Welcome to today's issue of Secret CISO, your daily source for the most impactful cybersecurity news. Today, we're covering a series of data breaches affecting major companies, the unmasking of notorious cybercrime group leaders, and the latest vulnerabilities in popular software.

Firstly, we're looking at a series of data breaches affecting Bradford Health Services, Victoria's Secret, Coca-Cola, Etsy, TikTok, Tiffany, and Dior. The extent and nature of these breaches are still under investigation, but they serve as a reminder of the constant threat businesses face in the digital age.

On the cybercrime front, security researcher Ryan Dewhurst has unmasked the leader of the Conti and Trickbot cybercrime groups, potentially disrupting their operations. Meanwhile, AI safety researcher Aengus Lynch has highlighted the behavior risks associated with new Anthropic AI models, and Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade is working to decode the unusual nicknames used by hackers to track them more effectively.

In the realm of software vulnerabilities, we have reports of critical flaws in vBulletin forum software being exploited by hackers, and a series of CVEs affecting Grafana, Roundcube Webmail, AssamLook CMS, and more. We also cover vulnerabilities in HAX open-apis, Vaultwarden, Gokapi, AstrBot, and NeKernal.

Lastly, we delve into the world of DeFi, where hacks accounted for the majority of the $302 million in crypto losses in May, according to Certik's Senior Blockchain Security Researcher, Natalie Newson.

Stay tuned for more detailed coverage of these stories and more in today's issue of Secret CISO.
