Kacey and Alex join HVR to talk through the key stories this week including a new threat group called “Mirrorthief” conducting “Magecart”-like digital skimming attacks against university websites, various code-sharing repositories being targeted and held for ransom by an unknown threat actor; and new ransomware, “Sodinokibi”, which used a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic.
