Chrome's First Zero-Day and LVMH's $25 Million Fine [Prime Cyber Insights]

February 17, 2026 / 04:54/E952

This episode of Prime Cyber Insights examines a surge in critical vulnerabilities and major regulatory actions. We lead with CISA’s urgent three-day mandate for federal agencies to patch a BeyondTrust Remote Support flaw exploited by Silk Typhoon. We then analyze the first Chrome zero-day of 2026 and a sophisticated Apple dyld vulnerability used in targeted attacks. The discussion shifts to the financial consequences of security failures, highlighted by South Korea’s $25 million fine against LVMH brands Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany following data breaches. We also explore the Odido mobile breach affecting 6.2 million customers, Microsoft’s warning on ClickFix DNS malware, and the brand-weaponizing tactics of Operation DoppelBrand. Finally, we look at the NCSC's warning to SMEs and a new study uncovering recovery vulnerabilities in major cloud password managers.

In this episode of Prime Cyber Insights, we dive into a high-urgency week for cybersecurity professionals, starting with CISA’s rare three-day patching order for BeyondTrust instances under active exploit. We explore the arrival of 2026’s first major browser zero-days in Chrome and Apple’s ecosystem, while assessing the massive $25 million regulatory fine handed down to LVMH-owned luxury brands. The team also breaks down the Odido breach in the Netherlands and the rise of DNS-abusing malware like ClickFix. Featuring expert analysis from Chad Thompson, we connect these infrastructure threats to the evolving tactics of state-backed actors and financial extortion groups.
