Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a PlugX sample that employs sneaky methods to infect attached removable USB media devices in order to propagate the malware to additional systems. "This PlugX variant is wormable and infects USB devices in such a way that it conceals itself from the Windows operating file system," Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers Mike Harbison and Jen Miller-Osborn

A backdoor in Solar-Log Gateway products allows remote access via web panel gaining super administration privileges to the attacker. This affects all Solar-Log devices that use firmware version v4.2.7 up to v5.1.1 (included).

The rapid maturation and rebranding of ransomware groups calls for relentless preparation and flexibility in response, according to one view from the trenches.

Cybersecurity researchers have unearthed a new Python-based attack campaign that leverages a Python-based remote access trojan (RAT) to gain control over compromised systems since at least August 2022. "This malware is unique in its utilization of WebSockets to avoid detection and for both command-and-control (C2) communication and exfiltration," Securonix said in a report shared with The Hacker
