In Other News: ICS-Sniper Attack, Hacking XWorm Malware Operators, $250k Chrome Exploit

SecurityWeek highlights three stories: Bank of America expanded its patching workforce by 1,000 contractors, KGB RAT malware combines data exfiltration with jump scare tactics, and a Langflow vulnerability is being actively exploited. A fourth story alludes to an industrial control system sniper attack and a 250,000 dollar Chrome exploit.

Why it matters: Organizations using Langflow and Chrome face imminent exploitation risk; Bank of America's contractor surge suggests industry-wide patching backlogs affecting enterprise defenders; KGB RAT's jump scare tactic indicates social engineering layers in theft campaigns that practitioners should expect.
