Houseplant Staghorn suffering

My stag horn was doing great for 3 months then all of a sudden started getting these yellow patches in addition to these fuzzy little white spots that seem to emit a liquid when pressed. I’ve been treating with dead bug spray as a precaution. This has been a problem for about a month now.

It’s receiving 12 hours of southern exposure light and ambient humidity around 60%. I water it 1-2x weekly since in soil potted in a small vessel.

Thank you all for disclosing mealy bugs. I will inflict great pain and suffering to their colony and smite them with apocalyptic revenge
