Lansing – October 19, 2026 -- Nexcess has made Acronis Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) available from October 19, 2026 as an add-on for any eligible server on its managed cloud platform, bundling real-time threat monitoring into the hosting relationship.

Nexcess targets AI-accelerated attacks with continuous server monitoring

Nexcess argues that artificial intelligence has removed two barriers to sophisticated attacks: the need for deep engineering expertise and months of patient reconnaissance. Acronis EDR is its response, monitoring how programs behave on a server, flagging activity that looks like an attack and keeping a record of what happened.

The company positions EDR as a step beyond antivirus, which blocks known threats. EDR instead monitors activity continuously, identifies suspicious patterns, and contains threats in real time. Customers receive the details and tools to respond.

Global – – October 19, 2026 -- Salesforce has disabled all Klue integrations after the threat group Icarus claimed on 19 June 2026 to have exfiltrated customer data through the market intelligence platform's Salesforce connection. Matching data points give high confidence that Icarus is behind the supply chain attack, according to the source analysis.

Attackers pushed token-stealing code on 11 June

The compromise began on 11 June, when anomalous behavior occurred in a system connecting Klue's various integrations. Attackers pushed a code update that could collect the OAuth tokens customers use to connect Klue to their own systems. Klue noticed the activity on 12 June, including unusual network connections to IP addresses the actor used to run commands on its backend servers.

On 13 June, Klue staff disabled the remote access, removed the token-theft code and sent customers a general alert. The alert did not say which customers were affected.

Unspecified location – October 19, 2026 -- Wiz Research found a critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-3854, that let any authenticated user execute arbitrary commands on GitHub's backend servers with a single git push command, and 88% of GitHub Enterprise Server instances remained vulnerable at the time of disclosure.
