The email seen by at least some customers of the Emma email platform was a phishing scam. Hackers hoped to inspire instant panic with the words, 'As part of our commitment to supporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), we will be adding a Support ICE donation button to the footer of every email sent through our platform.'
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-20393 (CVSS score: 10.0), is a remote command execution flaw arising as a result of insufficient validation of HTTP requests by the Spam Quarantine feature. Successful exploitation of the defect could permit an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the underlying operating system of an affected appliance. However, for the attack to work, three conditions must be met - The appliance is running a vulnerable release of Cisco AsyncOS Software The appliance is configured with the Spam Quarantine feature The Spam Quarantine feature is exposed to and reachable from the internet
Generative models learn an executive's tone and syntax from public posts, press releases and meeting transcripts. Attackers then craft messages indistinguishable from authentic correspondence. But the real innovation isn't the text, it's the choreography. A fraudulent email may serve only as the opening move. Within minutes, the target receives a confirming voice message that sounds like the executive whose name appears in the signature block. A deepfaked video may follow, asking for "final authorization." Email opens the door; other channels walk through it.
If a scammer wanted to build a file on you, they'd start by looking for your date of birth, your location and the names of the people closest to you. Many of us save them the trouble.

I'm far from an IT expert, but as part of my job I regularly interact with patients online, including emails about medications and prescriptions.

Security researchers employed ChatGPT as a co-conspirator to plunder sensitive data from Gmail inboxes without alerting users. The vulnerability exploited has been closed by OpenAI but it's a good example of the new risks inherent to agentic AI. The heist, called Shadow Leak and published by security firm Radware this week, relied on a quirk in how AI agents work.
