Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new Rust-based backdoor called ChaosBot that can allow operators to conduct reconnaissance and execute arbitrary commands on compromised hosts. "Threat actors leveraged compromised credentials that mapped to both Cisco VPN and an over-privileged Active Directory account named, 'serviceaccount,'" eSentire said in a technical report published

Threat actors are abusing Velociraptor, an open-source digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) tool, in connection with ransomware attacks likely orchestrated by Storm-2603 (aka CL-CRI-1040 or Gold Salem), which is known for deploying the Warlock and LockBit ransomware. The threat actor's use of the security utility was documented by Sophos last month. It's assessed that the attackers

Fortinet warns of Stealit, a MaaS infostealer, now targeting Windows systems and evading detection by using Node.js’s SEA feature while hiding in fake game and VPN installers.

Martin muses on why computers are less fun than campfires, why their dangers seem less real, and why he’s embarking on a lengthy research project to study this.
