Microsoft is investigating an Exchange Online outage (tracked as EX1467029) causing delays for emails sent to and from external domains. It started around 2:19 AM EDT, with users hitting intermittent "Server busy" errors across multiple mailboxes. Microsoft says anti-spam protections may be making the delays worse for some users, but they haven't identified a root cause or given a fix timeline yet, just that they're still digging into telemetry.

No word yet on which regions or how many users are affected, though it's been flagged as an incident, which typically means real user impact.

This is just the latest in a string of Exchange Online problems this year, including mailbox access issues in April, mail flow delays in June, and a bigger outage with auth and connection failures just this past Thursday.

SonicWall patched two SMA 1000 VPN vulnerabilities being actively exploited in the wild:

CVE-2026-83548 (CVSS 10.0): pre-auth SSRF in the Appliance Work Place interface, no login needed
CVE-2026-83549 (CVSS 7.8): post-auth OS command injection in the AMC, needs admin creds but leads to RCE

Looks like attackers are chaining both to get code ex*****on. Affects SMA 6210, 7210, and 8200v on 12.4.3-03453 and 12.5.0-02835 or older.

Fix: patch to 12.4.3-03526 or 12.5.0-02952. If IoCs turn up, re-image, rotate all passwords, and reset TOTP.

This is on top of another SMA 1000 zero-day pair (CVE-2026-15409/15410) patched last month that got used to drop KNUCKLEBALL malware. Second SMA 1000 zero-day round in about a month.

If you feel like cybersecurity news moves fast, you are not imagining it. Here is a roundup of what happened recently and why it matters for businesses like yours.

Microsoft's Massive Patch Tuesday

Microsoft just released updates fixing at least 570 security holes across Windows and other software. That is almost triple what they patched the month before, and 42 of those flaws were rated critical. If your machines are not set up for automatic patching and monitoring, this is exactly the kind of update that can slip through the cracks and leave you exposed for weeks.

Active Attacks Happening Right Now

A few things stand out this cycle:

Over 8,300 exposed Gitea instances (a tool developers use for code hosting) are still unpatched against a critical flaw that attackers are actively exploiting.

PaperCut, a print management platform used by a lot of businesses, had to issue a second emergency patch after researchers found ways around their first fix.

Toy giant Hasbro is disclosing a data breach that exposed employee addresses, IDs, and financial information after a cyberattack earlier this year.

A severe vulnerability was found in the GiveWP WordPress plugin that could let an attacker take over a server without even needing valid login credentials.

Supply Chain Attacks Are Still a Big Deal

A hacking group known as TeamPCP compromised a popular open source AI tool called LiteLLM earlier this year, harvesting cloud credentials and secrets from more than 2,500 organizations. That same group later claimed responsibility for compromising thousands of GitHub repositories after a developer unknowingly installed a malicious code extension. The good news is Australian authorities just arrested and charged two people connected to this group.

The bigger lesson here is that attacks are not just coming through your front door anymore. They are coming through the tools and software your vendors use.

Why This Matters for You

Most of these headlines have a common thread. A patch comes out, and the businesses that apply it quickly stay safe. The ones that do not become the next headline. That is really the whole game in cybersecurity right now, staying current, staying monitored, and having someone watching for the gaps you do not have time to watch yourself.

Ransomware attacks usually start with something small. An employee opens an email attachment that looks legitimate, clicks a dangerous link, or downloads an infected file. Sometimes it even comes in through a USB drive. That one click is often all it takes to get ransomware into your system.

Once inside, it does not sit still. It searches your computer for files to encrypt, then spreads across your network looking for other machines to infect. It also hunts for your backups and tries to delete or encrypt them, since backups are what let you recover without paying. Often the attackers quietly steal your data first, giving them extra leverage.

Then the damage becomes impossible to ignore. Your documents, photos, databases, and everything else get locked behind strong encryption you cannot break on your own. A message appears demanding payment, and your business grinds to a halt because the systems you rely on are no longer usable.

Finally comes the demand itself. The criminals ask for payment, usually in Bitcoin, and set a deadline, threatening permanent data loss if you do not pay. What many business owners do not realize is that paying is no guarantee you will get your files back, and many businesses that do pay end up targeted again later.

Attackers have been breaking into Wi-Fi gateways at hotels and conference venues and altering their DNS settings so guests get sent to fake Microsoft 365 sign-in pages instead of the real ones. ReliaQuest, which uncovered the campaign, says it’s been running since at least June and has hit compromised gateways in several U.S. cities plus India and Saudi Arabia. Victims span finance, legal, professional services, healthcare, energy, and retail — the researchers say that spread points to traveling employees being the target rather than any one industry. The activity resembles earlier router-hijacking campaigns tied to the Russian group APT28 (Fancy Bear).

How it works

Nobody’s confirmed how the attackers get in, but exposed management interfaces (SSH, SNMP, web admin) or unpatched vulnerabilities are the likely entry point. Once they have admin access, they repoint DNS to their own infrastructure. At least four lookalike domains have been registered for the phishing portals: m365-owa[.]com, owa-ms365[.]com, ms365-device[.]com, and ms365-live[.]com.

Some victims got a device-code authentication prompt instead. Approving it hands the attacker a valid OAuth token for a session they started — no password stolen, and MFA never comes into play.

In about a third of cases, the attackers also tried abusing WPAD, answering Windows’ automatic lookup with a malicious PAC file to push traffic through their own proxy. ReliaQuest couldn’t confirm whether that part worked.

Worth noting: setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 doesn’t help. The gateway intercepts the plain-text queries before they ever reach Google.

Defenses

Always-on, full-tunnel VPN
Encrypted DNS in strict mode
Disable WPAD
Turn off Device Code flow in Entra ID unless you actually need it
Review logs for anything unusual

Two SonicWall SMA1000 VPN bugs got chained together and exploited as zero-days for weeks before patches came out.

CVE-2026-15409 (SSRF, critical): let attackers hit an internal-only endpoint (/wsproxy) to tunnel into services that should've been walled off, like CouchDB and the management console. From there they grabbed the device's product_uuid, needed for step two.
CVE-2026-15410 (command injection, high): using that UUID, attackers hit an RPC method in the Appliance Management Console to run commands as root — full device takeover.

Affects SMA1000 6210/7210/8200v. Patches are out (12.4.3-03453 and 12.5.0-02835) — install now.

Once attackers had root, they dropped a malware loader (KNUCKLEBALL) that installed two custom Java tools built specifically for these appliances:

Sou5 – reverse proxy for tunneling traffic through the box
ORANGETAIL – a webshell for remotely running encrypted commands

They also tweaked the nginx config to expose the webshell externally and added a root-privilege-escalation tool (ROOTRUN).

Volexity (who helped SonicWall investigate) attributes this to a new group they call UTA0533, active since at least June 22 — weeks before SonicWall's public disclosure. Despite the sophisticated toolkit, the attackers reportedly struggled to pivot further into victims' internal networks.

Bottom line for you: if you or any clients run SMA1000 6210/7210/8200v, patch immediately and check for signs of the wsproxy/CouchDB abuse pattern, since exploitation predates the disclosure by weeks.
