The Lights Went Dark at the Utility


Listen Later

A global utility infrastructure vendor disclosed unauthorized access to its corporate IT systems via SEC 8-K filing, creating potential supply chain exposure for electricity, gas, and water utilities running its smart metering and grid management products. A new threat group (UNC6692) is deploying the three-component Snow malware suite — Snowbelt browser extension, Snowglaze tunneler, and Snowbasin backdoor — for deep persistent access via social engineering. Four new KEV additions include a CVSS 9.9 privilege escalation in SimpleHelp remote support software used by managed service providers. A second medical device company disclosed a breach, confirming the sector as a target category. Firefox 150 and Tor 15.0.10 patch CVE-2026-6770 in the shared browser engine.
