Later this month, Saudi Aramco will make its first sale of U.S. dollardenominated Islamic bonds sukuk since 2021. According to sources, the action is intended to increase global demand for Shariacompliant assets and diversify finance. Among the primary managers are JPMorgan, Citi, and HSBC, and the sukuk will be marketed to foreign investors. Investor demand for premium Gulf issuers was demonstrated by the $6 billion raised and oversubscription of Aramcos most recent sukuk. The new issue is in line with Saudi Arabias larger plan to draw in foreign investment and back the economic changes outlined in Vision 2030. Favourable market circumstances and growing oil revenues may further help timing, putting Aramco in a position to negotiate competitive rates and grow its debt load. Read More..

Palo Alto Networks Confirms Data Breach via Compromised Drift–Salesforce Integration

According to Palo Alto Networks, the Salesloft Drift application was the target of a massive supply chain attack that affected hundreds of victims. Over the course of ten days, hackers gained access to client environments by abusing OAuth and refresh tokens from SalesDrift, a thirdparty solution that connects Drifts AI chat to Salesforce. Internal sales records, support case data, and company contact information were all made public by the hack. Palo Alto promised that its key systems and products would not be impacted and disabled the hacked app. Zscaler, Cloudflare, and perhaps Google are among the other victims. Although the ransomware organisation ShinyHunters took credit, Google believes UNC6395 is a different threat actor. The issue highlights the hazards in interconnected SaaS ecosystems and is being compared to the MOVEit compromise. Read More..

As their geopolitical alignment grows, Russia and China have expanded their energy collaboration by signing a legally binding memorandum to develop the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline via Mongolia.
