Recent cybersecurity reports highlight several major incidents and enforcement actions. In Germany, the hacker group Anonymous claims to have leaked over 421,000 internal emails from the Russia-aligned AfD party. Meanwhile, a large-scale cybercrime crackdown in Africa resulted in 1,462 arrests and the recovery of more than USD 105 million.

Technical vulnerabilities and supply chain attacks were also noted, including the exploitation of Plex Media Server, vulnerabilities in Broadcom WiFi routers, and a supply chain attack on LiteLLM. Additionally, hackers hijacked five OVHcloud CLI releases to distribute malware, and a data breach at Capcom impacted approximately one million users.
