Risky Bulletin: Two law firms pay giant ransoms
Two U.S. law firms paid multi-million dollar ransoms following attacks. A zero-day vulnerability in Metabase is actively exploited in data theft campaigns, and Russian-linked attackers disrupted a second power generation facility in Poland. A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was discovered in WordPress.
Why it matters: Law firms and their clients face escalating ransom demands and operational disruption; organizations running Metabase must patch or isolate the affected system immediately; power utilities and critical infrastructure operators need to assess exposure to Russian threat actors; WordPress site administrators must apply security updates to prevent RCE attacks.
