Imagine you are reading a newspaper that collects all the important news about bad software, called malware, from around the world. This newsletter is like that, but for people who want to know about the latest malware threats. It is a collection of articles and research on malware.
How it actually works
This newsletter talks about a few different topics, including a malware platform that uses GitHub¹ to spread its malware, and a type of ransomware² that uses a company's own rules, called Group Policy³, against them. It also mentions a type of malicious software, called a RAT⁴, that is written in Node.js⁵.
