Is Cyber missing the Marque?

This edition of Threat Source highlights a new White House memorandum enabling U.S.-authorized offensive cyber operations by private companies and details Talos research on UAT-10147, a sophisticated Chinese-speaking cybercrime group that leverages agentic AI to scale operations and deploy the SPECTRE implant — a cross-platform backdoor with a Linux kernel rootkit and BYOVD techniques that can blind EDRs; the newsletter also calls out active exploitation of multiple critical vulnerabilities, provides mitigation recommendations, and publishes IOCs and malware hashes.
