What happened
This feed aggregates multiple active security incidents and law‑enforcement actions: the 'Atomic Arch' campaign hijacked ownership of 20+ Linux AUR packages to drop rootkit-like malware (supply‑chain compromise of popular Linux packages); ShinyHunters exploited an Oracle PeopleSoft zero‑day to steal data from 100+ organisations (universities heavily impacted) and separately leaked ~40GB of University of Nottingham student personal/financial records (≈450,000 affected); threat actors are distributing AsyncRAT via fake 'Claude Code' guides and malicious AI PDF lures using PowerShell and Defender
