FluBot is a new Android malware first discovered in December 2020. During the first few months, FluBot has been active in Spain, Hungary and Poland. Since then, the development of the malware advan…

In July 2021, CPR released a series of three publications covering different aspects of how the Formbook and XLoader malware families function. We described how XLoader emerged in the Darknet community to fill the empty niche after Formbook sales were abruptly stopped by its author. We did a deep technical analysis followed by a description of XLoader for macOS along with common points and differences in how both malware families conceal the heart of the whole operation, the Command-and-Control (C&C) infrastructure. However, the world does not stand still, and this applies to the malware cyber-world as well.

We discovered that Gimmick MacOS malware communicates only through their C2 server hosted on Google Drive. The malware was discovered in the first week of May and it has been actively targeting macOS devices

Observing a 254% increase in activity over the last six months from a versatile Linux trojan called XorDdos, the Microsoft 365 Defender research team provides in-depth analysis into this stealthy malware's capabilities and key infection signs.

Research is largely theoretical but exposes an overlooked security issue.

In this analysis, Cyble looks at the Eternity Malware suite, listing a wide variety of malware for sale on Telegram.

While Windows holds the largest market share on malware, macOS has its fair share of threats that mostly exist in an adware/grayware area. In this post I want to walk through how a Pirrit PKG file installer works. There are lots of more complex threats, but this is a good place to start if you’re just jumping into analysis. If you want to follow along at home, I’m working with this file in MalwareBazaar: https://bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/d39426dbceb54bba51587242f8101184df43cc23af7dc7b364ca2327e28e7825/.

In this two-part blog series, we expose a modern malware infrastructure and provide guidance for protecting against the wide range of threats it enables. Part 1 covers the evolution of the threat, how it spreads, and how it impacts organizations. Part 2 is a deep dive on the attacker behavior and will provide investigation guidance.

The attack was the first in five years to use Sandworm's Industroyer malware.

In late 2021, Volexity discovered an intrusion in an environment monitored as part of its Network Security Monitoring service. Volexity detected a system running frp, otherwise known as fast reverse proxy, and subsequently detected internal port scanning shortly afterward. This traffic was determined to be unauthorized and the system, a MacBook Pro running macOS 11.6 (Big Sur), was isolated for further forensic analysis. Volexity was able to run Surge Collect to acquire system memory (RAM) and select files of interest from the machine for analysis. This led to the discovery of a macOS variant of a malware implant Volexity calls GIMMICK. Volexity has encountered Windows versions of the malware family on several previous occasions. GIMMICK is used in targeted attacks by Storm Cloud, a Chinese espionage threat actor known to attack organizations across Asia. It is a feature-rich, multi-platform malware family that uses public cloud hosting services (such as Google […]

We recently came across a stealer, called Raccoon Stealer, a name given to it by its author. Raccoon Stealer uses the Telegram infrastructure to store and update actual C&C addresses.  Raccoon Stealer is a password stealer capable of stealing not just passwords, but various types of data, including: Cookies, saved logins and forms data from […]

The prolific China APT41 hacking group, known for carrying out espionage in parallel with financially motivated operations, has compromised multiple U.S. state government networks, according to cybersecurity giant Mandiant. The group — seemingly undeterred by U.S. indictments against five APT41 members in 2020 — conducted a months-long campaign during which it targeted and successfully breached […]

Threat actors are using stolen NVIDIA code signing certificates to sign malware to appear trustworthy and allow malicious drivers to be loaded in Windows. This week, NVIDIA confirmed that they suffered a cyberattack that allowed threat actors to steal employee credentials and proprietary data.

A spear-phishing campaign likely coordinated by a state-backed threat actor has been targeting European government personnel providing logistics support to Ukrainian refugees.

Two cybersecurity firms with a strong business presence in Ukraine—ESET and Broadcom’s Symantec—have reported tonight that computer networks in the country have been hit with a new data-wiping attack. The attack is taking place as Russian military troops have crossed the border and invaded Ukraine’s territory in what Russian President Putin has described as a “peacekeeping” mission.

The year's 1st Chrome zero-day can lead to all sorts of misery, ranging from data corruption to the execution of arbitrary code on vulnerable systems.

As early as Dec. 21, 2021, Unit 42 observed a new infection method for the highly prevalent malware family Emotet. Emotet is high-volume malware that often changes and modifies its attack patterns. This latest modification of the Emotet attack follows suit.

Un inquiétant cheval de Troie très discret et multiplateformes vient d'être repéré. Baptisé SysJoker et mis en lumière par la firme de sécurité Intezer, il peut cibler autant Windows, Linux que macOS. Pire encore, celui-ci passait sous les radars des antivirus depuis un bout de temps. Les versions Linux et macOS n'étaient jusqu'à présent pas du tout détectées par des sites

In December 2021, we discovered a new multi-platform backdoor that targets Windows, Mac, and Linux that we have named SysJoker.
