    Interesting: Malware written in c++ for three separate platforms by the same advanced actor, undetectable via common a/v scanners, found deployed inside an educational environment; analysis suggests it may have hopped onto the network via malicious npm repo #infosec #supplychain …

    SysJoker is a potent new malware designed to create backdoors into Windows, Linux and macOS systems. Researchers at @IntezerLabs uncovered it while investigating an attack against an undisclosed educational institution last month. https://www.zdnet.com/... via @ZDNet
