PuTTY Users Urged to Migrate Amidst Imminent Security Threat
Users of the PuTTY freeware terminal emulator have been sent an urgent security warning to stop using the software.
The North Korean state-backed Lazarus group, responsible for the 2016 hacking of the Bangladesh Central Bank and the 2014 Sony data breach are currently engaged in a campaign targeting open-source software. The PuTTY terminal emulator is one of the tools being compromised and weaponized by the group.
