Executive summary: This newsletter covers broad tech/AI developments and multiple security incidents: active exploitation of critical Fortinet flaws, a patched Splunk pre-auth RCE, a new BitLocker recovery proof-of-concept, law‑enforcement takedown of a China‑based phishing‑as‑a‑service that sent millions of scam texts, and a 297 GB HR/payroll data theft from the Council of Europe attributed to ShinyHunters; CISA has shortened federal patch windows in response to accelerating exploit pace.
