ESET unearths a supply-chain attack against an Android emulator for PC and Mac – ESET research into malware targeting HPC clusters – How to prevent at least some zero-days
ESET researchers disclosed details about a supply-chain attack that they named Operation NightScout and that compromised the update mechanism of NoxPlayer, an Android emulator for PCs and Macs. Also this week, ESET experts published their findings about malware that they named Kobalos and that has been targeting high performance computing (HPC) clusters, among other high-profile targets.
