1⃣ The Huntress team uncovered a campaign by a likely China-nexus threat actor. The most novel finding is use of a publicly available tool called Nezha as a post-exploitation C2 agent. This is the first public reporting of the tool I've seen. www.huntress.com/blog/nezha-c...

As of Thurs Aug 14th we're seeing clear indications that a threat actor has now weaponised and is exploiting vulnerabilities in Axis camera software (CVE-2025-30023/4/5/6) which was presented at DEFCON. Indicators on Xitter/LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/posts/activi... x.com/CyberRaiju/s...

New Octowave Loader sample is leading to Amatera Stealer deployment over the past week. 0 VT detections on any component of the malware loader. Proofpoint rules detect the outbound C2 traffic. My Yara rule detects the installer.

I've been thinking a lot about recent layoffs, AI advancements, and what it means for this industry as a whole. Hopefully at least some of this resonates with others and hits the mark. www.jaiminton.com/internal-blo...

HijackLibs.net details hundreds of publicly disclosed DLL Hijacking opportunities. With over 700 stars on GitHub and a growing list, @wietzebeukema.nl does an amazing job maintaining it. Despite this contributing can be time consuming. That's why I've created HijackLibs Helper!👇

I've confirmed Samsung's MagicINFO 21.1050 is VULNERABLE to the publicly reported POC in the blog below. ssd-disclosure.com/ssd-advisory... The media is reporting this as CVE-2024-7399, but if it is then the patch is incomplete. There is currently NO PATCH AVAILABLE!

It keeps going, new sample: www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d70... At the time of scanning 1 vendor detected it, still only 3 at the moment. Deploying LummaC2 unsurprisingly. This time a binary signed by 'ONE UP LTD' from the Nuclear Coffee VideoGet application used to load into memory.👇

Another notable Octowave Loader sample with installer MSI showing low VT hits, and malicious DLL's being completely undetected. Sideloads into the legitimate Audacity. Installs itself as 'Directory Converter' in the user LocalAppData 'Programs' directory. 👇

New video released 🎉: Once again looking at malware sent over Discord, but this time we can analyse it statically after performing AES decryption. You may also see reference in the video to some stealers which have since shutdown or rebranded 😎 Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=knu0...

This threat actor has started using @github.com to host the PowerShell downloaders making it fairly trivial to find accounts hosting a copy of Vidar Stealer. Some have low, and some have high VT hits. www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f9d... www.virustotal.com/gui/file/847...

👀 The domain saaadnesss[.]shop registered a month ago used to track infected victims in a Fake Captcha /ClickFix/Clearfake campaign is now already being seen as one of the top 1 million domains as a result of being served from compromised websites. urlscan.io/search/#saaa...

This. Multiple criticals on our end also. If you think ransomware actors weren't sitting on access waiting until Christmas Eve to strike then you're mistaken. Holidays are prime time for ransomware gangs who would love to give you a ransom message for Christmas in the hope 2025 lands them some $$$

Sure sex is good, but have you ever stopped an environment from being ransomed on Christmas Eve?
