What happened
This ISC SANS Diary batch highlights multiple active threats and defensive guidance: a forensic-focused Akira ransomware write-up emphasizing correlating perimeter firewall and Windows event logs to reconstruct pre-encryption activity; continued coverage of TeamPCP supply-chain compromises (trojanizing packages across three ecosystems, including a Microsoft-published Python SDK and GitHub access); discovery of a cross-platform Node.js/NPM stealer (SHA256 049300aa5dd774d6c984779a0570f59610399c71864b5d5c2605906db46ddeb9) and a possible ACR stealer impersonating the Claude AI page; a Wireshark 4.
