Top Tech Headlines for July 27, 2025
Welcome back, tech friends! Today’s cybersecurity bulletin reads like a wake-up call. From a bold new hacking campaign targeting virtual environments to threats lurking behind IT infrastructure, today’s news is a reminder that digital resilience matters more than ever. Let’s dive into what’s happening.
Scattered Spider Goes After VMware ESXi Servers
The hacking group known as Scattered Spider is making headlines again—this time for launching a widespread campaign against VMware ESXi hypervisors across the U.S. The targets? Major companies in retail, airlines, transportation, and insurance. These virtual machines are often the backbone of enterprise operations, making them high-value targets.
Security experts warn that attackers are exploiting weak or exposed administrative interfaces to gain access and deploy ransomware. This wave of ESXi-focused intrusions highlights the need for securing virtualized infrastructure and ensuring offline recovery options—something Bootable USBs are great for.
Organizations are urged to patch vulnerabilities, reduce remote access exposure, and have a robust disaster recovery plan in place. If your virtual environment isn’t hardened, it’s time to re-evaluate before bad actors knock on the door.
