• Researchers at Mandiant on Friday raised an alarm after discovering Russia’s APT29 hacking group targeting political parties in Germany, indicating a possible new operational focus beyond typical attacks on diplomatic figures.
• The newly discovered vulnerability baked into Apple’s M-series of chips that allows attackers to extract secret keys from Macs when they perform widely used cryptographic operations.
