Revolut Fooled by Fake Govt Data Requests, Microsoft RDP Patch Fallout, and Conti Dev Sentenced
David Shipley covers multiple cybersecurity headlines: Revolut disclosed extensive customer data after fraudsters used fake emergency requests from a legitimate government email account, apparently targeting high-net-worth crypto users and raising both phishing and physical safety risks. Microsoft issued out-of-band updates after September Patch Tuesday updates broke Remote Desktop and caused broader Windows instability across Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2019–2025. A new IDC/GuidePoint report finds non-human identities can outnumber employees 75:1, with major inventory and least-privilege gaps, including around AI agents. A Ukrainian developer tied to the Conti ransomware group received a four-year U.S. prison sentence. Finally, a U.S. Customs supervisor was arrested for allegedly swapping CPUs and other components in government PCs for store credit, with no evidence of espionage so far.

Defender Patch Broken in 24 Hours, AI Agents Hit Papercut Servers, FTC Rolls Back Health App Breach Rules

Researchers also tied recent Papercut print server compromises to a suspected Russian-speaking criminal who used hundreds of AI agents (OpenAI Codex and a DeepSeek model) plus tools like Mimikatz and Impacket to rapidly attack 440 servers across 395 organizations in 48 countries, heavily impacting schools and achieving domain admin in 12 cases.

Microsoft's Record 966-Fix Patch Tuesday, Liquid Network Bitcoin Returned (Mostly), and Five Eyes' Back-to-Basics Warning
Cybersecurity Today host David Shipley reports Microsoft's largest Patch Tuesday ever with 966 vulnerability fixes (plus 204 earlier cloud-service fixes), including 105 critical issues, two actively exploited Windows zero-days, and a surge tied to AI-assisted bug discovery—raising defenders' triage and testing burden. 
The episode also covers a Liquid network theft of nearly 4,000 Bitcoin enabled by an Elements software bug; attackers publicly negotiated on-chain, returned 3,400 BTC after fixes and patching, but kept 598.5 BTC, prompting debate over "white hat" claims versus extortion or laundering. 
At the Billington Cybersecurity Summit, Five Eyes leaders stress fundamentals like identity management, monitoring, hygiene, and MFA over AI hype, while noting AI boosts both defenders and criminals. 
Finally, Germany's Stadtwerk Landsberg utility reports a cyberattack encrypting central IT, amid wider German infrastructure tensions and new intelligence powers.
