CyberheistNews roundup: security researchers report a rise in phishing that leverages legitimate URL shorteners and multistage tactics (with many emails bypassing DMARC), an active malvertising campaign impersonating Google Authenticator that distributes DeerStealer, and a demonstrated Windows "Downdate" exploit (CVE-2024-38202 / CVE-2024-21302) that can revert patched systems and re-enable old vulnerabilities; the newsletter also warns about AI/deepfake-enabled social engineering and promotes webinars and defensive products.
