State of (in)security - Week 33, 2026

Summary

During week 33 of 2026 (Aug. 10–17), there were 9 advisory/vulnerability events and 42 incidents affecting roughly 39.5 million people, a sharp rise from the prior week. Unauthorized access, ransomware/malware, and third-party compromises were leading causes, and healthcare, government, and IT hit hardest. Major items included Poland's medical data breach affecting 19 million citizens, actively exploited flaws in Magento, VMware vCenter, SharePoint, GeoServer and SAP, and large patch releases from Microsoft (421 fixes), SAP, Siemens, Adobe and Zoom.

Take Action:

Update your Mac and Zoom today, both have flaws attackers are already using to take over machines with no password and no clicks from you. If you run servers, patch anything internet-facing first: vCenter, SharePoint, Adobe Commerce/Magento, and SAP Commerce Cloud are all under active attack right now. Then push the regular Windows update.
