In the realm of software development, open-source tools and packages play a pivotal role in simplifying tasks and accelerating development processes. Yet, as the community grows, so does the number of bad actors looking to exploit it. A recent example involves developers being targeted by seemingly legitimate Python obfuscation packages that harbor malicious code.
While the main trend in the cyber threat landscape in recent months has been MoveIt and Cl0p, NCC Groups’ Cyber Incident Response Team have also been handling multiple different ransomware groups over the same period.
In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, one consistent trend witnessed in recent years is the unsettling rise in ransomware attacks. These nefarious acts of digital extortion have left countless victims scrambling to safeguard their data, resources, and even their livelihoods.
