New HiatusRAT malware has emerged as a threat, honing in on business-grade routers to stealthily spy on victims. In a worrying development, the core members of the DoppelPaymer Ransomware Gang have expanded their operations, facing actions in Germany and Ukraine. While experts continue to assess vulnerabilities, a significant flaw has been found in the U.S. Government’s chosen Quantum-Resistant Encryption Algorithm, underlining the importance of persistent vetting in cybersecurity measures. As the digital landscape broadens, so do the tools of threat actors, evidenced by the Transparent Tribe hackers, who are now leveraging trojanized messaging apps to distribute the CapraRAT. Lastly, the Lazarus Group continues to prove its mettle, taking advantage of a zero-day vulnerability to compromise a South Korean financial entity.
