Following a recent blackout affecting Spain and Portugal, multiple warnings have emerged regarding a surge in related cyber scams and security vulnerabilities. Consumer group Facua has issued alerts about telephone scams promising false compensations linked to the power outage. Fraudsters are reportedly impersonating utility technicians and using phishing schemes, including fraudulent TAP Air refund offers, to deceive victims and gain access to bank accounts. Concurrently, cybersecurity firms and authorities have highlighted active exploitation of vulnerabilities in major technology products. Commvault confirmed that hackers exploited the zero-day vulnerability CVE-2025-3928 in an Azure breach. SonicWall also reported active exploitation of flaws affecting multiple appliance models, including a pre-authentication remote code execution chain. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned about exploited vulnerabilities in Broadcom and Commvault products. Experts emphasize that even resilient organizations remain vulnerable to emerging AI-related cyber threats, with attackers increasingly behaving like managed service providers to infiltrate systems. These developments underscore the evolving nature of cyber risks amid the backdrop of the Iberian blackout.
