The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released an advisory detailing the risks, affected products, and mitigation steps. RadiAnt DICOM Viewer Vulnerability Overview The vulnerability exists in RadiAnt DICOM Viewer (Version 2024.02) due to improper certificate validation (CWE-295). This flaw arises from the failure of the update mechanism to verify the authenticity of the update server’s certificate. If exploited, this vulnerability could enable a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, allowing an attacker to manipulate network traffic and deliver a malicious update to unsuspecting users. CVSS Score and Risk Level The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.7, indicating a medium-level risk. The CVSS vector string is (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N). A CVSS v4 score of 5.7 has also been calculated, with the vector string (AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). Although the attack complexity is low, exploitation requires user interaction, meaning an attacker would need to trick a user into initiating an update process. Affected Products The vulnerability specifically affects: RadiAnt DICOM Viewer: Version 2024.02 Potential Impact on Healthcare and Public Health Sectors Medixant’s RadiAnt DICOM Viewer is widely used in the healthcare and public health sectors globally. Any security weakness in this software poses significant risks, as attackers could manipulate updates to inject malicious code into healthcare systems, potentially compromising patient data integrity and system security.

Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) has uncovered a stealthy campaign that uses malicious LNK files disguised as seemingly innocent wallpapers to deliver AsyncRAT—an infamous remote access trojan (RAT).   This attack chain is designed to exploit various vulnerabilities, utilizing sophisticated techniques to   show more ...  

evade detection and achieve persistence on the victim's system. With advanced evasion methods like Null-AMSI, this campaign has the potential to bypass traditional security measures, posing a cyber risk to users worldwide.  Overview of the AsyncRAT Campaign  Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs have traced the origins of this campaign to a Portuguese-speaking threat actor. Evidence in the form of comments and error messages within the malicious scripts indicates that the attackers are likely native to a Portuguese-speaking region, potentially leveraging this to avoid detection or forensic analysis. [caption id="attachment_101003" align="alignnone" width="761"] Infection chain (Source: Cyble)[/caption] The campaign's infection method is deceptively simple: attackers exploit the victim’s interests by offering a wallpaper featuring popular characters like Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto—or other anime characters like Itachi Uchiha—through a malicious LNK shortcut. These LNK files, once executed, unleash a multi-stage malware attack, eventually deploying AsyncRAT for remote control of the victim's machine. Upon activation, the LNK file runs an obfuscated PowerShell script that connects to external servers to retrieve additional malicious payloads. These payloads execute directly in memory, ensuring that they don't leave traces on the disk, making it harder for antivirus software to detect them. The payloads downloaded by these scripts are encrypted and compressed, further hindering security researchers from analyzing them. The Role of Null-AMSI  [caption id="attachment_101004" align="alignnone" width="391"] Malicious LNK file (Source: Cyble)[/caption] One of the most concerning aspects of this campaign is the use of Null-AMSI, an open-source tool that allows the attackers to bypass the AMSI—an important security feature built into Windows to detect and block malicious scripts. Null-AMSI enables malware to evade detection by disabling AMSI and ETW. This tool is critical for the attackers as it ensures their payloads can execute without triggering security alerts.  Using techniques such as reflection and native .NET functions, Null-AMSI manipulates memory in real-time to bypass AMSI protections. The attackers exploit these memory manipulations to patch key system functions, thus avoiding detection and allowing their malware to run freely in the background without being flagged by security software. Infection Chain and Payload Delivery  [caption id="attachment_101006" align="alignnone" width="375"] Lure Image (Source: Cyble)[/caption] The infection chain begins when the victim unknowingly executes the malicious LNK file, often disguised as a sasuke wallpaper.lnk. This file executes an obfuscated PowerShell script via the command line, which fetches a secondary payload from an external URL and executes it directly in memory. This initial payload is an important step in the infection chain, as it retrieves more files, including batch scripts responsible for ensuring the malware’s persistence.  [caption id="attachment_101008" align="alignnone" width="296"] Lure Image 2 (Source: Cyble)[/caption] Once the malware payload is downloaded, it further obfuscates its actions by employing AES encryption and GZIP compression. This makes it extremely difficult for security solutions to detect the malware before it is executed. Upon successful decryption and decompression, the final stage of the malware deployment involves the AsyncRAT payload, which is responsible for giving the attacker full remote control over the compromised system. Technical Deep Dive  The attacker’s use of AsyncRAT is crucial to the campaign’s success. AsyncRAT allows the threat actor to steal sensitive data, install additional malware, and execute arbitrary commands on the victim’s machine. The final payload is carefully hidden within encrypted files, such as a sasuke wallpaper, which serves as the lure to distract the victim. The wallpaper file contains hidden Base64-encoded malicious content that activates in the background, ultimately delivering the AsyncRAT payload. The output.bat file is a particularly important part of this attack. It is highly obfuscated and contains Base64-encoded PowerShell code that, when executed, retrieves another PowerShell script designed to bypass AMSI and ETW. This step is crucial in ensuring that the attack is not detected by traditional security tools.  Once the malware executes, it alters the system’s memory protections and patches key system functions, effectively disabling the AMSI and ETW. This ensures that the malicious activity remains hidden from security programs, allowing the attackers to maintain control over the system. Reflection Loading and Persistence  The final step in the infection chain involves reflection loading, a technique where the malware executes code directly within PowerShell memory. This allows the attackers to inject malicious code into memory without writing it to disk, making detection even more difficult. The AsyncRAT loader ensures persistence by copying itself to the startup folder, ensuring that it runs every time the system starts. Once the AsyncRAT payload is loaded, it establishes control over the victim's system, allowing the attacker to remotely control the machine, steal data, install additional malware, or launch further attacks. Bypassing Traditional Security Measures  The campaign’s use of Null-AMSI and other advanced techniques demonstrates a growing trend in the cyber threat landscape: attackers are increasingly leveraging sophisticated tools to bypass traditional security measures. By exploiting vulnerabilities in PowerShell, AMSI, and ETW, the attackers are able to stealthily deploy AsyncRAT without triggering any security alerts.  The encryption and compression techniques further complicate the analysis, as the malicious payloads are hidden until they are decrypted and executed dynamically. This makes it difficult for security tools to catch the attack before it is fully deployed.  Conclusion  This campaign highlights the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, where advanced evasion techniques, like Null-AMSI, allow attackers to bypass traditional security and stealthily execute malware like AsyncRAT. To protect against these threats, users should avoid downloading files or clicking links from untrusted sources. Antivirus and endpoint solutions must detect AMSI bypass techniques, and PowerShell policies should restrict unauthorized scripts. Regular network monitoring and timely system updates are essential for patching vulnerabilities. Organizations should also educate users about phishing, social engineering, and safe browsing to reduce the risk of such attacks. Cyble, a leader in AI-powered cybersecurity, provides advanced threat intelligence through its Cyble Vision platform. This enables real-time monitoring and proactive defense, helping organizations stay protected from cyber threats.

Your messaging-app account might be of interest to more than just jealous spouses or nosy coworkers. Stolen WhatsApp accounts fuel large-scale criminal activity — ranging from spam distribution to complex scam schemes. Thats why cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for WhatsApp accounts — using various   show more ...  

methods to hijack them. Here are eight signs your account may already be compromised. You get replies to messages you never sent. Friends complain about strange messages coming from your account. You notice deleted messages in chats, including from yourself — even though you never sent or deleted anything there. You receive a WhatsApp login verification code that you didnt request or expect. Your account has a status or has posted stories you didnt create. Your profile picture, name, or account description has changed unexpectedly. Youve been added to chats or groups you never joined. When you try to log in, WhatsApp informs you that your account is in use on another device and prompts you to re-register (this is the most telling sign). Pay special attention to the first three signs, and act immediately if you notice them — hackers often use compromised accounts to scam a victims friends and family. They might impersonate you to request urgent financial help, promise gifts, or invite people to participate in fake polls. In any of these cases, your friends could get scammed — with your unwitting help. Two ways hackers can hijack your WhatsApp account Cybercriminals can take control of your WhatsApp account in one of two ways. They either add another device to your account using the Linked devices feature, or re-register your account on their device as if youd bought a new phone. In the former case, you continue using WhatsApp as usual but the criminals also have access to it, including to your recent conversations. In the second case, you lose access to your account, and when you try to log in, WhatsApp notifies you that your account is in use on another device. The attackers can control your account, but wont have access to your past conversations. What to do if your WhatsApp account has been hacked Make sure the SIM card linked to your WhatsApp account is inserted in your smartphone. Open WhatsApp on this smartphone. If it opens normally: Go to the WhatsApp settings — Settings on iPhone, or the additional menu (three dots) on Android. Tap Linked devices. Tap each device listed on this page. Tap Log Out. This will disconnect all additional devices from your account and cut off the attackers. If the messenger tells you that youre logged out and need to register: Enter your phone number. Request a one-time registration code. Wait for an SMS or a voice call with the code. Enter the received code. If your account was protected with a two-step verification PIN, after entering the one-time registration code, enter your PIN as well. WhatsApp may offer to restore your chats and settings from a backup in iCloud, Google Drive, or local storage. Accept! If you hadnt previously set a two-step verification PIN, but WhatsApp requests it after you enter the one-time code, the attackers may have set a PIN to prevent you from regaining access to your account. The PIN can be reset using the Forgot PIN If an email address is linked to your WhatsApp account, youll receive a PIN reset link instantly. Go to your email, open the latest message from WhatsApp, tap the link inside, and then Confirm. After this, you can return to WhatsApp and set a new PIN. If you hadnt linked an email address, you can still request a PIN reset, but youll have to wait a week before the PIN is removed. During this time, your WhatsApp account will remain inaccessible. After a week, you can log back in to your account following the instructions above. Once youve completed these steps, the attackers will be disconnected from your account. However, they may attempt to hijack it again, so be sure to follow the security tips below. Warn your friends and family Attackers may have sent tragic or provocative messages to your contacts, impersonating you. To ensure no one panics thinking youre in hospital, got arrested, or had an accident — and to prevent them from sending money to help — inform as many people as possible that your account was hacked and that they should ignore any strange or unexpected messages sent earlier. For close friends, family, and coworkers, its best to call them personally. A less intrusive way to warn many people at once is to update your WhatsApp status. Go to Settings, tap your name, and in the About field, write something like, My WhatsApp was hacked! Dont trust messages from me, dont send money, no help is needed. Its also a good idea to post the same warning on other social networks. If your account has been restricted or banned for spam If hackers used your account to send spam, WhatsApp may temporarily restrict it for a few hours or days. After following the steps above and regaining control of your account, you may find youre unable to send messages. In this case, appeal the restriction using the Request a review button, found under the notification about the imposed restrictions. After tapping this button, the restriction wont be lifted immediately — depending on WhatsApps internal algorithms, it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to three days. Unfortunately, theres no way to speed up this process. How to protect your account from being hacked again Weve provided a detailed guide on WhatsApp security and privacy settings in a separate article, but here are the key points: Enable two-step verification in WhatsApp and memorize your PIN — its not a one-time code. To do this, go to Settings -> Account -> Two-step verification. Never, ever share your PIN or one-time registration codes with anyone. Only scammers ask for these details. WhatsApp recently introduced support for passkeys. If you enable this option (Settings -> Account -> Passkeys), logging in to your account will require biometric authentication, and instead of PIN codes, your smartphone will store a long cryptographic key. This is a very secure option, but it may not be convenient if you frequently change devices and switch between Android and iOS. Set up a backup email address for account recovery: Settings -> Account -> Email address. If youve already added an email address, log in to your email account and change your password to a strong, unique one. To store it securely, use a password manager, such as Kaspersky Password Manager. Enable two-factor authentication for your email account. Make sure you havent fallen victim to a SIM swap scam. Contact your mobile carrier — preferably in person — and verify that no duplicate SIM cards have recently been issued for your number. Also, make sure theres no unauthorized call-forwarding set up on your number. Cancel any suspicious changes and ask the staff about additional security measures for your SIM card. These may include prohibiting SIM-related actions without your being present, an extra password required for authentication, or other protections. Available security measures vary significantly by country and mobile carrier. Any security measures in WhatsApp will be of little use if your smartphone or computer is infected with malware. Therefore, be sure to install comprehensive protection on all your devices.

tasks—browsing, shopping, banking, gaming, and more. Then think about all the content that you share on these devices every day; much of it likely contains sensitive or critical information that, in the wrong hands, could lead to serious damage with long-lasting impact. The solution? Comprehensive digital protection. Webroot Total Protection is the latest release in our Customer Digital Life Protection strategy that checks all the boxes. It’s a top-end, true all-in-one offering based on a new platform that combines antivirus, password manager, identity protection, VPN, backup, and parental controls. 1. Protect your devices from viruses How confident are you that your digital music, photos, and important documents—as well as email and applications—are safe? Cybercriminals are constantly developing new malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks that can steal identities, encrypt memorable family photos and documents for ransom, and turn home computers into devices that criminals take over to send spam or steal data. Effective security software shields you from worms, trojans, adware, and more. And it protects not just your PC and laptop, but also your tablets, smartphones, and other digital devices. Comprehensive antivirus software is most effective when used in conjunction with security best practices. Here are a few: Make sure your antivirus software performs scans regularly Install the latest security patches for your operating systems Keep your antivirus software up to date Be careful when downloading new apps onto devices; only download from app stores you trust Regularly backup important data 2. Protect your privacy in your online activities Sharing information has become commonplace in our digital lives. From purchasing a plane ticket to opening a bank account and registering to vote, or simply doing your grocery shopping online, getting through the day without sharing at least some personal information online seems nearly impossible. The flip side to this convenience, however, is that we risk losing control over who can access our personal information. Malicious actors are constantly seeking to collect personal data to commit fraud, steal identities, harass and threaten individuals, and more. Protecting privacy is a top priority for families facing growing threats. Password managers generate strong, unique passwords and simplify their use, protecting you and saving time by automatically filling in credentials for website and app logins. Besides, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that establishes secure connections to public Wi-Fi hotspots by encrypting data transmission will keep you safe and anonymous when you’re away from home. By paying attention to your device settings you can take steps to protect your privacy across your digital life: Social media: Choose who can see your posts, photos, and personal information and review these settings regularly. Set your default sharing settings to “friends” or a more restricted group rather than “public.” Check which third-party apps have access to your account and remove those you no longer use. Mobile devices: Disable location, camera, microphone, and contact list access for apps that don’t truly need them. Consider turning off location services when not needed and review which apps track your location in the background. Web browsers: Clear your browsing history and cookies regularly, block third-party cookies, and enable “do not track” features. Review and manage which sites can send you notifications, access your location, or use your camera/microphone. Smart home devices: Review privacy settings for voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home regularly. Check what data these devices collect and adjust accordingly. Email services: Keep tabs on apps and services that have access to your email account. Adjust spam filter settings to your preferences. Operating systems: Check your privacy settings to control app permissions, data access, and tracking features. 3. Safeguard your identity and private information Once only seen in spy movies, identity theft today is very real, and poses serious financial, legal, and personal consequences. Bad actors can drain your bank accounts, open fraudulent credit cards, take out loans, file false tax returns, obtain medical services in your name, and more. The results range from damaged credit and mounting debt to inaccurate medical records and reputation damage. Some steps you can take to protect your identity include: Monitoring financial activity: Check bank and credit card statements each month for unauthorized charges. Set up alerts for unusual transactions and review your credit reports. Securing personal information: Only share Social Security numbers, birth dates, or account numbers when absolutely necessary. Shred or securely dispose of documents containing sensitive information and keep important documents in a secure location. Be wary of scams: You shouldn’t respond to unsolicited phone calls, emails, or texts requesting personal information—legitimate organizations typically won’t ask for sensitive details through these channels. Consider additional protection: Identity theft protection services monitor your credit and personal information for suspicious activity and alert you to anomalies. Many will also reimburse up to $1 million for fraud expenses, stolen funds, and related costs such as lawyer and expert fees, lost wages, private investigator charges, and additional childcare or eldercare. They can also help you re-establish your identity—on average it takes 200 hours to restore an identity after fraud. How does an identity protection plan work? Usually such services include a secure online portal where you can register your personal data, like date of birth, driver’s license, SSN, account numbers, and more. Once you subscribe, make sure to take the time to create your profile and that of your family members, so you can start getting identity health reports and rapid alerts right away in case anything fraudulent is detected! If identity theft does happen, freeze any accounts with fraudulent charges and establish a fraud alert with credit bureaus. You can file an official identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov. Contact relevant organizations, such as the Social Security Administration if your SSN was stolen. Close compromised accounts and open new ones with different account numbers, and new passwords and PINs. If you think the process of restoring your identity after theft is daunting, rest assure that cybersecurity or insurance companies offer identity protection plans that include the help of a remediation expert, who can guide you through the process. These professionals have in-depth knowledge of identity theft laws, credit reporting procedures, fraud resolution practices, and how to interact with various institutions to resolve issues effectively. Protect the data, document and precious memories stored on your devices Theft isn’t the only threat to data – consider the impact that hardware failures, coffee spills, and accidental deletions can have on favorite photos, digital memories, and other unreplaceable items. This is where data encryption and automated backups come in. Data encryption protects data by translating it into a different, unreadable form using an encryption key. When it’s in that encrypted form, only someone with the unique decryption key or password can translate the data back into its readable state. Encryption is one of the most effective and widely used forms of data security available. With automated backup you can create a backup schedule that you can set and forget. Back-up files are typically uploaded to the cloud so they are accessible from anywhere. Changes that you make on your files are reflected in the backup ones. Data protection best practices include: Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule: three copies of data, on two different types of media, with one copy off-site Test restore procedures regularly Keep encryption keys and passwords secure but accessible Monitor backup logs and storage capacity Regularly update backup software for security patches You may already be protected in one or several of these areas, but how could you make sure you truly have comprehensive protection? Introducing Webroot Total Protection With the mounting threats out there, it’s time to consider comprehensive digital protection so you can rest easy that your devices are safe and your content, identity, and privacy are protected. Webroot Total Protection empowers families to enjoy their digital life to the fullest by protecting connected devices, documents, best memories, online transactions, and identities in a way that’s flexible and affordable.Learn more about what Webroot Total Protection can do for your digital life.
