2023 Security Breach

In late October 2023, Cyber Link was remotely infiltrated by Lazarus Group. The attackers were able to steal a software signing key and insert the malware "LambLoad" into authentically signed copies of CyberLinks software updates. The full extent of the damage caused by the resulting supply chain attack has yet to be determined.
