BlueMoon exploit kit turns Chrome and Windows flaws into attacks
Proofpoint documents BlueMoon exploit kit used by four espionage groups to chain Chrome V8 and Windows flaws via phishing, all now in CISA's KEV.
Proofpoint identified a shared Chrome and Windows exploit kit, BlueMoon, used by four espionage groups against Chrome on Windows within days of one another.
