Ransomware gangs usually target businesses. This time, they targeted each other. The fallout? A goldmine of intel for the good guys.
The cybersecurity world braced for another supply chain assault, but GlassWorm's latest move in the OpenVSX ecosystem is a quiet, insidious evolution. They're no longer just dropping malware; they're planting seeds.
That quiet period where your systems haven't been touched? It might be the most dangerous time for your organization. We've seen this horror movie before, and the ending is rarely happy.
Imagine a thief who doesn't just grab your wallet—he's got a custom vacuum sucking out your entire safe in parallel streams, dodging every alarm. That's Trigona ransomware's latest move with a bespoke exfiltration tool.
