Written by: Takahiro Sugiyama, Peter Revelant, Mathew Potaczek Introduction In late 2025, Mandiant responded to a security incident involving a compromised web server running KnowledgeDeliver. KnowledgeDeliver is a Learning Management System (LMS) developed by Digital Knowledge commonly used in Japan. Mandiant identified a critical vulnerability that allowed unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE). An unknown threat actor leveraged this access to inject malicious code into the LMS platform,…
While Russian-speaking threat actors have historically dominated the phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) landscape, a rival ecosystem is rapidly growing within the Chinese-language underground. Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) analyzed a dozen current PhaaS offerings in the Chinese underground, all of them mature services and many likely tied intricately to the broader criminal ecosystem in that region. These services not only lower the barrier to entry for Chinese cyber criminals, but reveal …

Two recent incidents involving The Gentlemen ransomware show the use of defense evasion tactics, including logs being cleared and attempts to add antivirus exclusions.
A vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) enforce-first-as feature of Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger BGP peer flaps, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to incorrect parsing of a transitive BGP attribute. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted BGP update through an established BGP peer session. If…
A vulnerability in the access validation of internal REST APIs of Cisco Secure Workload could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access site resources with the privileges of the Site Admin role. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation and authentication when accessing REST API endpoints. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they are able to send a crafted API request to an affected endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read sensitive inform…
A vulnerability in the SSL certificate handling of Cisco ThousandEyes Virtual Appliance could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute commands on the underlying operating system as the root user. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted certificate to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code as the root user on the un…
A vulnerability in the BrowserBot component of Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent could have allowed an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on Agents on behalf of the BrowserBot synthetics orchestration process. Cisco has addressed this vulnerability in the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent, and no customer action is needed. This vulnerability was due to insufficient input validation of command arguments that are supplied by the user. Prior to this vulnerability bein…

Written by: Austin Larsen, Tyler McLellan, Genevieve Stark, Dan Ebreo Introduction Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has continued to track an expansive extortion campaign by UNC6671, a threat actor operating under the "BlackFile" brand, that targets organizations via sophisticated voice phishing (vishing) and single sign-on (SSO) compromise. By leveraging adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) techniques to bypass traditional perimeter defenses and multi-factor authentication (MFA), UNC6671 gain…
An incident response retainer gives organizations immediate access to cybersecurity experts when a breach occurs, without losing critical time to legal, procurement, or onboarding delays. This article explains how IR retainers work, the different retainer models available, and why they can significantly reduce downtime, damage, and uncertainty during a cyber incident.
Digital brand protection helps organizations detect and disrupt external threats, such as phishing sites, fake social profiles, counterfeit listings, and leaked credentials, before they become customer-facing fraud or reputational damage.
