Hot Take:

Well, here we go again! Another day, another zero-day, and this time, it's the Chinese playing the villain in our cybersecurity opera. Barracuda's Email Security Gateway (ESG) appliances were the victims, with a 'limited number' of devices sporting new backdoor accessories, courtesy of the threat actor troupe known as UNC4841. But don't fret! Barracuda's on it with patches and updates faster than you can say 'arbitrary code execution'. Side note to anyone using Spreadsheet::ParseExcel Perl module (version 0.65) - you might want to patch up that hole before it turns into a window!
