_Your daily dose of infosec chaos_
10+

12+
13+
Today's theme: your firewall is on fire, your favorite disc imaging tool is a trojan horse, and developers are the new prime targets. Just another Wednesday in the infosec trenches.

### Palo Alto Firewall Zero-Day Under Active Exploitation
18+
19+
CVE-2026-0300 is a critical buffer overflow in PAN-OS Captive Portal service, scoring a spicy 9.3 CVSS. It allows unauthenticated remote code execution on PA and VM-series firewalls - meaning attackers can own your perimeter gear without even logging in. Exploitation is already happening in the wild.
20+
21+
**What to do:** Patch PAN-OS immediately. If you can't patch yet, disable or restrict access to the Captive Portal service.

### DAEMON Tools Supply Chain Attack Hits Governments
26+
27+
Attackers trojanized the official DAEMON Tools installer starting April 8, pushing backdoors to thousands of downloaders worldwide. But here's the interesting part: the sophisticated payload only deployed on about a dozen high-value systems belonging to government and scientific organizations. Classic supply chain hit with surgical precision.
28+
29+
**What to do:** Check if your org installed DAEMON Tools recently. Verify installer hashes and scan endpoints for indicators of compromise.

### New Quasar Linux Malware Hunts Developers
34+
35+
A previously unknown Linux implant called QLNX is making rounds, combining rootkit, backdoor, and credential-stealing capabilities into one nasty package. It specifically targets developer workstations - because of course it does, that's where the keys to the kingdom live. Source code repos, cloud creds, CI/CD pipelines, all the goodies.
36+
37+
**What to do:** Audit developer endpoints for unusual processes or rootkit indicators. Review access controls for source code repositories and CI/CD secrets.

### Instructure Breach Exposes 280 Million Education Records
42+
43+
The edtech giant behind Canvas LMS got hit, and the attacker claims to have stolen data from 8,800 schools and universities - 280 million records covering students and staff. That's a significant chunk of the global education sector's data in one shot.
44+
45+
**What to do:** If your institution uses Instructure products, monitor for updates on affected datasets and watch for targeted phishing using leaked student/staff information.

Catch you tomorrow. In the meantime, go check your attack surface.
