The threat actors behind the PikaBot malware have made significant changes to the malware in what has been described as a case of “devolution.” “Although it appears to be in a new development cycle and testing phase, the developers have reduced the complexity of the code by removing advanced obfuscation techniques and changing the network
Read MoreThe Glupteba botnet has been found to incorporate a previously undocumented Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) bootkit feature, adding another layer of sophistication and stealth to the malware. “This bootkit can intervene and control the [operating system] boot process, enabling Glupteba to hide itself and create a stealthy persistence that can be extremely difficult to detect and
Read MoreWhen it comes to access security, one recommendation stands out above the rest: multi-factor authentication (MFA). With passwords alone being simple work for hackers, MFA provides an essential layer of protection against breaches. However, it’s important to remember that MFA isn’t foolproof. It can be bypassed, and it often is. If a password is compromised,
Read MoreCybersecurity researchers have uncovered an “implementation vulnerability” that has made it possible to reconstruct encryption keys and decrypt data locked by Rhysida ransomware. The findings were published last week by a group of researchers from Kookmin University and the Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA). “Through a comprehensive analysis of Rhysida Ransomware, we identified an
