On November 2, OPSSHIELD's Linux server security software update system was compromised using stolen credentials, allowing an attacker to distribute a malicious script through updates for cPGuard versions 5.88.12 to 5.88.19. The script installed a backdoor and collected sensitive data. OPSSHIELD confirmed some data was accessed and recommends updating to version 5.88.25 or later to remove the malware, while urging administrators to verify their systems.
