## Executive Summary Red Hat npm packages were compromised to distribute the Miasma credential‑stealing worm, WordPress sites are being actively exploited via a WP Maps Pro RCE that can create admin accounts, high‑profile Instagram accounts were briefly hijacked by abusing Meta's AI support bot, and a critical Windows Netlogon vulnerability (CVE-2026-41089) is under active scrutiny; nearly 2,000 WordPress sites are reported infected using Steam profiles for C2. Immediate actions recommended include patching affected software, rotating credentials and API tokens, enabling MFA, auditing affected systems, and scanning/restoring infected WordPress instances.
