FEBRUARY 21st was a typical day, recalls Ben Zhou, the boss of ByBit, a Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange. Before going to bed, he approved a fund transfer between the firm’s accounts, a “typical manoeuvre” performed while servicing more than 60m users around the world. Half an hour later he got a phone call. “Ben, there’s an issue,” his chief financial officer said, voice shaking. “We might be hacked…all of the Ethereum is gone.”

Une opération de sensibilisation en direction d’une cible particulièrement exposée Les établissements scolaires sont régulièrement ciblés par des attaques malveillantes via les espaces numériques de travail (ENT) des élèves. Ces actions cybercriminelles génèrent une forte pression sur les élèves, ce qui avait notamment conduit à la fermeture des ENT courant 2024.
Lucid is a sophisticated Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platform operated by Chinese-speaking threat actors, targeting 169 entities across 88 countries globally. With 129 active instances and 1000+ registered domains, Lucid ranks among prominent PhaaS platforms, alongside Darcula and Lighthouse.
Its scalable, subscription-based model enables cybercriminals to conduct large-scale phishing campaigns to harvest credit card details for financial fraud. The platform employs an automated attack delivery mechanism, deploying customizable phishing websites distributed primarily through SMS-based lures. To enhance effectiveness, Lucid leverages Apple iMessage and Android’s RCS technology, bypassing traditional SMS spam filters and significantly increasing delivery and success rates.
Lucid incorporates advanced anti-detection and evasion techniques, such as IP blocking and user-agent filtering, to prolong the lifespan of its phishing sites. Additionally, it features a built-in card generator, enabling threat actors to validate and exploit stolen payment data efficiently. Given its advanced infrastructure and persistent activity, Lucid poses a significant and ongoing cyber threat. Its operations underscore the growing reliance on PhaaS platforms to facilitate payment fraud and financial cybercrime, necessitating heightened vigilance and proactive mitigation efforts.
Next.js is an open-source web framework built by Vercel that powers React-based apps with features like server-side and static rendering. Recently, a critical vulnerability (CVE) was disclosed that lets attackers bypass middleware-based authorization checks. The issue was originally discovered and analyzed by Rachid Allam (zhero). In this blog, we’ll break down the vulnerability and walk through their research and will create a Nuclei template to help you detect it across your assets.

You know when you're really jet lagged and really tired and the cogs in your head are just moving that little bit too slow? That's me right now, and the penny has just dropped that a Mailchimp phish has grabbed my credentials, logged into my account and exported the mailing list for this blog. I'm deliberately keeping this post very succinct to ensure the message goes out to my impacted subscribers ASAP, then I'll update the post with more details.

Recently, Yasser Allam, known by the pseudonym inzo_, and I, decided to team up for some research. We discussed potential targets and chose to begin by focusing on Next.js (130K stars on github, currently downloaded + 9,4 million times per week), a framework I know quite well and with which I already have fond memories, as evidenced by my previous work. Therefore, the “we” throughout this paper will naturally refer to the two of us.
Next.js is a comprehensive javascript framework based on React, packed with numerous features — the perfect playground for diving into the intricacies of research. We set out, fueled by faith, curiosity, and resilience, to explore its lesser-known aspects, hunting for hidden treasures waiting to be found.
It didn’t take long before we uncovered a great discovery in the middleware. The impact is considerable, with all versions affected, and no preconditions for exploitability — as we’ll demonstrate shortly.
