This infosec briefing highlights several high-impact items: Meta introducing link-history browsing data for ad targeting; multiple critical vulnerabilities and patches (including Chrome fixes and CVSS 9.8 ICS/PLC flaws, some observed exploited in the wild); recent account hijackings of high-profile X accounts used for crypto scams; and an arrest tied to a $7.5M business email compromise scheme. The report is a topical roundup of security fixes, active exploitation, and notable cybercrime incidents.
