Accellion product vulns, Equation group tool copied by Chinese APT, and software supply chain attacks in France

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, Dick O’Brien and Brigid O’Gorman discuss some of the biggest cyber security stories of the last few weeks. Among the stories up for discussion are the bugs in Accellion’s 20-year-old FTA product, which led to multiple companies worldwide reporting breaches related to it. We also talk about the reports saying the Sandworm group has been carrying out a long-running spying campaign against multiple French IT services providers by compromising an open-source IT monitoring tool called Centreon, and a Chinese APT group reportedly cloning an Equation group tool. Some interesting law enforcement activity in recent weeks is also up for discussion.
