Hey 👋 there, cyber friends!

Welcome to **this week's cybersecurity newsletter**, where we aim to keep you informed and empowered in the ever-changing world of cyber threats.

In today's edition, we will cover some interesting developments in the cybersecurity landscape and share some insightful analysis of each to help you protect yourself against potential attacks.

****1\. Apple 📱 Devices Hacked with New Zero-Day Bug - Update ASAP!****

Have you updated your Apple devices lately? If not, it's time to do so, as the tech giant just released security updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Safari. The update is to fix a zero-day vulnerability that hackers have been exploiting.

This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-23529, is related to a type confusion bug in the WebKit browser engine. What does this mean? Well, it means that if you visit a website with malicious code, the bug can be activated, leading to arbitrary code execution. In other words, hackers can take control of your device and access all your data.

It's scary to think that simply visiting a website could lead to a security breach. This is why it's essential to keep your devices updated with the latest security patches.

****2\. Don't Be the Next Victim: ESXiArgs Ransomware 💥 Strikes 500+ New European Targets****

In a recent discovery by cybersecurity firm Censys, more than 500 hosts have fallen victim to the ESXiArgs ransomware strain. Most of these compromised hosts are located in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K., and Ukraine. What's particularly concerning is that Censys found two hosts with ransom notes dating back to mid-October 2022, shortly after ESXi versions 6.5 and 6.7 reached their end of life.

This means that the attackers behind ESXiArgs have been active for several months, and were able to gain a foothold in these hosts during a time when they were no longer receiving security updates or patches. It also shows that ransomware attacks can take a while to gain traction, and can often go undetected for months before they are discovered.

What's even more alarming is that the ransom notes on the two hosts were updated on January 31, 2023, with a revised version that matches the ones used in the current wave of attacks. This suggests that the attackers have been refining their tactics and improving their ransomware strain to make it more effective.

Ransomware attacks like ESXiArgs can be devastating for organizations, causing data loss, financial losses, and reputational damage. It's important for organizations to stay vigilant and ensure that their systems are always up to date with the latest security patches and updates.

Additionally, having a solid backup and disaster recovery plan can help organizations quickly recover from an attack and minimize its impact.

****3\. DDoS Attack Breaks Record - 71 Million 😮 Requests Per Second!****

Cloudflare, a web infrastructure company, has reported that they have successfully stopped a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. This attack, which peaked at over 71 million requests per second, is the largest HTTP DDoS attack that has been recorded so far, breaking the previous record of 46 million requests per second.

The attack was so large that Cloudflare has dubbed it a "hyper-volumetric" DDoS attack. The attack was targeted at websites that were secured by Cloudflare's platform, and it is believed that the attack originated from a botnet that was made up of more than 30,000 IP addresses from various cloud providers.

This attack is a reminder that DDoS attacks remain a significant threat to websites and online services, and it is crucial for companies to have robust security measures in place to protect against such attacks.

****4\. Microsoft 🖥️ Releases Urgent Patches - Update Your Windows ASAP!****

Microsoft has been busy this week, releasing security updates to fix a whopping 75 vulnerabilities in its products. That's a lot of potential ways for cybercriminals to wreak havoc on our devices and systems!

Three of the flaws have already been exploited in the wild, so it's crucial that users update their software as soon as possible. In total, nine of the vulnerabilities are rated as Critical, which means they could allow attackers to take over a device remotely.

But wait, there's more! 37 of the flaws are what are known as remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities. These are particularly dangerous because they allow attackers to execute code on a victim's device without any interaction or permission.

So, if you're using any Microsoft products, it's best to update them as soon as possible.

****5\. Linux 🐧 and IoT Devices Under Attack by V3G4 Mirai Botnet****

A new variant of the infamous Mirai botnet has been spotted wreaking havoc in the world of Linux and IoT devices. This new version, dubbed V3G4 by the experts at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, is making use of 13 security vulnerabilities to spread itself far and wide.

As we know, the Mirai botnet has a notorious history, having been responsible for several high-profile attacks in the past. This new variant only serves to underscore the importance of keeping our devices and systems up to date with the latest security patches and measures.

****6\. Your Favorite Apps Could be Carrying a Dangerous Virus - 🚨 Stay Alert!****

Cybercriminals have launched a new type of attack targeting Chinese-speaking individuals in Southeast and East Asia. Using rogue Google Ads, they are tricking people looking for popular applications like Google Chrome, WhatsApp, and Skype and directing them to fake websites that download malware onto their machines.

The attacks are particularly insidious because they use seemingly legitimate Google Ads to lure in victims. The malware being downloaded is a remote access trojan called FatalRAT, which gives the attackers complete control over the infected machine.

Security researchers are urging people to be cautious when downloading applications, especially from unfamiliar websites.

1.  Description:

Intern Record System 1.0 allows SQL Injection via parameters 'phone', 'email', 'deptType' and 'name' in /intern/controller.php Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latest vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

**2023.1 IPU - Intel® Xeon® Processor Advisory**

**Summary: **

A potential security vulnerability in some Intel® Xeon® Processors with Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) may allow escalation of privilege.  Intel is releasing firmware updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.  
 

**Vulnerability Details:**

CVEID: CVE-2022-33196

Description: Incorrect default permissions in some memory controller configurations for some Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors when using Intel(R) Software Guard Extensions which may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. 

CVSS Base Score:  7.2 High

CVSS Vector:  CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N  
 

**Affected Products:**

**Product Collection**

**Platform ID**

Intel® Xeon® D Processors

**Recommendations:  
**

Intel is releasing BIOS and microcode updates for the affected processors.

For the mitigation to be effective for Intel® SGX enabled systems, Intel recommends updating the microcode patch located in platform flash designated by firmware interface table (FIT) entry type1.

Details on the microcode loading points can be found at:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/software-security-guidance/secure-coding/loading-microcode-os.html

When the microcode update is applied via the FIT table the BIOS must also be updated.  If the BIOS is not updated to the latest version with the microcode update when Intel® SGX is enabled, the system will hang. Loading this microcode update via the operating system is acceptable but will not provide the mitigation for this Intel® SGX issue.

For non Intel® (SGX) systems the microcode patch can be OS loaded.

Intel has released microcode updates for the affected Intel® Processors that are currently supported on the public github repository. Please see details below on access to the microcode: 

GitHub\*: Public Github: https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files

This CVE requires a Microcode Security Version Number (SVN) update. To address this vulnerability, a SGX TCB recovery is planned, refer here for more information on the SGX TCB recovery process.
