How Kopeechka, an Automated Social Media Accounts Creation Service, Can Facilitate Cybercrime
How Kopeechka, an Automated Social Media Accounts Creation Service, Can Facilitate Cybercrime
In recent years, cybercriminals have become increasingly professional — fraudsters have consistently been improving their skills, making less crucial mistakes, and creating various “as-a-service” businesses to help lower-skilled threat actors launch scams and attacks, allowing the latter to run full cybercrime operations. There are different types of cybercrime services that exist today, including malware-as-a-service, where cybercriminals develop and sell malware services to other malicious actors; the service also includes creating and spreading malware types such as ransomware on compromised hosts. Meanwhile, other services require the use of multiple social media accounts to be successfully carried out, such as misinformation, spamming, and malware propagation. Indeed, it’s not uncommon for cybercriminals to send thousands of spam messages using thousands of accounts on social media platforms. But how do they manage to automate all of it?

2022 RTF Global Ransomware Incident Map: Attacks continue worldwide, groups splinter, education sector hit hard
According to ecrime.ch data, confirmed ransomware incidents occurred in 105 countries, originating from 58 ransomware groups.  This number is relatively consistent with last year’s data, in which we calculated that incidents impacted organizations in 109 countries and documented at least 60 distinct ransomware families.  Though the overall statistics remain relatively consistent from last year to this year, there is more to the story: new trends in the ecosystem include the shifting dynamics of ransomware groups, the rise of the education sector as a key target, and the trends in geographic distribution of attacks.

Turning a boring file move into a privilege escalation on Mac | pwn.win
While poking around Parallels Desktop I found a script which is invoked by a setuid-root binary, which has the following snippet: local prl_dir="${usr_home}/Library/Parallels" if [ -e "$prl_dir" -a ! -d "$prl_dir" ]; then log warning "'${prl_dir}' is not a directory. Renaming it." mv -f "$prl_dir"{,~} continue fi Here ${usr_home} represents the home directory of the user for which Parallels Desktop is installed. The code says if ~/Library/Parallels exists and is not a directory then move it to ~/Library/Parallels~, presumably to back it up before creating this path as a directory.
