As many as three disparate but related campaigns between March and Jun 2022 have been found to deliver a variety of malware, including ModernLoader, RedLine Stealer, and cryptocurrency miners onto compromised systems.
"The actors use PowerShell, .NET assemblies, and HTA and VBS files to spread across a targeted network, eventually dropping other pieces of malware, such as the SystemBC trojan and DCRat , to enable various stages of their operations," Cisco Talos researcher Vanja Svajcer said in a report ...

Soul Hackers 2: how to recruit demons | Digital Trends
Shin Megami Tensei games, whether it be the main series or any of the numerous spin-offs, all center around battling and collecting demons. Sometimes compared to the Pokemon franchise, SMT's demons do have a lot in common with that series in terms of how they function.
Recruiting demons in Soul Hackers 2 is a very different process than how fans of the Persona series know it to be. In that game, you enter into demon negotiations where you talk with demons to try and lure them to your side, often costing some cash, while fighting them.
FBI: Hackers Are Exploiting DeFi Bugs to Steal Funds - Infosecurity Magazine
Cyber-criminals are increasingly exploiting bugs in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to steal investor funds, the FBI has warned.
In a Public Service Announcement (PSA) yesterday, the Feds claimed that vulnerabilities in smart contract code have been targeted in several ways, including:
Hackers hide malware in James Webb telescope images
The malware is written in Golang, a programming language that is gaining popularity among cybercriminals because it is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) and offers increased resistance to reverse engineering and analysis.
In the recent campaign discovered by researchers at Securonix, the threat actor drops payloads that are currently not marked as malicious by antivirus engines on the VirusTotal scanning platform.
Montenegro cyberattack: Russian hackers blamed for infrastructure hack
Montenegro issued a warning over a massive ongoing cyberattack against government services and key public infrastructure including power plants and water supplies.
The Montenegrin Agency for National Security (ANB) said the country had been caught up in a "hybrid war", with Russia using state-backed hackers to bring down infrastructure.
Microsoft Excel attacks fall out of fashion with hackers
"The prominent malware distributed via malicious Excel 4.0 macros was QakBot and Emotet. QakBot switched to a complex infection chain using HTML smuggling and DLL side-loading, which we highlight later in this report."
With Excel macros turned off by default, the researchers found that many of the larger malware groups had to find other ways of infecting machines with more complicated methods. The above-mentioned Qakbot was one extreme example.
OODA Loop - Russian hackers gain powerful 'MagicWeb' authentication bypass
Nobelium, a highly active Russian threat actor, has a new technique for bypassing authentication, according to Microsoft.
The US and the UK believe that the hackers are operating on behalf of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) due to the high-profile nature of its attacks. The threat actor is known for attacks against the supply chain, particularly the SolarWinds attack that targeted 18,000 customers.
Security Breach at Password Manager LastPass as Hackers Steal Source Code and Proprietary ...
LastPass offers multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional account security, but that might not protect against every possible avenue of attack that internal information could reveal.
There is also the possibility of a “cascading” attack on other websites and businesses via their own internal administrative accounts, as LastPass counts a number of major businesses among their customers: State Farm, Patagonia and Yelp among them, with the company claiming that it ...
