In September 2025, Volexity conducted an incident response engagement that began after suspicious network traffic was observed from a Linux-based virtual machine appliance on a customer’s network. The virtual machine was an Egnyte Storage Sync system, which is designed to facilitate sync local on-premise files with the cloud. Volexity discovered that instead of connecting to a domain affiliated with Egnyte, the appliance was connecting to a threat-actor-controlled domain behind Cloudflare IP addresses.

UNC5221, a Chinese APT, isn't relying on one backdoor. They're building an "access portfolio" with new malware like Brickstorm and Plenet, exploiting zero-days and edge devices to maintain persistent access for over 18 months. This multi-malware strategy allows re-breaches, turning incident response into a resource drain. Discover their tactics and the real impact.
