SECURITY Affairs’ Round 571 INTERNATIONAL EDITION, written by Pierluigi Paganini, landed on 5 April 2026 and curates the week’s top security stories for international readers.

It also notes a technical security update: the U.S.
CISA added a flaw in the TrueConf Client to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CERT-EU reported that data from 30 EU entities was exposed in a European Commission breach. Other items in the round cover the emergence of CrystalX RAT, described as a MaaS malware that combines spyware, a stealer, and remote access capabilities, and coverage of Hasbro reportedly being hit by a cyberattack under investigation for a possible data breach.
