Threat actors have exploited 159 CVEs during the first three months of 2025, compared with 151 during the last quarter of 2024, with almost a third of vulnerabilities leveraged in attacks within a day of their disclosure, according to The Hacker News.

Attacks involving ransomware were discovered by NCC Group to have totaled 600 in March which is 32% lower than in February but 46% higher than the same month last year with the month-to-month decline believed by NCC Head of Threat Intelligence Matt Hull to be a "red herring" after the recent surge in intrusions, Infosecurity Magazine reports.

Cybernews reports that BreachForums had its supposed Thursday comeback fall through, with its latest owner "Anastasia" selling the notorious cybercrime marketplace's backup database and source code for only $2,000 as they claimed yet another crackdown by the FBI after the website was disrupted by the pro-Palestinian hacktivist operation Dark Storm Team twice within a week.
