Cybersecurity Threats Surge from Magento Backdoor and AI Risks as RSAC 2025 Highlights Trust in AI Agents; NFL Trade and Draft Developments Emerge
An activated Magento backdoor affecting up to 1,000 online stores has been discovered, compromising payment data through a dormant PHP backdoor hidden in widely used Magento extensions. The vulnerability, which remained undetected for six years, was activated on April 20 and has impacted hundreds of digital storefronts. Security firm Sansec reports that between 500 and 1,000 stores have been compromised, including one operated by a $40 billion multinational company. Nation-state hackers persist in exploiting weak passwords and gaps in multi-factor authentication, opting for simple attack vectors over advanced tools like AI. According to John Fokker, head of threat intelligence at Trellix, cybercriminals continue to prioritize easily exploited vulnerabilities, such as poor password hygiene and unpatched systems, as they offer the quickest and most cost-effective path to success. He advises CISOs to focus on patching, enforcing strong MFA, and improving network visibility to defend against these persistent threats. AI security and safety concerns took center stage at the RSAC 2025 Conference in San Francisco, where experts emphasized the importance of building artificial intelligence systems both quickly and competently. As discussions focused on the risks AI may present, industry leaders highlighted that developing secure and reliable models is critical to ensuring organizations can confidently adopt this rapidly evolving technology. Implementing AI agents in cybersecurity with emphasis on trust and transparency is becoming a reality, as these technologies are already transforming incident response and compliance across organizations. Salesforce Chief Trust Officer Brad Arkin highlighted how security teams can effectively integrate AI agents into their operations, addressing early hurdles while maintaining a strong focus on trust and explainability to ensure responsible deployment. After a challenging season that saw them miss the playoffs, the New York Islanders are poised for a fresh start as they secure the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft. Overcoming steep odds with just a 3.5% chance, the Islanders moved up from the 10th-best position to the top spot in the lottery. Islanders Expected to Select Canadian Defenseman with Top Pick, with many experts projecting 17-year-old Matthew Schaefer of the Erie Otters as their choice. Standing at 6-foot-2 and noted for his elite two-way play, Schaefer is widely regarded as a franchise-changing defenseman and the top-ranked North American skater. If selected, he would be the first player from Erie to go first overall since Connor McDavid in 2015. The draft is set for June 27–28 in Los Angeles. Increased error rates have been identified across multiple ChatGPT services, with users experiencing degraded performance in key components including login, image generation, advanced data analysis, and mobile platforms. OpenAI reports that mitigation efforts are currently underway to address these widespread disruptions. Cowboys All-Pro defensive back DaRon Bland is being considered a likely trade candidate following the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite a standout 2023 season in which he led the league in interceptions and returns for touchdowns, a more limited 2024 campaign plagued by injury has cast doubt on his long-term future in Dallas. The Cowboys’ selection of East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. in the draft adds further competition in the secondary, especially with Bland entering the final year of his contract. While Dallas executive Stephen Jones has expressed interest in a possible extension, Bland’s trade value and the uncertain health of fellow corner Trevon Diggs make him one of the team’s most talked-about trade assets moving into the new season.
