It's hoped the money, offered via the US Department of State's Rewards for Justice program, will lead to the snaring of the following men said to be Russian intelligence officers: Yuriy Sergeyevich Andrienko (Юрий Сергеевич Андриенко), Sergey Vladimirovich Detistov (Сергей Владимирович Детистов), Pavel Valeryevich Frolov (Павел Валерьевич Фролов), Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev (Анатолий Сергеевич Ковалев), Artem Valeryevich Ochichenko (Артем Валерьевич Очиченко), and Petr Nikolayevich Pliskin (Петр Николаевич Плискин).Īccording to the US government, these are all members of the GRU's Unit 74455, also known as Sandworm, and they "deployed destructive malware and took other disruptive actions for the strategic benefit of Russia through unauthorized access to victim computers," according to the State Department.Cisco has released a security advisory to warn about a critical vulnerability (CVSS v3 score: 10.0), tracked as CVE-2022-20695, impacting the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software. Uncle Sam will dole out up to $10 million for vital information on each of six Russian GRU officers linked to the Kremlin-backed Sandworm gang, who, according to the Feds, have plotted to carry out destructive cyber-attacks against American critical infrastructure. "The growing number of vulnerabilities on Linux environments emphasize the need for strong monitoring of the platform's operating system and its components," wrote Jonathan Bar Or of the Microsoft 365 Defender Research Team, which, again, is perhaps a bit rich for the Windows goliath to bring up.
It's just a little perplexing the biz went to all the effort of a big write-up and giving the flaws a catchy name, Nimbuspwn, when countless privilege-elevation holes are fixed in the Windows operating system each month, and we can't recall Microsoft lately making this much of a song and dance over them. It's nice of Redmond to point out these flaws and have them fixed in any affected distributions the US tech giant is a big user of Linux and relies on the open-source OS throughout its empire. Flaws in networkd-dispatcher, a service used in some parts of the Linux world, can be exploited by a rogue logged-in user or application to escalate their privileges to root level, allowing the box to be commandeered, Microsoft researchers said Wednnesday.
