#1 On December 10, 2020, ESET researchers announced they had found that a chat software called Able Desktop, part of a widely used business management suite in Mongolia, was exploited to deliver the HyperBro backdoor, the Korplug RAT, and another RAT named Tmanger.

#2 On December 13, 2020, FireEye, a global leader in cybersecurity, published the first details about the SolarWinds Supply-Chain Attack, a global intrusion campaign that inserted a trojan into the SolarWinds Orion business software updates to distribute the malware.

#3 The most recent attack reflects a particular focus on the United States and many other democracies, but it also provides a powerful reminder that people in virtually every country are at risk and need protection.

#4 On December 17, 2020, ESET Research announced that it had detected a large supply-chain attack against the digital signing authority of the government of Vietnam, the website for the Vietnam Government Certification Authority. The website was hacked as early as July 23rd, and no later than August 16, 2020. The compromised toolkits contained malware known as PhantomNet.
