⚡ Weekly Recap: Password Manager Flaws, Apple 0-Day, Hidden AI Prompts, In-the-Wild Exploits & More. Cybersecurity today moves at the pace of global politics. A single breach can ripple across supply chains, turn a software flaw into leverage, or shift who holds the upper hand. For leaders, this means defense isn't just a matter of firewalls and patches—it's about strategy. The strongest organizations aren't the ones with the most tools, but the ones that see how cyber risks connect to business, trust, and power. This week's stories highlight how technical gaps become real-world pressure points—and why security decisions now matter far beyond IT. ⚡ Threat of the Week Popular Password Managers Affected by Clickjacking — Popular password manager plugins for web browsers have been found susceptible to clickjacking security vulnerabilities that could be exploited to steal account credentials, two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, and credit card details under certain conditions. The technique has been dubbed Document Object Model (DOM)-based extension clickjacking by independent security researcher Marek Tóth, who presented the findings at the DEF CON 33 security conference earlier this month. As of August 22, fixes have been released by Bitwarden, Dashlane, Enpass, KeePassXC-Browser, Keeper, LastPass, NordPass, ProtonPass, and RoboForm.

Lock It — When you drag a file into Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox, it feels "safe." But here's the catch: most clouds only encrypt files on their servers — they hold the keys, not you. That means if the provider is breached, subpoenaed, or a rogue admin pokes around, your "private" files aren't so private. The fix is simple: end-to-end encryption. You encrypt before uploading, so your files are locked on your device and can only be unlocked with your key. Even if the cloud is hacked, attackers see nothing but scrambled noise. Free, open-source tools that make this easy: Bottom line: If it's worth saving, it's worth locking. Don't trust the cloud with your keys. Conclusion Cybersecurity isn't just about technology—it's a test of leadership. The choices made in boardrooms shape how teams protect systems, respond to attacks, and recover from setbacks. This week's stories highlight a key truth: security comes down to decisions—where to invest, which risks to take, and which blind spots to fix. The best leaders don't promise perfect safety. Instead, they provide clarity, build resilience, and set direction when it matters most.
