Attackers accessed OpsShield’s update distribution infrastructure on 2 Nov 2026 02:06 UTC using compromised credentials and pushed malicious cPGuard versions 5.88.12‑5.88.19 that delivered a backdoor and data‑stealing script. The vendor detected and stopped the distribution within 12 hours, though some servers may have missed the update.
