Negotiator helped hackers, fake Portál občana spreads in the Czech Republic, and Bitwarden addresses a supply chain attack
In the latest episode of CCTV NEWS we look at a case from the USA where a ransomware negotiator admitted to collaborating with the attackers. Instead of protecting clients, he helped them increase ransom demands and actively took part in the attacks.

A major story is also unfolding in the Czech Republic. Attackers are abusing the name Portálu občana and, through fraudulent messages, are luring payment details out of people. According to available data, the number of similar attacks and the overall damage are rising significantly.
Another part of the episode focuses on a supply chain attack on Bitwarden CLI, which shows how easily a compromised tool can make its way into developer environments. There's also a look at new attacker techniques that abuse Microsoft Teams, and at a backdoor in Cisco network devices that can survive even security patches.
