The Winnti hacking group is using a new PHP backdoor called ‘Glutton’. This backdoor is being used in attacks targeting organizations in both China and the United States. Additionally, Winnti is also targeting other cybercriminals, indicating a shift in their focus and tactics. The use of the Glutton backdoor is a concerning development as it demonstrates the group’s ability to adapt and create new tools for their operations.

The Romanian presidential election was annulled following allegations of Russian interference, involving 25,000 fake accounts and 85,000 cyberattacks on election systems. The interference involved coordinated disinformation campaigns and social media manipulation. The EU is tightening its control over TikTok as a consequence of this event. The incident highlights the increasing risk of foreign interference in democratic processes using digital platforms and cyberattacks. This shows how election systems can be manipulated to affect the outcome of elections.
