Digital Drama: Diamond Sleet’s Holiday Hack on CyberLink Unveiled by Microsoft’s Cyber-Sherlocks

Diamond Sleet, the Grinch of the digital world, has played ‘bad Santa’ by infiltrating CyberLink, a Taiwanese facial recognition provider. Spreading malicious code not as festive cheer, but as cyber destruction. Microsoft is on the naughty list hunt but it’s clear that in this cybernetic wonderland, Santa isn’t the only one keeping tabs.

Hot Take:

It's like a cyber version of a Hollywood spy thriller! Only instead of 007, we have Diamond Sleet, a hacker group that's been playing 'bad Santa' by infiltrating CyberLink, a Taiwanese facial recognition provider, and serving up malicious code as presents. Microsoft is on the case, but it's a stark reminder that even in the digital world, Santa Claus isn't the only one checking his list twice.
