@TheHackersNews Microservice side dish for 2026

IBM disclosed a critical flaw in API Connect that lets attackers bypass login and gain remote access. The issue, CVSS 9.8, affects versions 10.0.8.0–10.0.8.5 and 10.0.11.0. No active exploitation seen, but fixes are advised now. 🔗 Read → thehackernews.com/2025/12/ibm-wa…

Worth noting: this isn’t just an API bug .. API Connect often sits in front of core systems. An auth bypass here can mean lateral movement into internal services, token theft, and downstream compromise. If it’s internet-facing, treat this like a perimeter vuln and patch immediately.

A transaction of this magnitude should be decided by a full Commission vote — not in backroom deals. The FCC must be transparent and accountable to the American people, especially as it moves to censor and control companies it disagrees with.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome
