Free Download Manager site redirected Linux users to malware for years

Free Download Manager site redirected Linux users to malware for years | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.bleepingcomputer.com - September 12, 2023 11:33 AM

A reported Free Download Manager supply chain attack redirected Linux users to a malicious Debian package repository that installed information-stealing malware.

The malware used in this campaign establishes a reverse shell to a C2 server and installs a Bash stealer that collects user data and account credentials.

Kaspersky discovered the potential supply chain compromise case while investigating suspicious domains, finding that the campaign has been underway for over three years.

Smart light bulbs could give away your password secrets

Smart light bulbs could give away your password secrets | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From nakedsecurity.sophos.com - August 22, 2023 2:55 PM

A trio of researchers split between Italy and the UK have recently published a paper about cryptographic insecurities they found in a widely-known smart light bulb.

The researchers seem to have chosen their target device, the TP-Link Tapo L530E, on the basis that it is “currently [the] best seller on Amazon Italy,” so we don’t know how other smart bulbs stack up, but their report has plenty to teach us anyway.

Tootroot: Mastodon-Instanzen ließen sich durch spezielle Toots kapern - Golem.de | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.golem.de - July 7, 2023 6:28 AM

Die Entwickler der quelloffenen Software hinter dem sozialen Netzwerk Mastodon haben kürzlich ein Sicherheitsupdate für die aufstrebende Twitter-Alternative veröffentlicht. Damit behoben sie insgesamt fünf Schwachstellen, von denen eine es Hackern ermöglichte, ganze Mastodon-Instanzen zu kapern. Auf Github heißt es zu der als CVE-2023-36460 registrierten Sicherheitslücke, sie erlaube es "Angreifern, jede Datei zu erstellen und zu überschreiben, auf die Mastodon Zugriff hat". Dadurch seien etwa Denial-of-Service-Angriffe oder eine beliebige Codeausführung aus der Ferne (RCE) umsetzbar.

Over 5,300 GitLab servers exposed to zero-click account takeover attacks

Over 5,300 GitLab servers exposed to zero-click account takeover attacks | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.bleepingcomputer.com - January 24, 1:23 PM

Over 5,300 internet-exposed GitLab instances are vulnerable to CVE-2023-7028, a zero-click account takeover flaw GitLab warned about earlier this month.

The critical (CVSS score: 10.0) flaw allows attackers to send password reset emails for a targeted account to an attacker-controlled email address, allowing the threat actor to change the password and take over the account.

Although the flaw does not bypass two-factor authentication (2FA), it is a significant risk for any accounts not protected by this extra security mechanism.

A New Attack Impacts ChatGPT—and No One Knows How to Stop It | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.wired.com - August 3, 2023 9:13 AM

CHATGPT AND ITS artificially intelligent siblings have been tweaked over and over to prevent troublemakers from getting them to spit out undesirable messages such as hate speech, personal information, or step-by-step instructions for building an improvised bomb. But researchers at Carnegie Mellon University last week showed that adding a simple incantation to a prompt—a string text that might look like gobbledygook to you or me but which carries subtle significance to an AI model trained on huge quantities of web data—can defy all of these defenses in several popular chatbots at once.

AVrecon malware infects 70,000 Linux routers to build botnet

AVrecon malware infects 70,000 Linux routers to build botnet | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.bleepingcomputer.com - July 14, 2023 5:24 AM

Since at least May 2021, stealthy Linux malware called AVrecon was used to infect over 70,000 Linux-based small office/home office (SOHO) routers to a botnet designed to steal bandwidth and provide a hidden residential proxy service.

This allows its operators to hide a wide spectrum of malicious activities, from digital advertising fraud to password spraying.

According to Lumen's Black Lotus Labs threat research team, while the AVrecon remote access trojan (RAT) compromised over 70,000 devices, only 40,000 were added to the botnet after gaining persistence.

Critical TootRoot bug lets attackers hijack Mastodon servers | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

Mastodon, the free and open-source decentralized social networking platform, has patched four vulnerabilities, one of them critical that allows hackers to create arbitrary files on the server using specially crafted media files.

Mastodon has about 8.8 million users spread across 13,000 separate servers (instances) hosted by volunteers to support distinct yet inter-connected (federated) communities.

All the four issues fixed were discovered by independent auditors at Cure53, a company that provides penetration testing for online services. The auditors inspected Mastodon's code at Mozilla's request.

Android Security Updates Patch 3 Exploited Vulnerabilities

Android Security Updates Patch 3 Exploited Vulnerabilities | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.securityweek.com - July 6, 2023 9:53 AM

Security updates that Google released this week for Android resolve 43 vulnerabilities, including three that have been exploited in attacks.

The exploited flaws, tracked as CVE-2023-2136, CVE-2023-26083, and CVE-2021-29256, impact Android’s System and Arm Mali components.

The internet giant says “there are indications” that these security defects “may be under limited, targeted exploitation”.

CVE-2023-2136 was disclosed in April as a zero-day vulnerability in the Chrome browser, and is described as an integer overflow issue in Skia.

The bug allows “a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page,” a NIST advisory explains.

Gefahr für Windows-Nutzer: Gegen neue Schadsoftware haben Virenscanner keine Chance | #CyberSecurity #Terminator | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.chip.de - June 3, 2023 9:39 AM

Neue Gefahr für Windows-Nutzer: Wie unter anderem "Bleeping Computer" berichtet, wird in Hacker-Foren aktuell ein Tool verkauft, das sich "Terminator" nennt. Kriminelle zahlen dem Portal zufolge bis zu 3.000 US-Dollar für die offenbar sehr effektive Software. Der Entwickler nennt sich in den Foren selbst "Spyboy".


Was "Terminator" so gefährlich macht: Das Tool ist offenbar in der Lage, 24 weitverbreitete Antivirus-, Endpoint Detection and Response- und Extended Detection and Response-Sicherheitsanwendungen zu umgehen. Davon ist offenbar auch der Windows Defender betroffen. Angreifbar sind alle Systeme ab Windows 7.
