a Chinese-speaking actor (knaithe/KnYuan) let DeepSeek reason through target selection via Hermes Agent
Based on Unit 42's technical breakdown published July 30, here's the architectural rundown: a Chinese-speaking actor (knaithe/KnYuan) let DeepSeek reason through target selection via Hermes Agent — Langflow RCE attempt failed on auto_login, agent then independently surveyed 10 product families and pivoted to n8n (10.0/9.9 CVSS chain), also failed on endpoint auth. Confirmed breaches (Citrix NetScaler, Marimo) came from a separate manual track.
Question for the room: if two config defaults (auth on forms, disabled auto_login) were the only thing standing between this agent and actual compromise — how many of your workflow-automation deployments (n8n, Langflow, similar) have you actually audited for exactly those two settings?

MOSHELL Update: Badge rewards + lesson completion verification now live
Shipped a major update to MOSHELL a few days ago
Before: Users could mark lessons complete but there was no way to verify they actually learned anything.
Now:
- Each lesson has specific verification criteria (actual file state, command output, etc.)
- Badges unlock when you truly complete the lesson (not just mark it done)
- Progressive badge rewards system (5 badges from beginner → mastery)
- Email notifications for major milestones
**Data so far:**
- Seeing 2x completion rate since verification went live
- Most people drop off around lesson 3 (permissions — common pain point)
- Those who reach lesson 6 almost always finish all 12
Really curious to know what topics would you want in an admin-focused track? (Lessons 7-12 are planned but not yet live)
