The Target: GlobalLogic, a provider of digital engineering services part of the Hitachi group.
The Take: The data stolen in the breach includes personal information collected by GlobalLogic's human resources and, depending on the affected individual, it includes name, address, phone number, and emergency contact (name and phone number). The attackers also exfiltrated the email addresses, dates of birth, nationalities, countries of birth, passport information, national identifiers or tax identifiers (e.g., Social Security Numbers), salary information, and bank account details of impacted employees.
The Vector: In a breach notification letter filed with the office of Maine's Attorney General, the company states that the attackers exploited an Oracle EBS zero-day vulnerability to steal personal information belonging to 10,471 employees.
This breach is critical reminder that zero-day exploits do happen, and furthermore that patching software in a timely, effective manner is a key component of ensuring customer data is protected. Ensuring third-party vendors are deploying patches and fixes in accordance with a firm’s cybersecurity policy is an important step in an overall robust security posture.
Forbes: Zero trust (ZT) models transformed cybersecurity by upending how organizations think about and guard against threats. But can this strategy for safeguarding data, people and systems translate into successful techniques for building high-performance cultures?
TechCrunch: Deepwatch, a cybersecurity firm that makes an AI-powered detection and response platform, laid off dozens of employees, citing AI as one of the reasons.
CSO Online: Google is asking to a US court for help in dismantling the infrastructure behind the Lighthouse phishing-as-a-service operation, the latest effort by a technology company to use the legal system to put a dent in cybercrime.
The Record: After more than four years of development and multiple delays, the British government introduced its landmark Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to Parliament, threatening large fines for companies that fail to protect themselves from cyberattacks.
Tech in Asia: Tenzai, an Israeli cybersecurity startup founded in May 2025 by former Guardicore executives, has raised US$75 million in a seed round led by Battery Ventures, Greylock Partners, and Lux Capital.
CSO Online: Two cybersecurity laws that lapsed during the government shutdown moved closer to restoration after the Senate voted 60-40 to advance legislation extending them through January 2026.
Banking Exchange: Bank of America has pledged to accelerate its investment in AI, automation, and digital banking as part of its strategy to fuel growth across all business lines.
The Target: Capita is a major UK-based outsourcing and professional services company that provides consulting, digital, and software services to local councils, the NHS, the Ministry of Defense, and organizations in the banking, utilities, and telecommunications sectors.
The Take: Hackers had accessed 4% of Capita’s internal IT infrastructure, and exfiltrated private files hosted on the breached systems.
The Vector: The company announced that it had been targeted by hackers who attempted access to its internal Microsoft 365 environment, forcing some systems offline as part of its response.
This breach highlights the extreme importance of timely software updates for known software vulnerabilities, not only in systems directly under a firm’s control, but in third-party systems the firm relies upon as well. The longer a firm, or its vendors, hold out on deploying the most up-to-date software for their systems, the greater the chance an attacker will exploit the issue.
Business Wire: Armis, the cyber exposure management and security company, announced a pre-IPO funding round of $435 million, bringing the company’s valuation to $6.1 billion.
