Elastic Security Labs exposes an attempt by the DPRK to infect blockchain engineers with novel macOS malware.
The biggest companies in AI aren’t interested in paying to use copyrighted material as training data, and here are their reasons why.
The hacker collective called GhostSec has unveiled an innovative Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) framework called GhostLocker. They provide comprehensive assistance to customers interested in acquiring this service through a dedicated Telegram channel. Presently, GhostSec is focusing its attacks on Israel. This move represents a surprising departure from their past activities and stated agenda.
A new macOS malware dubbed 'KandyKorn' has been spotted in a campaign attributed to the North Korean Lazarus hacking group, targeting blockchain engineers of a cryptocurrency exchange platform.
The attackers impersonate members of the cryptocurrency community on Discord channels to spread Python-based modules that trigger a multi-stage KandyKorn infection chain.
Elastic Security discovered and attributed the attacks to Lazarus based on overlaps with past campaigns concerning the employed techniques, network infrastructure, code-signing certificates, and custom Lazarus detection rules.
