Taylor Swift Concert Terror Plot Was Thwarted by Key CIA Tip

Microsoft published research on Wednesday about a new multistage backdoor that the notorious Iranian hacking group APT 33 or Peach Sandstorm has been using to target victims in sectors including satellite, communications equipment, and oil and gas. And Google researchers found that suspected Russian hackers compromised Mongolian government websites between November 2023 and July 2024 and then infected vulnerable users who visited the sites with malware. Crucially, the attackers compromised targets using exploits that were identical or very similar to hacking tools created by the commercial spyware vendors NSO Group and Intellexa.
