Hi artichoke.consulting,

The Adversary Pursuit Group was busy last week as we headed into December (can you believe it?). They researched new ransomware strains, multiple critical vulnerabilities, passive TTPs, and more. More specifically, they looked into:

- Turtle Ransomware's targeting of macOS systems
- Zyxel's response to critical NAS vulnerabilities
- The disruption of the Qakbot malware by the DOJ and FBI
- The new Cactus ransomware campaign
- Critical vulnerabilities affecting both ownCloud & Google Chrome
- Okta's extensive data breach
- A novel RSA key vulnerability
- A severe security flaw in WPS Office
- The spread of the Atomic Stealer's macOS campaign

Read all about it in our blog!
