The US government warns encryption chipmaker Hualan has suspicious ties to China’s military. Yet US agencies still use one of its subsidiary’s chips, raising fears of a backdoor.

Microsoft on Wednesday took the lid off a "novel and distinct Russian threat actor," which it said is linked to the General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and has a "relatively low success rate." The tech giant's Threat Intelligence team, which was previously tracking the group under its emerging moniker DEV-0586, has graduated it to a named actor dubbed Cadet Blizzard. "Cadet

Attackers continue to attempt to steal Bitcoin and other virtual coins, with a 40% increase in phishing attacks and fourfold increase in incidents.

Microsoft says Cadet Blizzard wielded a custom wiper malware in the weeks leading up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and it remains capable of wanton destruction.

Potential vulnerabilities have been identified in the system BIOS of certain HP PC products, which might allow arbitrary code execution, escalation of privilege, denial of service, and information disclosure.

The VMware Tools authentication bypass vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-20867 (CVSS score: 3.9), "enabled the execution of privileged commands across Windows, Linux, and PhotonOS (vCenter) guest VMs without authentication of guest credentials

By paying attention to emerging threat intelligence, security leaders can be better prepared to defend against similar attack vectors in the future.

For the better part of the 90s and early aughts, the sysadmin handbook said, "Filter your incoming traffic, not everyone is nice out there" (later coined by Gandalf as "You shall not pass").
