Cybercrime now accounts for more than 30 percent of all offenses across the Asia and South Pacific (ASP) region, according to the latest figures from Interpol. The international cop shop said on Wednesday that the region has seen “a dramatic increase” in the number of recorded cybercrimes, driven largely by an uptake of digital infrastructure, new technologies, and the increasingly organized nature of criminal networks. Interpol’s latest ASP Cyberthreat Assessment Report states that online scams and phishing attacks dominate cybercrime in the region. Data taken from 2024-2025 shows that phishing campaigns have matured beyond the spray-and-pray mass emails of yesteryear and now resemble the more sophisticated techniques deployed elsewhere in the world. Targeted spear phishing is more common nowadays, and the growing use of AI helps even low-skilled script kiddies to apply a layer of authenticity to their attacks. The region’s problem with organized scamming gangs that run camps where hundreds of people are compelled to commit crimes is especially pronounced and well-documented. A United Nations report published last year described scam call centers across Southeast Asia as an epidemic that is metastasizing across the region “like a cancer.” These compounds can be found across countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and the Philippines, and often see vulnerable individuals trafficked into the scam centers to work under poor conditions – or even as slaves. Interpol cited Singaporean research, which estimated the regional scam industry generates close to $40 billion each year. AI tools, especially those capable of generating convincing deepfake imagery, have also proven popular with cybercriminals across ASP, just as they have beyond the region. In 2024, the same scam compounds were found using deepfake imagery to support romance scams. In February 2024, an employee at a multinational business in Hong Kong was duped into authorizing a $25 million payment because the faces of company execs were convincingly deepfaked on a video call. A similar case was also reported in Singapore in March 2025, when a finance director at a different multinational was tricked into transferring more than $499 million following a Zoom call in which fraudsters assumed the identities of company chiefs, including the CEO and CFO. Interpol’s report highlights how cyber threats are evolving into large-scale challenges for multiple jurisdictions, and no longer represent relatively uncommon, isolated incidents. While digitization across the region is growing, opening new economic opportunities for these countries, law enforcement agencies are struggling to keep pace with the increase in cybercrime. Many lack the skills and tools needed to investigate these crimes. The issue is especially pronounced in developing countries and small island states in the Pacific, which face “significant resource and capacity constraints,” and are thus more vulnerable to direct targeting in attacks by criminals who have a greater chance of evading consequences. Neal Jetton, cybercrime director at Interpol, said: “The findings in this report highlight a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape across Asia and the South Pacific, where cybercriminals are leveraging artificial intelligence, ransomware-as-a-service models, and sophisticated social engineering techniques on an industrial scale. “As digital adoption accelerates across the region, strengthening operational cooperation, information sharing, and cyber resilience remains essential to protecting communities and critical infrastructure.” Some improvement Interpol lauded many jurisdictions and governments within the ASP region for their proactive approaches to countering cybercrime growth. Hong Kong and the Republic of Korea are two areas that have made strides by introducing new cybersecurity legislation, while others have established national task forces, codified national action plans, and launched awareness campaigns. But even in more developed countries globally, and those with more mature cybersecurity regulatory and legislative landscapes, the issue of increasing rates of cybercrime persists. While Interpol does not collect cybercrime figures for other regions, such as Europe and North America, in the same way that it does for ASP, it’s easy to see that problems persist everywhere. The UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes crime rates by type across England and Wales each year, and while computer misuse offenses in 2025 decreased by 58 percent compared to 2017’s figures, there were still an estimated 735,000 cases across the year. Expanding the data to look beyond pure cyber offenses to cyber-supported crimes, such as banking and credit fraud, these offenses account for more than 2.7 million of the circa 9.6 million total crimes committed. The FBI in the US produces its annual IC3 report examining the rates of cybercrime across the country. Although it doesn’t compare it to total offenses or other crime types, the latest report reflecting 2025’s figures showed cybercrime reports topped one million for the first time, and total losses reached a record $20.87 billion. ®

Account theft usually ends with someone losing a password. This one ends with hackers walking off with the entire game.

Developers behind some of Roblox’s millions of games told 404 Media that attackers persuaded them to run a single file. Then they watched their group, their game, and their Robux (in-platform currency) balance vanish into someone else’s account within hours. In several cases, Roblox support didn’t help them get the games back until a reporter called the company for comment.

From beaming to hostile takeover

Roblox attacks used to be opportunistic. “Beamers” targeted individual players to steal rare hats, limited items, and accounts, then resold them. The pattern has shifted. The new targets are developer accounts, and the prize is the game itself.

Ioannis Matziaris told 404 Media that his two 20-year-old sons spent five years building a Roblox game called The Shadow Network. In April, attackers approached one of them with a job offer and convinced him to run a particular file. It was malware. The attackers stole control of the game, the group’s Roblox account, and their Robux balance.

Another developer, Jovan Rai, received the same project-manager job pitch. This time, the attackers were impersonating Cheesy Studios, the Matziaris brothers’ company, to lend the offer credibility. The 15-year-old was earning roughly 10,000 Robux (around $38) per day from his game. He spent more than 30 days trying to recover it through Roblox support before media attention helped move the case forward.

The malware behind the theft

Developer Mohamed Kaparoza described how the attack worked. Attackers contacted him on Discord, dangled a project-manager role, and asked him to install a Python package called “robase,” which they claimed was a database tool. Shortly after installing it, he was logged out of Roblox on both his PC and his phone. His Discord account went with it, and his two-step verification settings and passkey were changed.

This is a case of session-token theft, rather than credential theft. Once an infostealer steals an authenticated browser session, attackers can often bypass security measures such as two-factor authentication (2FA) because they are reusing a session that has already been authenticated.

The technique itself isn’t new. We reported on a similar campaign in January 2025 that targeted Roblox players with offers to beta test new games. The “installer” was actually an infostealer designed to steal data, including Discord and Steam sessions, and cryptocurrency wallet information.

What developers can do

If you build Roblox games, the defensive advice is unglamorous and mostly behavioral.

• Treat unsolicited Discord job offers with caution. If a stranger asks you to install a “database tool,” a custom installer, or any file at all, do not run it.
• Developers who need to test unfamiliar software should do so in an isolated environment, such as a virtual machine, rather than on a device where they are signed in to Roblox, Discord, GitHub, or other important accounts.
• Review active Roblox sessions and signed-in devices regularly, and switch on Roblox’s Enhanced Protection features where available. They won’t stop session-stealer malware, but they can help protect against many other forms of account compromise.
• If the worst happens, document everything as early as possible. Keep records of messages, screenshots, account changes, and support requests to help with any recovery process.
• Use security software with real-time protection. Malwarebytes Premium can detect and block infostealers and other malware before they compromise your accounts.

UPDATED If you have a Fortinet firewall, it's time to stop and change your passwords. Intruders somehow gained access to around 75,000 Fortinet firewall devices and stole credentials belonging to major corporations across 194 countries, in some cases leading to full network compromise. Security researchers say that they have verified the data, and the cracked FortiGate passwords belong to accounts spanning multinational corporations including FoxConn, Samsung, Comcast, Siemens, Lenovo, FedEx, PxW, Accenture, Oracle and many others. Check to see if your organization made the list of affected domains – and immediately rotate all passwords associated with Fortinet VPN and administrative interfaces. Make sure multi-factor authentication is turned on, too, as this type of massive credential leak can lead to very serious consequences, giving attackers full, remote access to not only the firewall but the entire corporate network. Hudson Rock, which analyzed the data, said the leak affects 21,632 unique domains. “The scale of this breach touches nearly every sector of the global economy, sparing no industry. The threat actors have built a verified database of working credentials for some of the largest enterprises on the planet,” the security shop said on its Infostealer blog. Researcher Volodymyr “Bob” Diachenko first spotted the intrusions and attributed them to a Russian-speaking group. “They intercept SSL VPN authentication, crack hashes on a 45-GPU cluster managed via Hashtopolis, and pivot into internal Active Directory environments,” he wrote on LinkedIn. “The operation processed 1.16 billion credential attempts against 320,777 FortiGate targets and 2.1 billion attempts against 163,650 MSSQL servers.” Plus, according to Diachenko, the criminals fully pwned at least four organizations, including a Turkish NATO defense contractor, and, in that case, stole classified defense documents. Security sleuth Kevin Beaumont, who also verified the stolen credentials, said “the data is legit.” “I have worked with several orgs listed, and can confirm the logins and passwords are real,” Beaumont wrote. “Many of the devices sampled are on fairly recent patches.” According to device search engine Shodan, the massive heist comprises about half of all internet-facing Fortinet firewalls. Plus, Beaumont noted, most of the compromised Fortinet devices remain online. So if you’re still reading this story: stop now, and go reset your Fortinet firewall passwords stat. After we first published this story, Fortinet responded to us, denying that the attacks are fresh and claiming that the data showing up on the dark web comes from prior breaches. "Based on our analysis, the data involved is a resharing of data from previous incidents, as well as bruteforcing of credentials, and is not related to any recent incident or advisory," a Fortinet spokesperson told El Reg. Organizations that follow routine best practices, including regularly refreshing security credentials, as per guidance in this March blog, face minimal risk from credential compromise detail referenced in the reporting.” The Register reached out to the companies affected by the so-called FortiBleed campaign for comment, Lenovo said it was looking into it; we didn't receive responses from the others. ® Updated at 2118 with a statement from Fortinet.

Researchers have analyzed a new Android banking Trojan called Rokarolla. It can effectively take over a device, steal banking and crypto login details from more than 200 apps, and quietly monitor much of what you do on your phone.

On an infected device, Rokarolla steals banking and crypto login details. It also uses fake lock-screen overlays to capture your PIN, pattern, or password.

When you open one of the banking or crypto apps on Rokarolla’s target list, the malware downloads and displays a matching fake login page over the real app. Anything you type into the fake page, including usernames, passwords, and card numbers, is sent to the attackers.

Separately, Rokarolla abuses Android’s Accessibility features to monitor activity across the device. It can recognize WhatsApp screens by looking for familiar labels such as “Chats” and “Calls,” extract contact information, read SMS messages, and send new ones. These capabilities can help it intercept one-time passwords (OTPs) and two-factor authentication (2FA) codes.

Rokarolla can take control of text messages and phone calls, helping it block security alerts and hide signs of fraud.

It can also record everything you type and see on the screen. If you copy and paste a cryptocurrency wallet address, the malware can secretly replace it with one belonging to the attackers.

Other features help the malware stay hidden, including the ability to hide its icon, silence the device, turn off Google Play Protect, and prevent the screen from going to sleep.

How it spreads

Rokarolla is distributed through rogue websites, where it is offered as fake versions of popular apps like TikTok or Chrome.

Instead of sending you to the official Google Play Store, these malicious sites push you to download the app directly, a process known as sideloading. After you install it, the fake app poses as Google Play Protect and quietly downloads and installs the malware that carries out the attack.

To gain the access it needs, the fake app asks for powerful permissions, including Accessibility access, the permission to read SMS messages, and access to notifications. Because these requests can look legitimate, many users may approve them without realizing the risks.

How to stay safe

To avoid banking Trojans like Rokarolla, there are a few guidelines you should follow:

• Don’t trust apps that claim to be Google Play Protect or another system component. You should never need to install these manually.
• Use up-to-date, real-time anti-malware protection with web protection on your devices.
• Don’t sideload apps that are available on the Google Play Store. While malware can sometimes slip into official stores, the risk is much greater elsewhere.
• Deny powerful permissions to apps downloaded from links or websites, especially if they ask for Accessibility access, SMS permissions, or the ability to handle calls, even though that doesn’t match their stated purpose.
• In fact, any request for Accessibility access should be treated with caution. If an app that is not clearly an accessibility tool asks for it, deny the request and reconsider whether you trust the source.
• Scrutinize banking and crypto login screens. If something looks off, or you see multiple login prompts, close the app and relaunch it from its official icon.

Europe, like much of the world, is living through a period of heightened geopolitical uncertainty in which sanctions risk, legal divergence, and cyber disruption have moved from abstract concerns to board-level variables. Digital sovereignty is shifting from aspiration to operational requirement, driven by resilience expectations, critical service dependency, and rising geopolitical and cyber risk. Definitions of sovereignty vary, ranging from blanket data localization edicts to industrial policy to national security, but the absence of an agreed definition should not be mistaken for an absence of intent. Sovereignty is already shaping procurement, regulatory compliance, and technology strategy. From my years working at the intersection of government and the technology industry, I have seen how quickly digital policy can harden into operational constraints. I have also seen how easily "sovereignty" becomes a stand-in for broader concerns: dependency, geopolitics, and the fear that critical services may not remain available during a crisis Two issues are at play. First, policymakers are right that over-dependency on foreign technology can become a national resilience problem. Cloud market concentration is a case in point: last year across Europe, the three leading cloud providers accounted for around 70 percent of the market, while European providers' collective share remained around 15 percent. Concentration is not, by itself, a security failure, but it is a strategic dependency that can become acute when legal regimes diverge, access is contested, or a geopolitical shock tightens the room to maneuver. It also amplifies the "ripple effect": disruption at a small number of providers can cascade across thousands of organizations and supply chains. Second, business leaders are right to worry that blunt sovereignty initiatives raise costs and regulatory complexity. A hard localization mandate or a "sovereign-only stack" duplicates infrastructure, slows modernization, and in practice keeps organizations tied to legacy systems longer than planned while limiting access to leading technologies. The same tension is shaping Europe's competitiveness debate. Former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi has argued that security is a precondition for sustainable growth and that deep dependencies can leave Europe vulnerable to coercion as geopolitical volatility increases. The question is not whether sovereignty matters but how to pursue it without turning it into a counterproductive procurement ideology. From policy to platform choice A recent decision by the French government to restrict certain foreign-made video conferencing tools in favor of a homegrown alternative illustrates the direction of travel across the EU. Whether one agrees with the decision or not, it signals something larger: sovereignty is becoming a set of practical constraints that can reshape technology choices quickly. Many organizations are responding with a third, damaging outcome: delay. In a recent Zscaler-commissioned survey, 73 percent of respondents said digital sovereignty concerns had caused them to delay or cancel transformation initiatives. That "pause dynamic" is dangerous because it prolongs exposure to legacy risk, weakens cyber readiness, and leaves organizations less able to absorb disruption from ransomware, supply chain compromise, systemic outages, or sudden changes in cross-border rules at a time when the threat landscape is shifting faster than ever. If Europe wants sovereignty that strengthens resilience rather than undermines it, political and business leaders need a framework that is practical, measurable, compatible with open markets, and informed by the technology sector's expertise. Here is one: control, choice, and continuity. An outcome-based framework Sovereignty begins with what an organization can control in practice: who can access data, who can administer systems, whether a vendor can see customer content, where logs are stored, how keys are managed, what subcontractors can see, and how policies can be enforced. Control is not about isolation; it is about enforceable governance and reducing hidden dependency. Sovereignty also requires choice: credible options when assumptions break. Too many organizations discover too late that their "vendor strategy" is really a dependency strategy, with few realistic alternatives. Choice is not achieved by buying two of everything. It is achieved through architecture and contracts that keep an organization mobile and avoid vendor lock-in: portability for data and configurations; full transparency on who they rely on, where access sits, and which jurisdictions and subcontractors are in the chain; and pre-agreed exit paths that can be executed under time pressure. It also requires leaders to prevent the sovereignty debate from becoming an excuse to stop transformation. Every program facing sovereignty constraints should be forced through a decision path: redesign, mitigation, or exit on a timeline. The third C is continuity: keeping critical services running during any kind of disruption. If sovereignty is meant to reduce strategic vulnerability, continuity is where it either becomes real or becomes theater. Continuity is measurable through recovery time objectives, tested failover, supplier-failure drills, and exercises for jurisdiction-change scenarios. Across Europe, the urgency is reinforced by the threat environment. Zscaler ThreatLabz data shows rising numbers of damaging ransomware attacks year over year across the region: Spain (+116 percent), Germany (+74 percent), Belgium (+73 percent), Italy (+53 percent), and France (+34 percent) among others. Separate research on resilience found that 52 percent of IT executives believe their current security measures are insufficient to defend against existing or emerging threats such as agent-based AI and quantum computing. The UK's National Cyber Security Centre, meanwhile, reported a 130 percent rise in "nationally significant" incidents over the past year. AI is accelerating these risks. It already gives "bad actors" new capabilities to increase the speed, scale, and sophistication of their attacks. The question is not whether disruption happens, but whether systems can withstand it. Mandate outcomes, not vendors Business leaders argue that sovereignty will raise costs, increase compliance friction, and shrink access to leading technology. That is often true. Policymakers' concerns are also legitimate: strategic dependency can undermine national security and resilience. The mistake is writing sovereignty rules that dictate which vendors to buy rather than what controls buyers must have to keep services running during shocks. The most useful sovereignty requirements are outcome-based: enforceable control over access and data, credible choice through portability and exit, proven continuity through testing and recovery. They create room for organizations to use global platforms safely while meeting local requirements, without freezing modernization. If sovereignty is now an operating requirement, every stakeholder has a role. Boards should define what "sovereign enough" means for their organization, then require regular reporting and testing, with incentives tied to resilience outcomes. CEOs and COOs should treat sovereignty as continuity, fund the modernization that reduces brittle legacy dependency, and force decisions on blocked programs. CIOs and CISOs should map and minimize third-party access, implement localization and multi-region resilience where required, and build plans for supplier failure and jurisdiction-change scenarios. Regulators should clarify definitions, harmonize requirements where possible, and create compliance pathways with transition periods that reward modernization rather than incentivize delay. The approach must be risk-based and agreed in consultation with industry. Scaling control, choice and continuity To make control, choice and continuity achievable at scale, two additional disciplines are required: collaboration and compliance. Collaboration keeps sovereignty compatible with openness through interoperability, shared incident readiness, transparent subcontracting, and trusted vendor partnerships that reduce concentration risk instead of merely relocating it. Solutions must be tailored for local demands and drive investment in local ecosystems. Compliance makes sovereignty measurable through clear definitions, auditable evidence, and regulatory approaches that focus on operational controls so that organizations are pushed to modernize rather than to delay. Sovereignty on European terms should be judged by outcomes rather than rhetoric: whether organizations can govern access, keep options open, recover quickly when incidents happen, and continue delivering critical services when dependencies fail. Done well, digital sovereignty becomes a catalyst for resilience, innovation, growth and competitiveness; done bluntly, it becomes a brake on the very transformation it is meant to protect.

For security teams, the findings never stop, but confidence in knowing which ones matter is becoming harder to maintain. The problem is no longer visibility. It's validation. Security teams must decide which findings warrant action while operating under constant pressure and incomplete information. Increasingly, the challenge is not discovering potential risks. It is determining which risks

Cisco has updated a February security advisory, adding another product to the list of those affected by the maximum-severity CVE-2026-20127. Switchzilla made a small amendment to the original advisory on Tuesday evening, noting that Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Validator, formerly vBond, was also among the boxes attackers could pop open. Readers may remember the fuss over CVE-2026-20127 (10.0) a few months ago. The make-me-admin improper authentication flaw prompted a Five Eyes alert since attackers could essentially gain persistent root access to all vulnerable instances. In other words, it's a far-from-ideal situation that could could create espionage opportunities, given the prevalence of Cisco's SD-WAN offerings in Western networks. Cisco said at the time that attackers could exploit CVE-2026-20127 to gain admin rights, access NETCONF, and reconfigure the SD-WAN fabric, before exploiting CVE-2022-20775 (7.8), a path traversal flaw discovered in September 2022, to gain root access. Cisco Talos, the company's threat intel arm, posited that the bug could have been exploited for as long as three years by the time it was discovered. Talos attributed the exploitation activity to a group it tracks as UAT-8616, whose activity dates back to at least 2023, according to its researchers' estimates. No one has formally attributed UAT-8616 to a specific country or group of individuals, but experts say that it is a highly sophisticated outfit that has a history of targeting critical infrastructure sectors. Ollie Whitehouse, NCSC-UK's CTO, said at the time: "Our new alert makes clear that organizations using Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN products should urgently investigate their exposure to network compromise and hunt for malicious activity, making use of the new threat hunting advice produced with our international partners to identify evidence of compromise. "UK organizations are strongly advised to report compromises to the NCSC, and to apply vendor updates and hardening guidance as soon as practicable to reduce the risk of exploitation." The Register asked Cisco for more information, but it did not immediately respond. Customers should not have to make any new changes, provided that they upgraded their software to a fixed version across all systems when the advisory was first published in February, not just SD-WAN Controller and SD-WAN Manager. The update comes weeks after Cisco disclosed another zero-day affecting Catalyst SD-WAN, suggesting that it had been exploited for at least a week at the time. Tracked as CVE-2026-20245, it marked the sixth SD-WAN flaw disclosed this year, and the second to be exploited as a zero-day in as many months. ®

The Homebrew team has released version 6.0 of this popular open-source package manager for macOS and Linux, with a new mechanism for trusting packages and support for sandboxing on Linux, to align with existing sandboxing on macOS. Homebrew 6.0 introduces tap trust, a "tap" being a collection of formulae, casks (a package of pre-compiled binaries) and commands which usually reside in a Git repository. The tool trusts official Homebrew taps by default, but requires an explicit agreement before it will trust third-party taps (which can include arbitrary Ruby code) before they install or run any code. Tap trust is part of Homebrew’s approach to supply chain security, which has a number of distinctive features. Package maintainers are Homebrew maintainers, not the authors of the package. Names are maintainer-curated, so typosquats (giving a package a misleading name designed to be similar to one that is popular) can be rejected. Each download is pinned to a sha256 checksum. Package binaries are built from source, which protected Homebrew from incidents like the Trivy compromise earlier this year when official Trivy binaries were replaced with malicious versions. These and other features of Homebrew security are described in the documentation. Project leader Mike McQuaid told us that "Homebrew was less vulnerable 10-15 years ago than npm is today. The trust model is radically different and, even today, we are much quicker to break backwards compatibility in the interest of security." A new security feature is sandboxing on Linux when Homebrew compiles software. This was already implemented on macOS (and has been for a decade). Version 6.0 adds a Linux implementation based on the Bubblewrap project, and this will be on by default for developers. A new Homebrew sub-command, brew vulns, will check installed packages for known vulnerabilities, by checking against the OSV (vulnerability database for open source). The commands brew install and brew upgrade will now show a dependency summary and require a conformation prompt before running, called ask mode, following a developer survey earlier this year where this was highly requested. Another new command, brew exec, will run a Homebrew-provided executable, similar to the way npx works for npm packages. Homebrew startup performance in 6.0 is said to be faster, thanks to parallelised bottle fetching (a bottle is a pre-built package) and other optimizations. Apple is phasing out support for Intel macOS both for future versions of macOS and for Rosetta, the Intel compatibility layer. Homebrew is following: in September this year no new bottles will be built for macOS Intel and from September 2027 macOS Intel will be "unsupported entirely and all related code deleted," according to the post introducing Homebrew 6.0. Homebrew is well-liked by developers, and becoming more popular on Linux as well as macOS. There is some frustration though regarding the dropping of Intel support. "The deprecation of Intel support is agressive! Every Mac enthusiast I know who uses a Mac as a server uses their old machines, which are pretty much all Intel. We'll lose support from you guys a year before Apple!," said one. McQuaid replied noting that Homebrew will still work for a year after support is dropped to "Tier 3”, meaning almost unsupported, and added that "there’s nothing stopping you for doing the work to setup ‘Intelbrew’ and support it for the community." Another issue he mentioned is that GitHub is dropping macOS Intel runners for continuous integration towards the end of 2027. It is notable that Homebrew 6.0 made extensive use of AI coding. A document on responsible AI usage takes the line that AI contributions must be disclosed and human-reviewed, and that AI is not responsible for any code, rather the human contributor is responsible. "AI is great if used responsibly which means a human reviewing all changes both before PRs submitted and a maintainer reviewing before PRs are merged. I have found despite using it responsibly it has been a huge personal accelerator," McQuaid told us. ®
