Key Findings: * The use of Microsoft OneNote documents to deliver malware via email is increasing. * Multiple cybercriminal threat actors are using OneNote documents to deliver malware. * While some campaigns are targeted at specific industries, most are broadly targeted and include thousands of messages. * In order to detonate the payload, an end-user must interact with the OneNote document. * Campaigns have impacted organizations globally, including North America and Europe. * TA577 returned from a month-long hiatus in activity and began using OneNote to deliver Qbot at the end of January 2023.

While conducting routine threat hunting for macOS malware on Ad networks, I stumbled upon an unusual Shlayer sample.

Here we go with another episode about our (not so) old friend, BRATA. In almost one year, threat actors (TAs) have further improved the capabilities of this malware. In our previous blog post [1] we defined three main BRATA variants, which appeared during two different waves detected by our telemetries at the very end of 2021. However, during the last months we have observed a change in the attack pattern commonly used.
