The Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) recently discovered a global operation, EMERALDWHALE, targeting exposed Git configurations resulting in more than 15,000 cloud service credentials stolen. This campaign used multiple private tools that abused multiple misconfigured web services, allowing attackers to steal credentials, clone private repositories, and extract cloud credentials from their source code. Credentials for over 10,000 private repositories were collected during the operation.

Recently, a critical API vulnerability in FortiManager (CVE-2024-47575) was disclosed.
