Hot Take:

Mustang Panda might sound like a cuddly creature from a Kung Fu flick, but this China-linked threat actor's latest shenanigans with the DOPLUGS variant of PlugX malware are about as cuddly as a cactus pillow. As they gear up their cyber espionage game with a sprinkle of Nim language and a dash of "KillSomeOne" module, you can bet your last USB stick that they're not just in it for the bamboo!
