February 24, 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Briefing This week’s briefing covers: KTA080 (CL0P) Update CL0P has again updated their data leak site with a new list of redacted victim organizations possibly linked to the Cleo vulnerability. The list contains company names beginning with the letters E-H. This follows the current pattern the group has established with releasing redacted names to then later slowly start releasing the actual entity and published data associated with it if the victim organization has not reached out to CL0P.
