Kaspersky researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of Kimsuky APT activity, revealing tactical shifts and new malware variants based on the PebbleDash platform. The group introduced HelloDoor, a Rust-based backdoor, httpMalice leveraging HTTP and Dropbox communications, and updated MemLoad and httpTroy variants. Kimsuky maintains persistence through legitimate tools including VSCode Tunneling with GitHub authentication and DWAgent remote management software. Initial access occurs via spear-phishing with malicious attachments disguised as documents. The group primarily targets South Korean entities across government and defense sectors, with additional PebbleDash attacks observed in Brazil and Germany. Infrastructure relies on free South Korean hosting services and tunneling services like Cloudflare Quick Tunnels and Ngrok.

Why I'm leaving #GitHub

TL;DR

• GitHub logged 257 incidents in May 2025 to April 2026, 48 of them major. The CTO publicly apologised and said capacity needs to scale 30x to keep up with AI-driven load.
• In August 2025 GitHub stopped having its own CEO. It is now a unit of Microsoft's #CoreAI division, the same group building Copilot and the broader AI stack.
• On April 24, 2026 GitHub flipped #Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ user-interaction data to opt-in for AI training by default. There is no repository-level opt-out.
• US-jurisdictional risk under #FISA Section 702 and the CLOUD Act is unresolved. Microsoft's own attorney told the French Senate under oath he could not #guarantee #EU data was safe from silent US #government access.

So tell me why do they still use GitHub?
