The popular Docker-OSX project has been removed from Docker Hub after Apple filed a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request, alleging that it violated its copyright.

Researchers Ian Carroll and Sam Curry discovered the vulnerability in FlyCASS, a third-party web-based service that some airlines use to manage the Known Crewmember (KCM) program and the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS). KCM is a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) initiative that allows pilots and flight attendants to skip security screening, and CASS enables authorized pilots to use jumpseats in cockpits when traveling.

North Korean hackers have exploited a recently patched Google Chrome zero-day (CVE-2024-7971) to deploy the FudModule rootkit after gaining SYSTEM privileges using a Windows Kernel exploit.

Citrine Sleet targets financial institutions, focusing on cryptocurrency organizations and associated individuals, and has been previously linked to Bureau 121 of North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau.

In the watering-hole attacks, threat actors infected two websites, cabinet.gov[.]mn and mfa.gov[.]mn, which belong to Mongolia's Cabinet and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They then injected code to exploit known flaws in iOS and Chrome on Android, with the ultimate goal of hijacking website visitors' devices.

This relatively new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation extorts victims in exchange for not leaking stolen files and sells the documents to the highest bidder if negotiations fail. The ransomware group focuses on data-theft-based extortion rather than encrypting victims' files, although they were also identified as potential buyers of Knight ransomware source code.

Since the start of the year, RansomHub has claimed responsibility for breaching American not-for-profit credit union Patelco, the Rite Aid drugstore chain, the Christie's auction house, and U.S. telecom provider Frontier Communications. Frontier Communications later warned over 750,000 customers their personal information was exposed in a data breach.
