  • Outlook Add In Hijacked to Steal Accounts

    Outlook Add In Hijacked to Steal Accounts
    Feb 16 2026

    Outlook add ins can really improve the user experience of the application, allowing for extended capabilities. However if a developer abandons an add in project and leaves it without updates without properly removing it or discontinuing support it could lead to threat actors hijacking a trusted add in and using it to steal information.

    Feb 9 2026

    The Shiny Hunters failed to extort Panera in a data theft attack and leaked the data found. Thankfully the damage seems rather minimal as the information is, for the most part, not all that sensitive.
