This report discusses the longstanding and growing security challenges in Operational Technology (OT) environments, particularly in industrial settings where legacy equipment runs continuously and cannot be easily patched or taken offline. The convergence of IT and OT networks driven by Industry 4.0 has exposed OT systems to new cyber risks, while organizational priorities emphasize human safety and production availability over cybersecurity. The traditional air gap model is largely obsolete, and security solutions must be tailored to OT's unique operational constraints. Visibility into actual network communications and deliberate placement of controls, often at IT-OT boundaries, are critical strategies. The article highlights the difficulty in managing OT security due to organizational and technical factors rather than a single vulnerability or exploit.

This discussion concerns the challenges of achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification in environments with 'legacy' network segments, common in manufacturing. These segments contain outdated or unpatchable systems isolated by internal firewalls and minimal allow-lists. The referenced guidance suggests using 'Scenario 2' de-scoping, where the entire organization remains in scope but internal segmentation is relied upon for control. Internet access from these legacy segments is tightly controlled via proxy with machine-specific whitelisting, limiting exposure. Local assessors consider the risk negligible due to these controls. There is no indication of an active vulnerability or exploit, but rather a compliance and risk management consideration.
The Miasma campaign is a supply chain attack targeting Red Hat npm packages under the @redhat-cloud-services namespace. Attackers used a compromised Red Hat employee's GitHub account to push malicious commits and abused GitHub Actions OIDC workflows to publish packages with valid SLSA provenance, bypassing supply chain verification. This attack highlights a weakness in the trust model of npm publishing workflows, where the build pipeline's trust boundary can be circumvented upstream. The campaign also includes new variants that collect cloud identities from GCP and Azure, escalating the threat beyond credential harvesting to active cloud access enumeration. Attribution remains uncertain, with possible links to the publicly released TeamPCP toolkit. No known exploits in the wild or official patches have been reported yet.
A user reports that passkey registration using WebAuthn works on localhost but breaks when moving to a custom local domain with a self-signed TLS certificate. The error 'NotAllowedError: WebAuthn is not supported on sites with TLS certificate errors' occurs, indicating that the self-signed certificate is untrusted. The user also notes confusion about the relying party ID (rp_id) and origin settings, as including the port in rp_id is likely incorrect but seems to allow registration. This issue appears related to development environment constraints rather than a direct security vulnerability.

Four coordinated npm supply chain campaigns were active during May and June 2026, targeting the npm ecosystem with various sophisticated techniques including dependency confusion, namespace compromise, scope confusion, and typosquatting. These campaigns employ multi-stage postinstall execution chains that fetch and run platform-specific payloads, aiming to steal environment variables, CI/CD secrets, cloud metadata service tokens, and other sensitive credentials. The campaigns affect multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) and cloud environments (GCP, Azure). Detection relies on identifying version sentinels, cloud metadata endpoint access patterns, and characteristic postinstall behaviors. An open-source scanner with detection capabilities for these campaigns is available for community use.
