- ClickFix:

Taiwanese network-attached storage (NAS) appliance maker Synology has addressed a critical security flaw impacting DiskStation and BeePhotos that could lead to remote code execution.
- SteelFox:
A new malicious package called 'SteelFox' mines for cryptocurrency and steals credit card data by using the “bring your own vulnerable driver” technique to get SYSTEM privileges on Windows machines.

- Winos4.0:
Hackers are increasingly targeting Windows users with the malicious Winos4.0 framework, distributed via seemingly benign game-related apps.

Hundreds of its customers have been targeted, indicating that the real reach of the campaign may be far greater still.
- Palo Alto:
CISA warned that attackers are exploiting a critical missing authentication vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Expedition, a migration tool that can help convert firewall configuration from Checkpoint, Cisco, and other vendors to PAN-OS.
