 Hackers have created basically large phishing cites which appear to look like the official TikTok shop. The are offering "products" in exchange for cypto. Additionally the pages seem to contain a variant of the cross platform malware called SparkKitty which is capable of scraping data from iOS and Android devices. Through this the hackers are also able to steal credentials and purchase more. Resorces: https://thehackernews.com/2025/08/15000-fake-tiktok-shop-domains-deliver.html

The National Guard was called in last Friday July 25th in Saint Paul Minnesota due to a large scale cyber attack which knocked out online payments to the city as well as some library services. Supposedly the Nation Guard was called in to provide extra cyber resources as well as the Minnesota Information Technology Services and an unnamed third party. From the reporting around this incident and the seemingly wide spread of the effect we can assume it was rather serious. There has been limited reporting since the attack which leads me to believe they have yet to find how who/how this attack was carried out. There has been little public discussion much less uproar about the hack so maybe we will never know. Could probably ask the cyber department at metro but idk I'm a little lazy. https://cyberr3sblog.blogspot.com/2025/08/week-11-saint-paul-cyber-attack.html
