⚡ Finding Service After Ditching Big Carriers

One of our community members asked where to go for service after switching to an Above Phone—and I shared why we created the Above DataSIM. It’s a seamless way to stay connected without compromising on privacy, and it works great with your new setup.

⚡️How at-risk are you for a SIM swap?

Here’s a quick test:
Search your texts for 6-digit codes. Every login code you find is a service tied to your phone number. That’s your risk score.

Most people have 8+ accounts relying on text-based 2FA—making them easy targets.

Your info might already be out there. But you can lower your risk and lock things down.

🛑 Google’s AI just stopped a cyberattack before it even began.

An LLM agent named Big Sleep discovered a critical SQLite flaw (CVE-2025-6965) that threat actors were likely about to exploit—making it the first known case of an AI foiling a live exploit attempt.

Details on how it worked → https://thehackernews.com/2025/07/google-ai-big-sleep-stops-exploitation.html

⚠️ WARNING - Google Chrome Zero-Day Alert!

A new exploit is hitting users right now — CVE-2025-6558 lets attackers break out of the browser sandbox.

Update Chrome ASAP → https://thehackernews.com/2025/07/urgent-google-releases-critical-chrome.html

(Edge, Brave, Opera users: you're not safe either.)

🚨 Two Android threats just collided — and it’s getting wild.

Hackers are using evil twin apps with the same package name as legit Play Store apps to deliver Konfety malware — now upgraded with fake encryption, APK crashes, dynamic payloads, and hidden installs.

At the same time, TapTrap lets apps hijack your screen taps to grant malware dangerous permissions — no user awareness needed.

This isn’t theoretical. Android 16 is still vulnerable.

🚨 M&A chaos isn't just financial—it’s identity chaos too.

Mergers can spawn 25+ siloed systems, untracked privileged accounts, and dangerous role creep. One wrong move? Audit failures or full-blown breaches.

Here’s how to restore order before risk takes over ↓ https://thehackernews.com/expert-insights/2025/07/identity-challenges-in-mergers-and.html

⚡ Deepfake CEOs. Fake job offers. Cloned websites.

AI-powered scams are fooling even trained teams—because they look real. These aren’t phishing emails. They’re full-scale impersonation attacks.

See how to stop them in real time.

🚨 One flaw. Total takeover.

A critical bug in Windows Server 2025 lets attackers generate any dMSA/gMSA password—across the forest.

It bypasses Credential Guard and can persist for years.

🚨 Your AI agent isn’t just helping—it has full access to code, payroll, email, and more.

If one device gets hacked, it can leak everything—fast.

The real risk? It’s not the AI. It’s who (or what) can talk to it.

ISPs are high-value DDoS targets—and need tailored defenses.

We tested the DDoS resilience of a leading mobile operator by simulating six attacks that bypassed their CDN and hit the origin server directly.

While network-layer attacks were blocked, two app-layer attacks—a GET Flood and POST Flood—slipped through.

🚨 Hackers are exploiting fully patched SonicWall SMA 100 firewalls using stolen OTP seeds and a stealth backdoor.

Google says the malware, OVERSTEP, rewrites boot scripts, hides logs, and steals credentials—persisting even after reboots.
