Here's a roundup of this week's top [Palo Alto Networks news](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/category/news-of-the-week/).

Palo Alto Networks examines the [CHS breach and Heartbleed exploitation](http://bit.ly/1qr3uWh), another example that reiterates how serious this vulnerability is and how critical protection against it remains.

Last week we reported on attacks observed against East Asia that used Google Code for command and control (C2). As follow-on to that work, we pivoted on the C2 indicators of compromise within our WildFire platform, looking for additional malicious activity. [Check out the sample that caught our attention](http://bit.ly/1tmJSH1).
