Cisco Patches Async OS Bug

Critical Security Flaws Patched by Cisco and Fortinet Amidst Recent Cyber Threats

In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host David Chipley covers several pressing cybersecurity issues. Cisco has patched a maximum severity zero-day vulnerability in its Async OS software, which has been exploited by a Chinese state-linked group. Fortinet has also addressed a critical vulnerability in its 40 Seam product, which is being actively exploited in the wild. The Dutch National Police are still recovering from a Citrix breach, emphasizing the need for modern infrastructure. Meanwhile, a spear-phishing campaign targeting US organizations uses Venezuela-themed lures. The episode wraps up with a discussion on a recent study revealing that training AI to produce insecure code can lead to broader problematic behaviour.
