Firmware in cellular routers, secure routers and network security appliances made by Moxa are vulnerable to a pair of high severity bugs.

After the excitement of our .MOBI research, we were left twiddling our thumbs. As you may recall, in 2024, we demonstrated the impact of an unregistered domain when we subverted the TLS/SSL CA process for verifying domain ownership to give ourselves the ability to issue valid and trusted TLS/

• FireScam is an information stealing malware with spyware capabilities.
  It is distributed as a fake ‘Telegram Premium’ APK via a phishing website hosted on the GitHub.io domain, mimicking the RuStore app store.
• The phishing website delivers a dropper that installs the FireScam malware disguised as the Telegram Premium application.
• The malware exfiltrates sensitive data, including notifications, messages, and other app data, to a Firebase Realtime Database endpoint.
• FireScam monitors device activities such as screen state changes, e-commerce transactions, clipboard activity, and user engagement to gather valuable information covertly.
• Captures notifications across various apps, including system apps, to potentially steal sensitive information and track user activities.
• It employs obfuscation techniques to hide its intent and evade detection by security tools and researchers.
• FireScam performs checks to identify if it is running in an analysis or virtualized environment.
• The malware leverages Firebase for command-and-control communication, data storage, and to deliver additional malicious payloads.
• Exfiltrated data is temporarily stored in the Firebase Realtime Database, filtered for valuable content, and later removed.
• The Firebase database reveals potential Telegram IDs linked to the threat actors and contains URLs to other malware specimens hosted on the phishing site.
• By exploiting the popularity of messaging apps and other widely used applications, FireScam poses a significant threat to individuals and organizations worldwide.

Invitations to try a beta lead to a fake game website where victims will get an information stealer instead of the promised game

A phishing campaign is using CrowdStrike recruitment branding to deliver malware disguised as a fake application. Learn more.

Telegram reveals that the communications platform has fulfilled 900 U.S. government requests, sharing the phone number or IP address information of 2,253 users with law enforcement.

The defendants used stolen API keys to gain access to devices and accounts with Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service, which they then used to generate “thousands” of images that violated content restrictions.

The Green Bay Packers American football team is notifying fans that a threat actor hacked its official online retail store in October and injected a card skimmer script to steal customers' personal and payment information.

ICAO says the incident was allegedly linked to a hacker 'known for targeting international organizations'

We agree - modern security engineering is hard - but none of this is modern. We are discussing vulnerability classes - with no sophisticated trigger mechanisms that fuzzing couldnt find - discovered in the 1990s, that can be trivially discovered via basic fuzzing, SAST (the things product security teams do with real code access).

As an industry, should we really be communicating that these vulnerability classes are simply too complex for a multi-billion dollar technology company that builds enterprise-grade, enterprise-priced network security solutions to proactively resolve?
