President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% "secondary tariffs" on Russian trading partners unless a peace agreement is reached to end the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, bemoaned Vladimir Putins persistent missile strikes on Kyiv in spite of diplomatic discussions. The tariffs, which are intended to economically isolate Moscow, would be imposed on nations that do business with Russia. In order to strengthen Ukraines defences, Trump simultaneously announced a huge NATO arms sale that included Patriot missile systems and was financed by countries like Germany, Canada, and Sweden. As bipartisan support for even more severe sanctions on Russia and its enablers builds, Trumps approach changes from accommodative to aggressive. Read More..

Gravity Forms Plugin Hijacked in Supply Chain Attack—Malware Enables Full Site Takeover

Users of the wellknown WordPress plugin Gravity Forms were at danger of malware and remote code execution RCE after it was compromised in a supply cha

Users of the wellknown WordPress plugin Gravity Forms were at danger of malware and remote code execution RCE after it was compromised in a supply chain attack. The malicious versions 2.9.11.1 and 2.9.12 were momentarily accessible through manual downloads from the developers website, RocketGenius, on July 10–11, according to security firm PatchStack. The hijacked files generated hidden admin accounts for complete control, restricted changes, and collected site metadata. The automatic update of the Gravity API service was not impacted.
