Recent Breaches

• NationStates February 3, 2026 • [ vulnerability, remote code execution, data leak ] NationStates confirmed a data breach after taking its website offline to investigate a security incident. The operator stated that on January 27, 2026 a player reported a critical vulnerability, then exceeded authorized boundaries and obtained remote code execution on the main production server, allowing them to copy application code and user data. NationStates indicated the only way to restore confidence was to rebuild the server and determine what was accessed or copied, leading to site instability and downtime during response. The incident combines confirmed unauthorized access/data copying with operational disruption from the shutdown/rebuild.
• Iron Mountain February 3, 2026 • [ unauthorized access, extortion, compromised credentials ] Iron Mountain said a breach claim by the Everest extortion gang was limited to access to a single folder on a file-sharing server that primarily contained marketing materials. The company stated that a single compromised login credential was used, the credential was deactivated, and there was no ransomware or malware involvement beyond the unauthorized access. Iron Mountain also said no other systems were breached and that no customer confidential or sensitive information was involved.
• Step Finance January 31, 2026 • [ hacking, cryptocurrency theft, treasury breach ] Step Finance reported that hackers compromised devices belonging to company executives and used that access to breach several treasury wallets, resulting in approximately $40 million in stolen digital assets. The platform detected the incident on January 31, 2026 and engaged cybersecurity researchers and partners; it reported partial recovery (including assets associated with Remora and other positions) and stated certain operations were halted to reinforce security. The incident affected treasury wallet holdings rather than user rTokens (reported as fully backed), and Step advised users to avoid interacting with the STEP token pending an outcome plan and snapshot process.
• At least one organization in Southeast Asia October 1, 2025 • [ espionage, APT activity, vulnerability exploitation ] BleepingComputer summarized Check Point research on a newly tracked actor Amaranth Dragon, linked to China-aligned APT activity, which exploited WinRAR CVE-2025-8088 in espionage operations against government and law enforcement entities in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, and the Philippines. The actor used geofenced infrastructure and a custom loader to deliver encrypted payloads (including Havoc and a newer TGAmaranth RAT using Telegram for C2). Because the article is campaign/threat-research reporting without a discrete, named victim event record and bounded impacts, event_type and event_subtype are coded as NA for CED incident purposes.
• Substack October 1, 2025 • [ phishing, data leak, unauthorized access ] Substack notified users of a data breach after it identified evidence on February 3, 2026 that an unauthorized third party accessed limited user data in October 2025. Substack stated that credit card numbers, passwords, and financial information were not accessed. The company did not disclose how access was obtained, but said it fixed the system issue that enabled it and warned users to be cautious of phishing. Reporting cited a database allegedly containing 697,313 records posted to a hacking forum, consistent with exposure of emails, phone numbers, and internal account metadata.
• University of La Sapienza February 5, 2026 • [ cyberattack, operational disruption, network shutdown ] La Sapienza University in Rome reported that its IT infrastructure was targeted by a cyberattack that caused widespread operational disruption. The university announced it ordered an immediate shutdown of network systems as a precaution to protect data integrity and security, and formed a technical task force while notifying authorities. As of the report, the universitys website remained offline and ongoing status updates indicated continued recovery work. Public reporting did not confirm data theft; the primary documented effect is the deliberate shutdown and resulting loss of availability for key university network services.
• Spain's Ministry of Science (Ministerio de Ciencia) February 5, 2026 • [ cyberattack, data leak, IDOR vulnerability ] Spains Ministry of Science partially shut down IT systems and suspended ongoing administrative procedures following what it called a technical incident, later reported by Spanish media as related to a cyberattack. A threat actor using the alias GordonFreeman claimed responsibility, posted samples, and offered allegedly stolen ministry data for sale. The attacker claimed an IDOR vulnerability enabled credential access and full admin-level access, but BleepingComputer noted it could not independently confirm all claims. The confirmed impact is significant service disruption for citizen/company-facing procedures, with credible indications of data compromise based on posted samples.
• Flickr (via an undisclosed third-party provider) February 5, 2026 • [ data leak, third-party risk, phishing ] Flickr notified users of a potential data breach after a vulnerability in a system operated by one of its third-party email service providers may have allowed unauthorized access to member information. Flickr said it was alerted on February 5, 2026 and shut down access to the affected system within hours. The company stated that passwords and payment card numbers were not compromised. Exposed data may include real names, email addresses, usernames, account type, IP address, general location, and platform activity; Flickr urged vigilance for phishing and recommended changing passwords on other services if reused.
• An undisclosed critical infrastructure company in Zambia November 1, 2025 • [ espionage, phishing, vulnerability exploitation ] BleepingComputer summarized Unit 42 research on a state-aligned espionage group tracked as TGR-STA-1030/UNC6619 conducting global operations dubbed Shadow Campaigns. The report said the actor compromised at least 70 government and critical infrastructure organizations across 37 countries and conducted reconnaissance activity targeting government entities connected to 155 countries during NovDec 2025. The article describes initial access via tailored phishing (Mega-hosted archives) and exploitation of multiple known vulnerabilities, use of webshells and tunneling tools, and a custom Linux eBPF rootkit (ShadowGuard), but it does not provide a single discrete victim organization record with a specific primary effect suitable for one CED event entry.
• Australian Treasury Department November 1, 2025 • [ cyber espionage, phishing, Shadow Campaigns ] BleepingComputer summarized Unit 42 research on a state-aligned espionage group tracked as TGR-STA-1030/UNC6619 conducting global operations dubbed Shadow Campaigns.
