TLDR

SecurityWeek reports that researchers used patterns in VPN-encrypted traffic to time packet drops, delaying clean-water pumping by about 15 minutes in an emulated system. Its roundup also covers an exploit targeting XWorm operators’ control panels and an AI-assisted Chrome exploit built by XBOW that earned a $250,000 Google bounty. Google has fixed all three bugs used in the Chrome exploit.
