Escalation in Akira Campaign Targeting SonicWall VPNs, Deploying Ransomware, With Malicious Logins
Friday the security researchers at Arctic Wolf Labs wrote:
In late July 2025, Arctic Wolf Labs began observing a surge of intrusions involving suspicious SonicWall SSL VPN activity. Malicious logins were followed within minutes by port scanning, Impacket SMB activity, and rapid deployment of Akira ransomware. Victims spanned across multiple sectors and organization sizes, suggesting opportunistic mass exploitation.
This campaign has recently escalated, with new infrastructure linked to it observed as late as September 20, 2025.
More from Cybersecurity News:
SonicWall has linked these malicious logins to CVE-2024-40766, an improper access control vulnerability disclosed in 2024. The working theory is that threat actors harvested credentials from devices that were previously vulnerable and are now using them in this campaign, even if the devices have since been patched. This explains why fully patched devices have been compromised, a fact that initially led to speculation about a potential zero-day exploit.
Once inside a network, the attackers operate with remarkable speed. The time from initial access to ransomware deployment, known as "dwell time," is often measured in hours, with some intrusions taking as little as 55 minutes, Arctic Wolf said. This extremely short window for response makes early detection critical.
"Threat actors in the present campaign successfully authenticated against accounts with the one-time password (OTP) MFA feature enabled..." notes Artic Wolf Labs:
The threats described in this campaign demand early detection and a rapid response to avoid catastrophic impact to organizations. To facilitate this process, we recommend monitoring for VPN logins originating from untrusted hosting infrastructure. Equally important is ensuring visibility into internal networks, since lateral movement and ransomware encryption can occur within hours or even minutes of initial access. Monitoring for anomalous SMB activity indicative of Impacket use provides an additional early detection opportunity.
When firewalls are confirmed to be running firmware versions vulnerable to credential access or full configuration export, patching alone is not enough. In such situations, credentials must be reset wherever possible, including MFA-related secrets that might otherwise be thought of as secure, and Active Directory credentials with VPN access. These considerations are best practices that apply regardless of which firewall products are in use.

Bundler's Lead Maintainer Asserts Trademark in Ongoing Struggle with Ruby Central
After the nonprofit Ruby Central removed all RubyGems' maintainers from its GitHub repository, André Arko — who helped build Bundler — wrote a new blog post on Thursday "detailing Bundler's relationship with Ruby Central," according to this update from The New Stack.
"In the last few weeks, Ruby Central has suddenly asserted that they alone own Bundler," he wrote. "That simply isn't true. In order to defend the reputation of the team of maintainers who have given so much time and energy to the project, I have registered my existing trademark on the Bundler project."
He adds that trademarks do not affect copyright, which stays with the original contributors unchanged. "Trademarks only impact one thing: Who is allowed say that what they make is named 'Bundler,'" he wrote. "Ruby Central is welcome to the code, just like everyone else. They are not welcome to the project name that the Bundler maintainers have painstakingly created over the last 15 years."
He is, however, not seeking the trademark for himself, noting that the "idea of Bundler belongs to the Ruby community." "Once there is a Ruby organization that is accountable to the maintainers, and accountable to the community, with openly and democratically elected board members, I commit to transfer my trademark to that organization," he said. "I will not license the trademark, and will instead transfer ownership entirely. Bundler should belong to the community, and I want to make sure that is true for as long as Bundler exists."
The blog It's FOSS also has an update on Spinel, the new worker-owned collective founded by Arko, Samuel Giddins [who Giddins led RubyGems security efforts], and Kasper Timm Hansen (who served served on the Rails core team from 2016 to 2022 and was one of its top contributors):
These guys aren't newcomers but some of the architects behind Ruby's foundational infrastructure. Their flagship offering is rv ["the Ruby swiss army knife"], a tool that aims to replace the fragmented Ruby tooling ecosystem. It promises to [in the future] handle everything from rvm, rbenv, chruby, bundler, rubygems, and others — all at once while redefining how Ruby development tools should work... Spinel operates on retainer agreements with companies needing Ruby expertise instead of depending on sponsors who can withdraw support or demand control. This model maintains independence while ensuring sustainability for the maintainers.
The Register had reported Thursday:
Spinel's 'rv' project aims to supplant elements of RubyGems and Bundler with a more modular, version-aware manager. Some in the Ruby community have already accused core Rails figures of positioning Spinel as a threat. For example, Rafael FranÃa of Shopify commented that admins of the new project should not be trusted to avoid "sabotaging rubygems or bundler."
