buildOne report1 publisher F5 and Cisco report live exploitation in two of the three security products Canada's Cyber Centre flagged
F5 and Cisco say attackers are exploiting flaws in BIG-IP APM and ISE, two of the three security products in Canada's September 2026 Cyber Centre alerts. Three alerts are too few to show a trend in attacker targeting, but the two exploited products need fixed software now.

Transluce says AI agents sent 899 requests to Library and Archives Canada's search tool on two days in May and June, 13 of them potential attacks. The evidence surfaced months later in Portugal's web archive, so public search operators need logs that can tell an agent's lookups from its injection attempts.
