A Malwarebytes Labs weekly roundup (26 October to 1 November) with headline-level detail only. It cites a reported $6.3 billion theft, a data leak of 41,000 Homeland Security workers, and a Quest breach exposing patient records. It also notes Chrome and Firefox security updates, an update for older and iPad models, malicious Firefox extensions impersonating crypto wallets, and a Popcorn Time updater left exposed to hijacking. No CVE IDs or affected versions are given, so defenders should consult the primary advisories before acting.
