A threat actor is selling a new UEFI bootkit that comes with an anti-virtual machine (anti-VM), anti-debug, and code obfuscation features to block malware analysis attempts. Named BlackLotus, the malware is linked to APT41 threat actors and can be used to load unsigned drivers for launching Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.
Kaspersky researchers said that several unknown APT groups are actively exploiting a flaw in Zimbra Collaboration Suite worldwide. It observed two successive attack waves targeting this bug. Identified as CVE-2022-41352, with a CVSS score of 9.8, the bug lets an attacker upload arbitrary files to vulnerable show more ...
The tool, dubbed RedEye, helps visualize command-and-control activities, allowing the teams to replay assessment actions rather than manually parsing log files to recreate events.
This approach extracts text from an email and converts sentences to numeric vectors by encoding the meaning of words in the sentences using the neural network language model encodings.

The IT team blocked all external access and affected servers were brought offline as soon as the cyberattack became known, but the investigation concluded that business operations have not been impacted.
Researchers say, we found that these vulnerabilities are unlikely to be perceived as mass exploits, but several of them potentially present a mechanism for knowledgeable attackers to hack high-value sites via tailored attacks.
In its latest activities, Winnti focused on Hong Kong and Srilankan organizations. It deployed Spyder Loader (Trojan.Spyload) malware on victim networks in Hong Kong, mostly as a part of the CuckooBees campaign.
The flaw exists in Apache Commons Text, a library released in 2017 that focuses on algorithms enabling a variety of functionalities around strings. The proof-of-concept (PoC) code for the flaw is available.
The initial infection method – the distribution of the framework through security solution packages – afforded the threat actor to perform cyberespionage activities with some level of stealth.
The project is named Sparrow and it revolves around a new operating system named KataOS, for which Google has already open-sourced several components. The tech giant pointed out that KataOS is mostly developed in Rust, which makes it more secure.
