This week in the world of cybersecurity:

Industrial Cellular Routers face potential breaches, with 11 new vulnerabilities posing risks to OT Networks. This vulnerability in critical infrastructure parallels the discovery of a powerful backdoor and a custom implant found by researchers after tracking a year-long cyber campaign. Meanwhile, the cybercrime underworld continues its proliferation; a new Ransomware Gang called RA Group made its mark, targeting U.S. and South Korean entities. Shifting our gaze towards the East, escalating China-Taiwan tensions are not just confined to geopolitics but have also manifested in a spike in cyber attacks. On the judicial front, the U.S. has upped the ante against cyber criminals by offering a whopping $10 million bounty for the capture of a high-profile Russian ransomware operator.
