Daily Cyber News – October 20th, 2025
Manage episode 514743896 series 3691420
This is today’s cyber news for October 20th, 2025. Social platforms and trusted clouds drive the lead stories: “ClickFix” videos walking viewers into info-stealers, and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage abused to deliver convincing Microsoft 365 phishing. We also cover a critical WatchGuard VPN flaw, certificate abuse behind fake Teams installers, and Microsoft’s severe Kestrel request-smuggling fix. Rounding out the brief are vendor and platform risks (F5, ConnectWise, 7-Zip, Linux-PAM, Zimbra), targeted regional campaigns, large-scale fraud infrastructure, and enforcement wins. Each item translates impact into clear business actions.
Listeners will hear exactly what happened, why it matters to the business, who is most exposed, the signals to watch, and one practical next step for every headline. Leaders get crisp prioritization for identity, vendor exposure, and email fraud; defenders get detection cues for copy-paste tutorials, cloud-hosted phishing, appliance patching, and post-compromise elevation. It’s a fast, plain-English rundown you can act on today, with the narrated daily feed available at DailyCyber.news.
