ThreatsDay: 296K IoT Botnet, 100+ Water Systems Targeted, SharePoint RCE Chain + 27 New Stories

A collection of threat intelligence findings includes a 296,000-node Internet of Things (IoT) botnet, targeted scanning of over 100 water systems, and a SharePoint remote code execution (RCE) exploit chain. The reporting also covers emerging attack patterns involving artificial intelligence (AI) integration, command-and-control traffic obfuscation, and delayed malware activation tactics.

Why it matters: Water utility operators face direct reconnaissance risk from the targeting campaign and should verify network segmentation; enterprise administrators need to prioritize SharePoint patching; defenders should monitor for IoT botnet activity and AI-enhanced malware variants in their environments.
