The Full Story
Some eighty organisations are currently regretting their life choices after the VENOMOUS#HELPER campaign used legitimate RMM software to bypass their expensive antivirus. This particular disaster affected companies relying on SimpleHelp and ScreenConnect to keep things running smoothly.

It appears that being a reputable U.K. vendor does not stop your signed software from becoming a burglar's best friend.
