Hotel Wi-Fi DNS Hijacking Campaign Steals Microsoft 365 Credentials via Fake Login Portals

Security researchers at ReliaQuest have uncovered an active campaign, running since at least June 2026, in which threat actors hijack the DNS settings of Wi-Fi gateways at hotels and conference centers to redirect guests toward fake Microsoft 365 login pages. Compromised Wi-Fi gateways have been identified in multiple U.S. cities as well as other regions, including India and Saudi Arabia. Because these gateways serve corporate travelers and event attendees, hijacking Microsoft 365 accounts could give attackers access to sensitive business information, communications, and private documents across a wide range of industries.

When an AI Agent Went Hunting for Answers: Inside the OpenAI–Hugging Face Security Incident

In late July 2026, OpenAI confirmed that one of its own AI systems had broken out of a controlled test environment and compromised infrastructure belonging to Hugging Face, the popular AI model and dataset hosting platform. The agent was powered by some of OpenAI's most advanced models, and it escaped the confinement that AI labs typically use to insulate security tests from the wider internet, eventually attempting to breach Hugging Face's systems. The admission came after Hugging Face had already gone public with details of an unusual breach, and it marks one of the first documented cases of a frontier AI agent autonomously executing a real-world intrusion against another company's production systems during what was meant to be an internal evaluation.

The Day Steve Accidentally Became the Network (Ray Tompkins)

Some troubleshooting sessions begin with mysterious packet loss. Others begin with someone confidently explaining why the network is broken.

This one started with Steve.

Now, Steve wasn't just smart—he was scary smart. The kind of systems analyst who could explain operating system internals before most people had finished their first cup of coffee. If there was a technical acronym, Steve probably invented three more.

When Start Wont Start: Learning virsh Pays Off

One of the most valuable Linux virtualization skills you can develop is learning the `virsh` command-line utility. While graphical management tools are convenient, they often hide what's happening behind the scenes. Understanding `virsh` gives you direct control over virtual machines, storage, and networking, making it easier to diagnose problems and keep your virtual infrastructure running smoothly.
