Mac Malware Gaslights AI, Major Info-Stealer Takedown, OpenAI's Patch the Planet, and FortiBleed Fallout
Mac malware called "Gaslight," attributed to North Korea-aligned actors, plants fake system messages designed to derail AI-based analysis while stealing data and exfiltrating it via a Telegram bot.
 
Microsoft and Europol disrupted the Amadey and SteelC info-stealer ecosystem by seizing/shuttering infrastructure after identifying 140,000 infections in early May and over 200 command-and-control domains and IPs, as part of Operation Endgame.
 
OpenAI announced "Patch the Planet," a joint effort with Trail of Bits and HackerOne to help open-source projects find and fix bugs amid AI-generated report flooding, alongside a new GPT 5.5 Cyber benchmark result. 
 
New FortiBleed reporting underscores that the campaign relies on credential reuse against exposed FortiGate devices and may require rotating far more than just firewall passwords.

Fortinet finally weighs in on FortiBleed - it's not a bug. Plus a healthcare AI firm loses 1.4 million people's data to a single phishing email, a trading bot built to prey on others gets played for $15 million, and LastPass lands back on a breach list it didn't cause.

A breach at market intelligence platform Klue allowed attackers to steal OAuth tokens linking Clue to customers' Salesforce environments, enabling quiet API-driven data extraction from firms including Huntress, Recorded Future, Tanium, and Jamf; Clue revoked tokens, removed the legacy integration credential involved, and engaged CrowdStrike as Icarus threatens extortion, echoing earlier Salesforce token-theft campaigns affecting nearly 1,000 companies. 
Researchers also detail AriStinger, a new botnet infecting 4,000+ end-of-life D-Link routers to scan, proxy, tunnel, execute commands, and hijack DNS, with many infections in South Korea and China. The episode covers federal cyberstalking charges against Anthony Belford for allegedly using fake accounts and AI-generated nude images, and ESET's report that the "Gentleman" ransomware crew is developing modular EDR-killing tools to disable endpoint defenses.

In this special Cybersecurity Today weekend interview, host David Shipley speaks with Amy Yee about leadership, resilience, and the human side of cybersecurity.
Amy shares her remarkable journey from electrical engineering and venture capital to becoming the inaugural Chief Digital Officer at Accreditation Canada and Health Standards Organization, where she helped build the digital foundation used by hundreds of healthcare organizations across Canada.
The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Amy recounts leading through a ransomware attack that struck her organization before tabletop exercises and incident-response planning had become routine. She describes the chaos of the first 48 hours, the emotional toll on staff, the difficult weeks that followed, and the lessons learned during a 60-day recovery effort.
Amy also discusses her popular conference talk inspired by Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven, reimagined for cybersecurity. She explores five people every cyber professional encounters during their career: the person they protected, the person who challenged them, the person who gave them a chance, the person they failed, and the person they inspired.
This is a conversation about cybersecurity, leadership, resilience, mentorship, and finding meaning in a profession that often works behind the scenes.
Topics covered:
Ransomware incident response
Cybersecurity leadership
Healthcare cybersecurity
Digital transformation
Executive crisis management
Building cyber resilience
Career growth in technology
Mentorship and leadership lessons
The human side of cybersecurity

A special crossover episode of Cybersecurity Today and Hashtag Trending for June 19, 2026.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an urgent warning after security researchers uncovered the FortiBleed dataset, exposing credentials tied to approximately 74,000 Fortinet firewall and SSL VPN devices across 194 countries. Researchers found the data on an exposed threat actor server containing attack tools, victim databases, logs, and thousands of verified usernames and passwords. Analysts report that tens of thousands of those credentials may still be active.
Host Jim Love breaks down:
• What FortiBleed is and how it was discovered
• Why this affects roughly half of all internet-facing Fortinet devices
• What CISA and Fortinet are telling organizations to do immediately
• The potential risks of credential reuse and lateral movement attacks
• Practical steps security teams should take right now
The episode also includes an interview with Mike Sweeney of Silent Push on major international efforts targeting Southeast Asian scam compounds and criminal infrastructure during Operation Disruption Week.
If your organization uses Fortinet firewalls, FortiGate appliances, or SSL VPNs, this is an episode you should not miss.
