Fortinet Fiasco: 20,000 Devices Hacked in Chinese Cyber-Espionage Spree

In a digital heist with a dash of espionage, Chinese attackers played ‘hide and RAT’ with 20,000 Fortinet devices, leaving the Dutch saying “Nee, not our government gear!” #CoathangerRAT

Hot Take:

Who needs a coathanger when you've got a RAT that can pick every digital lock? The Chinese cyber-espionage saga continues, featuring a RAT named Coathanger that's more persistent than glitter after a craft project. Dutch agencies are waving the red flag, but it seems like this rodent is already nesting comfortably in 20,000 endpoints, including some cozy government corners. Oh, and patches? This RAT scoffs at patches.
