Cybersecurity researchers have exposed a new hacking collective called Magnet Goblin, which is leveraging previously unknown vulnerabilities to deploy unique malware on Windows and Linux devices. The group targets healthcare, manufacturing, and energy organizations in the US, and its activities are financially motivated. Despite being new, Magnet Goblin has already impacted numerous organizations, and its rapid exploitation of vulnerabilities poses a significant threat to cybersecurity. The group's use of the Ivanti exploit just one day after its publication highlights the urgency for organizations to strengthen their security measures. This revelation underscores the critical need for heightened vigilance and proactive security measures in the face of evolving cyber threats.
