Watering hole attacks attributed to APT29 are hitting visitors of compromised websites with zero-click exploit chains targeting unpatched iOS and Android devices, reportedly including CVE-2026-20700. The intrusions use hijacked analytics scripts to steal cookies, chat data and Wi-Fi passwords. Security commentators urge users to patch devices promptly.

Why now: A new mobile exploit campaign tied to a known Russian state-linked hacking group raises fresh concerns over unpatched phone vulnerabilities.
