This month in security with Tony Anscombe - August 2026 edition

This article provides a roundup of August 2026 cybersecurity news, including a Hugging Face incident, attacks on critical infrastructure, and a spoofed in-flight Wi-Fi network. The piece aggregates multiple security events from the month without deep analysis of individual stories.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need awareness of the Hugging Face compromise (affecting machine learning workflows and supply chains), critical infrastructure attacks (exposing operational systems), and aviation Wi-Fi spoofing (affecting mobile and remote workers), requiring immediate threat assessment and defensive updates across these domains.
