🚨 Welcome to Blumira Briefings! This week, our security experts Jake, Mike, and Michael join Zoe to help break down critical vulnerabilities and trending threats you need to know about. 🚨

What We Cover This Week:

📱 Two critical Cisco vulnerabilities - hard-coded root credentials in Unified CM (CVSS 10.0) and RCE flaws in Identity Services Engine (CVSS 10.0) 
🌐 Google's 4th Chrome zero-day of 2025 - type confusion in the V8 JavaScript engine 
⚠️ CitrixBleed 2 exploits now in the wild - allowing attackers to steal session tokens with a CVSS 9.3 rating 
⚫ Windows' Blue Screen of Death turning black - Microsoft's response to last year's CrowdStrike outage 
🤖 AI models providing incorrect login URLs 34% of the time, creating new phishing opportunities 💼 Ingram Micro hit by suspected SafePay ransomware, highlighting supply chain risks


💡 Quick tip of the week: Remind your team that LLMs generate information rather than retrieve it - so it’s important to always verify URLs!

Expert Insights On:
* Building failover communication options in case primary systems are compromised
* How to better validate API security before implementation
* Why organizations should treat AI-generated information with skepticism
* Defensive domain registration strategies to counter AI misdirection
* Preparation steps to mitigate third-party security risks
