Cash-and-Carry King Kirsh Caps Second Act With $29 Billion Sale



On Monday, CISA added CVE-2026-20133 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, "based on evidence of active exploitation," and ordered Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to secure their networks until Friday, April 24.
"Please adhere to CISA's guidelines to assess exposure and mitigate risks associated with Cisco SD-WAN devices as outlined in CISA's Emergency Directive 26-03 and CISA's Hunt & Hardening Guidance for Cisco SD-WAN Devices," CISA said. "Adhere to the applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are not available."
Cisco has yet to confirm the U.S. cybersecurity agency's report that the flaw is being exploited in attacks, with its security advisory still saying that its Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is "not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in CVE-2026-20133."
In February, Cisco also tagged a critical authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-20127) as exploited in zero-day attacks that were enabling threat actors to add malicious rogue peers to targeted networks since at least 2023.
More recently, in early March, the company released security updates to address two maximum-severity vulnerabilities in its Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) software that can allow attackers to gain root access to the underlying operating system and execute arbitrary Java code with root privileges.
Over the last several years, CISA has tagged 91 Cisco vulnerabilities as exploited in the wild, six of which have been used by various ransomware operations.

"Not actively opposing undemocratic practices is different than actively supporting democracy," Hall said.

These "democratic neutrals" are what the study's co-authors consider some of the most dangerous voters in the current political environment.
If you were to ask democracy scholars what they consider the greatest threat to American democracy, you might assume it is voters who support undemocratic practices or policies. But the real answer may surprise you: These ...

"The problem is the people sitting on the sidelines, not paying attention or prioritizing short-term issues over the long-term stability of this country," Hall said. "This will require a completely different approach with regard to persuasion strategy when you realize that's the group we—as proponents of American democracy—need to be focusing on. Promoting democracy is going to look a little different than we thought."
What does that promotion look like then? Hall and his co-authors see the primaries for the approaching 2026 midterm elections as the next opportunity to encourage Americans to vote for candidates who will support and protect American democracy. Messaging will need to encourage voters to "vote against candidates who undermine American democracy—even (and especially) if they are candidates from their own party," emphasizing that staying neutral will no longer suffice.
"American politics have really been shaken in this last decade, particularly with regard to partisanship and polarization," Hall said.
"The elites have lost control of the throttle and the mass public is driving—and that's not necessarily a bad thing if the mass public values democracy. But if they don't value democracy, then we will spin out."
This research aligns with the University's Democracy Initiative, which aims to establish Notre Dame as a leader in the study of democracy both in the United States and worldwide, as a convenor for conversations about and actions to preserve democracy, and as a model for the formation of civically engaged citizens and public servants. The initiative also bridges research, education and policy work across multidisciplinary units.
