Today's cybersecurity news is led by a messy public feud between a former Huntress analyst and the company, alleging an insider fed intel to ransomware criminals. Meanwhile, the Bundeswehr faces a different kind of threat from disinformation campaigns, and a roundup from The CyberWire covers multiple ongoing incidents.
The biggest story today is a social media blow-up that raises serious questions about insider threats at a well-known security firm.
A former Huntress analyst went public with claims that a company insider leaked information to a ransomware group, and that Huntress tried to silence him with legal threats. The drama started with a Pinocchio GIF and clown emoji, but the underlying accusation is serious.
Beyond the corporate drama, nation-state actors continue to target military and critical infrastructure with disinformation and cyberattacks.
This piece examines how disinformation campaigns are targeting the German Bundeswehr, weaponizing historical narratives to erode public trust. Specific examples include fake news around disaster relief efforts in Venezuela and the 2021 Ahr Valley floods.
A roundup covering multiple incidents: Tata Electronics and Bajaj Auto recovering from cyberattacks, FCC tightening undersea cable rules, CISA warning about an actively exploited PTC vulnerability, Gamaredon expanding its toolkit, and Iran-linked hackers weaponizing public warning systems.
