It seems that Avast managed to settle the lawsuits related to their data abuse in both US and UK. While in the former they agreed to pay a fairly moderate fine, UK let them off the hook even easier. They are offering two years of free software to eligible UK users which is, quite frankly, a joke. It costs Avast exactly nothing, it allows them to email past users on a legal basis and gives them a chance to win them back. Really, who agreed to that?
Kiteworks were the artist formerly known as Accellion, who got hit by cl0p extortion group with a zero day so hard they rebranded the company.
If you use KiteWorks I suggest you temporarily remove internet access now. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Imminent-Zero-Day-Attack-KiteWorks-Urges-Customers-to-Shut-Down-Servers-11466375.html
For the record - I’d shut down Kiteworks servers full stop temporarily, not for 6 hours on Saturday, until the situation becomes clear.
Chances are that law enforcement is monitoring the extortion group and knows when they plan to smash and grab. Obviously, that timing is out the window now due to the public report - the threat actor will start to smash and grab now.
Monitor the amount of outbound network traffic from Kitework boxes for very high volumes.

I'm looking for some PAID OSINT tools. They need to accept crypto as payment. I'm working on some projects (people). Will share any information when it gets to that point.

Say hello to Barbie Pig, a new type of sea cucumber discovered on the deep-sea floor by a team from the Natural History Museum in London. The frilly-footed fuchsia beauty was filmed by a robot on the Pacific seabed, 5km deep, in an area called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone. A documentary opening next month, How Deep Is Your Love, gives a scientist’s-eye view of the astonishingly biodiverse region.
A good question ...
