Listen Later

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some intel being shared in the LimaCharlie community.

  • North Korean threat actors are targeting macOS software developers in a new malware campaign that abuses Visual Studio Code (VS Code) confi gurations to deliver JavaScript-based backdoors, according to research from Jamf.
  • Sinkholes are usually seen as the end of a malicious campaign - the point where domains are seized and abuse stops.
  • China’s pen-testing and red-team ecosystem has always been hard to observe, especially since many teams stopped participating in international CTFs post-2018.
  • A critical zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2025-64155, has been discovered in Fortinet’s FortiSIEM platform by Horizon3.ai, allowing unauthenticated remote code execution and privilege escalation to root.
