- Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a loophole impacting Google Kubernetes Engine that could be potentially exploited by threat actors to take control of a Kubernetes cluster.
- A new campaign is using phishing emails to distribute malware and legitimate services to bypass email protection systems to install NetSupport RAT.
- On January 20th the Cactus ransomware group attacked a number of victims across varying industries.
