State of (in)security - Week 8, 2026

Summary

During the week of Feb. 16–23, 2026, cybersecurity activity included 11 vulnerability advisories (including critical flaws in Honeywell, Chrome, WordPress plugins, and industrial IoT devices, plus an actively exploited Dell zero-day) and 19 incidents, primarily data breaches and ransomware attacks across healthcare, retail, and hospitality impacting over 1.2 million individuals.

Take Action:

=As usual, vibe coded and AI applications are dangerous. They are rushed, not tested properly and always in a state of Minimal Viable Product. If possible, AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE THAT THEY ARE. If you do use OpenClaw, upgrade to version 2026.2.14 or later ASAP. If you can't upgrade right away, make sure OpenClaw is not exposed to any untrusted networks and disable any extensions you're not actively using.
