Linux / Malware
The Pakistan-based advanced persistent threat (APT) group known as Transparent Tribe has exploited a two-factor authentication (2FA) tool utilized by Indian government agencies to introduce a new Linux backdoor dubbed Poseidon. According to Uptycs security researcher Tejaswini Sandapolla, “Poseidon serves as a second-stage malware payload linked to Transparent Tribe. It functions as a versatile backdoor, enabling attackers to perform a variety of malicious actions such as logging keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and managing system files remotely.” Transparent Tribe, also identified as APT36, Operation C-Major, PROJECTM, and Mythic Leopard, has a history of targeting Indian governmental bodies, military personnel, defense contractors, and educational institutions. This group frequently utilizes trojanized versions of legitimate software to carry out its attacks.

Vulnerability / Threat Intelligence
A China-linked threat group has been identified as the source of recent attacks exploiting a critical security flaw in SAP NetWeaver, part of a larger campaign against organizations in Brazil, India, and Southeast Asia that began in 2023. According to Trend Micro security researcher Joseph C. Chen, the attackers primarily exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications to infiltrate SQL servers of targeted entities. “The actor also leverages various known vulnerabilities to compromise public-facing servers,” Chen noted in a recent analysis. Key targets have included Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Trend Micro is tracking this activity under the name Earth Lamia, which shows some overlap with threat clusters reported by Elastic Security Labs as REF0657, Sophos as STAC6451, and Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42.

IoT Security / Zero Trust
The Shifting Landscape of Cybersecurity in Healthcare
In 2025, healthcare organizations are grappling with unparalleled cybersecurity threats. As operational technology (OT) environments come under increasing attack and the integration of IT and medical systems expands the potential for breaches, traditional security measures are falling short. Recent data reveals that the healthcare sector faced a record number of data breaches in 2024, compromising over 133 million patient records. The financial implications are severe, with the average cost of a healthcare data breach soaring to $11 million, making it the industry with the highest breach costs.
The tactics of cybercriminals have evolved significantly; they are now focused on compromising the very devices that provide patient care, rather than just stealing patient records. The risk has intensified, with ransomware accounting for 71% of attacks on healthcare organizations, resulting in an average operational downtime of 11 days per incident.
