1. Iran attacks Gulf states and shipping after seventh night of U.S. strikes
-- Iran renewed attacks on U.S. Gulf allies and said it stopped four vessels in the Strait of Hormuz after U.S. forces struck military sites and enforced a naval blockade.
-- With one-fifth of global oil supply routed through Hormuz, the widening fight over commercial transit pushed Brent up 4.3% to $88.26 and increases disruption risk for energy and shipping markets.
2. Ukrainian drone strike kills seven at Moscow logistics center
-- A Ukrainian attack involving about 370 drones killed seven night-shift workers and wounded 24 at a logistics center near Moscow, according to a Russian local official cited by France 24.
-- The scale and reach of the barrage increase security risk for civilian supply chains far inside Russia, threatening warehouse capacity and regional deliveries.
3. Iran-linked mobile tracking targets U.S. personnel during war
-- Attempts to track U.S. military personnel exploited regional roaming networks and advertising technology, with some activity linked to an Iranian mobile operator, Citizen Lab reported.
-- Real-time location data obtained through SS7 access or commercial ad systems could reveal troop movements without compromising hardened military networks, turning ordinary phones into operational-security liabilities.
4. WordPress core flaw enables unauthenticated remote code execution
-- A newly disclosed vulnerability allows anonymous requests to execute code on default WordPress 6.9 and 7.0 installations; fixes shipped in versions 6.9.5 and 7.0.2.
-- Because exploitation requires neither credentials nor a vulnerable plugin, the flaw creates immediate security risk for unpatched sites and exposes customer data and web infrastructure to takeover.
