrusions to a China-nexus actor tracked as UAT-7290. The campaign reportedly targets telecom entities in South Asia and Southeastern Europe, performing extensive reconnaissance followed by compromise activity that can lead to deployment of malware families including RushDrop, DriveSwitch, and SilentRaid. The article is threat-intelligence reporting focused on actor behavior, tooling, and geographic targeting, and it does not provide a bounded, single victim incident record with confirmed impact metrics (e.g., downtime or specific data stolen) for one named organization.
Esquire Brands
January 2, 2026
•[ ransomware, data leak, extortion ]

Bolttech
January 5, 2026
•[ ransomware, data leak, extortion ]

The article notes the claim was based on the leak-site post and that confirmation from Bolttech was being sought.
At least one Booking.com user
January 7, 2026
•[ phishing, social engineering, malware ]
Research summarized by Cybernews described a ClickFix social-engineering campaign abusing Booking.com branding. Victims receive phishing emails about a cancelled reservation and a large charge; clicking through leads to a fake Booking.com page with a fake refresh flow and a simulated Blue Screen of Death. The page instructs the user to paste/run a malicious script (PowerShell) via Windows Run, which then fetches and executes remote code, disables Windows Defender, and establishes persistence with C2 connectivity. The link is campaign/threat-intel reporting and does not provide a single confirmed victim organization or a bounded incident count, but it describes successful infections driven by user-executed commands.
Higham Lane School
January 7, 2026
•[ cyberattack, operational disruption, IT outage ]
Cybernews reported that Higham Lane School, a secondary school in Nuneaton, England, temporarily closed due to a cyberattack. According to the headteachers message to parents cited in the article, the school took all IT systems and digital services completely offline as a precaution, including telephones, email, servers, and the schools management system. The report does not identify the threat actor, method of intrusion, or whether data was accessed; the primary confirmed impact is operational disruption and loss of communications/management systems while the school responded.
Cressi
January 8, 2026
•[ ransomware, data leak, leak site ]
Cybernews reported that the ransomware group Qilin claimed responsibility for an attack on Cressi, an Italian diving equipment manufacturer, by posting a ransom entry on its leak site on January 8, 2026. The report notes that at that stage it was unclear what data (if any) had been accessed or exfiltrated and that the group had not published data samples or set a countdown timer. As reported, the main confirmed indicator is the groups claim and listing on the leak site; independent confirmation of encryption, downtime, or data theft was not provided in the article.
Free Speech Union (FSU)
January 9, 2026
•[ data leak, hacktivism, donor exposure ]
Cybernews reported that the UK-based Free Speech Union (FSU) was hacked by trans activists and that the names of people who donated 50 or more were publicly listed online. The dataset was made available via Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets). The article frames the attack as politically motivated (protest/ideological retaliation) and describes the outcome as exposure of supporter identities; it does not confirm the full set of leaked fields beyond donor names and the donation-threshold context, nor does it describe service disruption at the organization.
