OpenSSL HollowByte Flaw Could Freeze Server Memory with 11-Byte TLS Requests

Eleven bytes will make an unpatched OpenSSL server set aside up to 131 KB of memory for a message that never arrives. On the glibc systems Okta tested, that memory is gone until the process restarts.

New NadMesh Botnet Hunts Exposed AI Services for Cloud Keys and Kubernetes Tokens

A Go botnet called NadMesh turned up in early July hunting exposed AI services, and the operator’s own dashboard claims 3,811 unique AWS keys. A Shodan harvester keeps the scan queue stocked with ComfyUI, Ollama, n8n, Open WebUI, Langflow, and Gradio: the image generators, local model runners, and workflow builders that teams stand up fast and firewall late. The intel feed behind that counter
