APT41, also known as "Winnti," "BARIUM," or "Double Dragon," is an APT group said to originate from China. Having been active since 2012, APT41 rose to infamy by successfully launching targeted cyber espionage attacks on government agencies and private companies worldwide.
Even solutions meant to enhance security can sometimes fall prey to the best cyber attackers. That's what happened to JumpCloud, a cloud-based directory service platform designed to centralize and simplify identity access management (IAM).
Cyber espionage group MuddyWater's or Mercury's first major campaign was seen as early as 2012. But as things always go in the cybersecurity realm, threat groups, especially those that gain infamy, don't necessarily just come and go.
On July 5, 2023, Meta's Instagram released "Threads" -- an online social media and social networking service offering users the ability to post and share text, images, and videos, as well as interact with others and join public conversations through posts, replies, reposts, and likes.

That's a change from the current scheme, which only charges you for addresses you reserve, but aren't using, or if you reassign the same address over a hundred times a month.
