Healthcare & Cybersecurity: Orange Group Breach, Dominion National Leak, and Rising Cyber Threats

Today's cybersecurity landscape continues to be marked by escalating threats, data breaches, and vulnerabilities across various sectors. Attackers are leveraging sophisticated techniques, from exploiting open-source software flaws to deploying evasive malware like HiddenGh0st RAT. Major corporations such as Orange Group and Dominion National have suffered breaches, exposing sensitive data. Meanwhile, concerns grow over foreign-made medical devices with exploitable vulnerabilities, and the rise in encrypted cyber threats underscores the evolving tactics of malicious actors. Additionally, a surge in malicious Chrome extensions and the expansion of LightSpy APT’s capabilities highlight the persistent risks to both individuals and organizations. As cybersecurity challenges mount, proactive measures and heightened security strategies remain essential.

The "HEAL Security Dispatch - Daily Digest" for the 24th of February 2025 highlights a series of significant cybersecurity incidents and policy updates:

• Truesight.sys Driver Exploitation – Over 2,500 variants of the Truesight.sys driver are being used to bypass EDR systems, enabling the deployment of the HiddenGh0st RAT. This highlights growing cyber threat sophistication.
