Data Leak

Updated: 23.06.2026 18:31 · First: 23.06.2026 18:31 · 📰 1 src / 1 articles · H score: 46

The Transport for London (TfL) intrusion became a confirmed data leak after customer data was stolen from the Oyster refunds system, raising misuse risk for affected records. TfL disclosed the theft on September 12, 2024, after the attack had already disrupted refund services. The stolen-data thread sits alongside the wider operational damage and criminal case tied to the breach.

Security scanners for AI agent skills, including those wired into skills.sh, cleared a fake skill that hid its real payload behind stitch-design.ai, exposing a vetting gap that can let post-review instructions slip through. The skill, brand-landingpage, was pushed through a marketplace and an Instagram ad. A clean scan at install time did not guarantee a safe skill afterward because the linked content could change later.

Trump executive order sets federal PQC migration deadlines

Public Sector Action

Updated: 23.06.2026 18:16 · First: 23.06.2026 18:16 · 📰 1 src / 1 articles · H score: 23

President Trump signed EO 14409, ordering federal agencies to migrate high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography on a fixed schedule, tightening U.S. government defenses against harvest now, decrypt later risk. The order sets December 31, 2030 for key establishment and December 31, 2031 for digital signatures, while leaving national security systems on a separate track. It also pushes OMB, NIST, CISA, and the FAR Council into follow-on guidance, inventory, pilot, and contractor-rule work.

EO 14409 forces US federal agencies to accelerate their post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration, imposing deadlines that reach 2030-2031 and affecting the security of high value assets and high impact systems. The order also assigns OMB a lead coordination role and adds a Commerce pilot project, turning quantum-safe migration into a federal cybersecurity program with concrete milestones. It matters because the transition is meant to protect sensitive data, critical infrastructure, and federal supply chains from future “harvest now, decrypt later” risk.

Klue hit by network compromise

Incident

Updated: 18.06.2026 17:19 · First: 18.06.2026 17:19 · 📰 3 src / 5 articles · H score: 39

Klue confirmed a June 12, 2026 security incident in which an attacker used a compromised legacy credential to obtain OAuth tokens from Klue’s integration infrastructure and access data in connected Salesforce environments. The activity is now publicly claimed by Icarus, which said Klue.com was impacted and that partner Salesforce instances were exfiltrated. Reports from Huntress and ReliaQuest tie the theft to automated Python scripts and Salesforce API querying, with affected organizations including Recorded Future, Tanium, Jamf, Sprout Social, Gong, and Insurity. Klue says the incident was limited to third-party integrations and that there is no evidence customer content stored directly in the Klue platform was impacted.
