Unplug your way to better code

This Talos Threat Source newsletter highlights several active and high-impact cyber incidents: Cisco Talos' research on tracking phone numbers as IOCs to cluster large-scale scam/TOAD campaigns; disclosure of UAT-8302 (a China-nexus APT targeting governments); discovery of CloudZ RAT with a Pheno plugin that can steal OTPs; reports of active exploitation of the “Copy Fail” Linux kernel vulnerability enabling root shells; and multiple breaches and compromises (DigiCert support portal, Instructure). The bulletin also lists recent prevalent malware hashes and recommended defensive steps (real-time reputation monitoring, IOC clustering).
