cPGuard Update Channel Hijacked to Backdoor Linux Servers
Attackers compromised the update channel for cPGuard, a security tool used on Linux web servers, and used it to push malicious updates that installed a backdoor and harvested password hashes. The incident is a supply-chain attack, meaning servers were infected through the vendor's own trusted distribution path rather than a flaw in customer systems. Administrators running cPGuard should treat affected machines as compromised and rotate credentials.
