AI has changed phishing forever.

Today’s attacks are polished, personalized and often AI-generated β€” making them harder to detect than ever before.

The old β€œspot the typo” approach no longer works.

Modern phishing attacks can mimic executives, vendors and trusted brands with alarming accuracy, putting MSPs and their clients at greater risk.

To stay ahead, MSPs need:
βœ… AI-powered threat detection
βœ… Faster impersonation detection
βœ… Real-time user coaching
βœ… Layered cyber resilience

⚠️ Critical UNPATCHED 9.4 RCE flaw in Gogs lets any authenticated user execute arbitrary code on the server.

An attacker can simply use a malicious branch name during the rebase-before-merge process. No admin rights or victim interaction needed.

Full compromise can expose every repository on the instance, including private ones from other users, and open the door to further network attacks.

Rapid7 has published a Metasploit module that automates the exploit. Strong recommendation to lock down user and repository creation until a fix arrives.

No CVE issued. Full report and mitigations: https://thehackernews.com/2026/05/critical-gogs-rce-vulnerability-lets.html
