          Threat group Educated Manticore targets academia and cybersecurity experts

          CheckPoint reports that the Iranian state-sponsored threat group "Educated Manticore" has escalated cyber espionage operations since mid-June 2025, targeting Israeli academics, journalists, and cybersecurity professionals through social engineering campaigns via email and WhatsApp that exploit Iran-Israel tensions to create urgency. The attacks feature advanced phishing infrastructure with multi-factor authentication bypass capabilities and real-time keystroke logging via WebSocket connections.

          **Whatever the attack motivation or the initial social engineering, all these attacks end up with an insistence for you to click on something and enter credentials. Be extremely suspicious of unexpected emails or messages, and verify independently - all or email the organization through official contact channel on the official site. NEVER click on links or call numbers in the unexpected message.**

            Vulnerabilities reported in Brother printers and other vendors, at least one critical

            Brother Industries and four other major printer manufacturers have disclosed eight security vulnerabilities affecting 748 models of multifunction printers, including a critical authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2024-51978) that allows unauthenticated attackers to generate default administrator passwords using a predictable algorithm and cannot be fully patched through firmware updates.

            **If you have Brother printers (or multifunction devices from FUJIFILM, Ricoh, Toshiba Tec, or Konica Minolta), immediately change all default administrator passwords since they probably have a flaw that allows attackers to generate these passwords and can't be fully patched. Alsom, make sure the printer are not accessible from the internet. Then apply the latest firmware updates to fix the other flaws.**
