The AI Agent You Can Trust
The best assistants don't multitask their attention across a hundred tools. Neither does Catch. It's an AI agent that focuses on one thing — the admin work you'd rather not touch — and does it exceptionally well.
Scheduling, flights, restaurants, follow-ups, vendors, clients. You hand it over; Catch handles the back-and-forth and comes back with it done.
No context-switching. No dropped balls. Just your admin, quietly cleared — so your focus stays on the work only you can do.
Meet the agent built for admin, and it'll be ready to work before your next meeting.

Over the last several days, threat activity clustered around managed endpoint administration, enterprise marketing automation, critical infrastructure, consumer network devices, government/legal data, and AI-accelerated attack workflows. N-able’s N-central issue shows how one RMM platform can become a path into many managed endpoints.
Adobe Campaign Classic shows that customer-engagement platforms can carry real code-execution risk. U.S. water-system incidents show operational technology remains exposed enough to invite trouble. Samsung smart TV app findings show consumer devices can become proxy infrastructure. UK police and government data exposure shows public-sector records remain extortion fuel. And CrowdStrike’s latest reporting says AI is increasingly both the weapon and the target.
Lovely weather for a Monday…
Trend (Macro) | Likelihood | Direction | Signal for the Week |
|---|---|---|---|
RMM and managed endpoint platform exploitation | 86% | 🔺 Rising | N-able N-central exploitation shows attackers are chasing one-to-many administrative access. |
Enterprise marketing / campaign platform RCE | 78% | 🔺 Rising | Adobe Campaign Classic CVSS 10.0 exposure creates risk to customer engagement systems and connected data. |
Water and OT system cyberattacks | 80% | 🔺 Rising | Multiple U.S. states reported water-system incidents tied to remote tampering and weak OT exposure. |
Consumer-device proxy abuse | 72% | 🔺 Rising | Smart TV apps sharing user internet connections show how consumer devices can become attacker infrastructure. |
Public-sector data exposure and extortion | 74% | 🔺 Rising | UK police and government contact data exposure creates safety, phishing, and operational trust risks. |
AI-accelerated vulnerability weaponization | 76% | 🔺 Rising | Threat reporting shows attackers using AI to weaponize vulnerabilities faster than traditional patch cycles. |
N-able N-central servers taken over after incomplete fix — Attackers exploited an authentication bypass in N-central to gain remote administrative access, reach managed endpoints, and preserve access through Cloudflare tunnels, making N-central takeover a one-to-many RMM emergency instead of a normal MSP maintenance issue.
Adobe Campaign Classic CVSS 10.0 flaw enables code execution — Adobe patched CVE-2026-48449, a maximum-severity incorrect-authorization issue that could allow arbitrary code execution without user interaction, making Campaign Classic a customer-data and marketing-automation blast-radius concern.
U.S. water systems hit across multiple states — Michigan joined Minnesota in reporting water-system cyberattacks, with federal agencies investigating and prior alerts warning of malicious tampering against operational technology, making water-system access a critical-infrastructure exposure problem, not a small-utility IT issue.
Samsung bans smart TV apps that share user internet connections — Security research found several popular Samsung smart TV apps contained code that could share an owner’s internet connection with strangers, making TV proxy abuse a consumer-device risk that can bleed into enterprise reputation, fraud, and network-attribution problems.
UK police and government contact data posted on the dark web — A breach involving the Police National Legal Database exposed police, government, and criminal-justice contact information, making PNLD exposure a safety, phishing, and public-sector trust issue with extortion pressure attached.
CrowdStrike warns AI is now both weapon and target — CrowdStrike’s threat-hunting report says attackers are using AI to weaponize vulnerabilities faster than companies can patch while defenders face a growing signal load, making AI-speed attacks a vulnerability-management and SOC-capacity problem leadership needs to understand.

RMM platforms remain high-leverage targets. If an attacker controls the management server, they inherit the endpoints, the admin workflow, and the downstream customer blast radius.
Customer engagement platforms are not “just marketing.” Campaign automation often touches customer records, email workflows, segmentation data, and integrations that attackers can turn into access or fraud.
Water utilities are still exposed at the operational edge. Small utilities often have limited staff, aging systems, remote access needs, and weak segmentation. Attackers know that math.
Consumer devices can become proxy infrastructure. Smart TVs, routers, and IoT devices can hide attacker traffic in places reputation filters do not always expect.
Public-sector contact data has real-world safety implications. Police and government contact records create targeted phishing, doxxing, intimidation, and operational trust problems.
AI is compressing the defender timeline. If attackers can weaponize faster, patch prioritization has to move from “scheduled” to “exposure-driven.”
RMM containment: Patch N-able N-central to the first unaffected build, review administrative logins, inspect Take Control activity, hunt for Cloudflare tunnel services, and require evidence from MSPs that hosted and on-prem deployments were remediated.
Adobe Campaign review: Patch Campaign Classic, restrict administrative access, review integrations, and validate whether campaign data, customer lists, email workflows, or connected credentials were exposed.
Water/OT hardening: Remove unnecessary internet exposure, verify remote-access controls, segment OT from IT, confirm manual operations procedures, and monitor for unauthorized changes to PLCs, passwords, and network settings.
Consumer-device policy: Treat unmanaged consumer devices as untrusted infrastructure, restrict smart TVs and similar devices on corporate/guest networks, and enrich fraud detections with proxy and residential-network intelligence.
Public-sector data response: Prepare phishing and safety messaging for exposed personnel, monitor for impersonation attempts, validate help-desk identity-verification processes, and coordinate with legal/comms before extortion pressure escalates.
AI-speed vulnerability triage: Prioritize exploited, internet-facing, and easily automatable vulnerabilities first. Require proof of patch status, not “pending change” comfort food.
The good news: Samsung’s response shows that platform-level action can still cut off abuse paths quickly. When risky apps are banned, and proxy-like behavior is dragged into daylight, attacker infrastructure gets less comfortable and more expensive.
That matters.
Criminal operations depend on cheap scale and quiet abuse. Every forced removal, advisory, hotfix, and coordinated response raises the cost of doing business for the bad guys.
Keep going.
Friction works.
This week’s lesson: Attackers are chasing trust at scale. RMM trust, campaign-platform trust, OT remote-access trust, device trust, public-sector trust, and AI-assisted workflow trust.
Verify it, segment it, or eventually explain why it trusted the wrong person.
