∗∗∗ New malware hides as legit nginx process on e-commerce servers ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
eCommerce servers are being targeted with remote access malware that hides on Nginx servers in a way that makes it virtually invisible to security solutions. [...] Because NginRAT hides as a normal Nginx process and the code exists only in the server’s memory, detecting it may be a challenge. However, the malware is launched using two variables, LD_PRELOAD and LD_L1BRARY_PATH. Administrators can use the latter, which contains the “typo,” to reveal the active malicious processes

∗∗∗ WordPress Admin Creator – A Simple, But Effective Attack ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Malicious admin users get added to vulnerable WordPress sites often. This can happen in a variety of different ways, and sometimes the malware that creates these malicious users can hide in plain sight. Injecting a malicious admin user into a WordPress site can allow attackers easy access back into a victims’ website after it has been cleaned.

∗∗∗ Digitale Vignette nur in offiziellen Shops kaufen! ∗∗∗

Bereits ab 1. Dezember ist die Vignette für das Jahr 2022 auf österreichischen Autobahnen gültig. Die digitale Vignette kann dabei nicht nur an verschiedenen offiziellen Verkaufsstellen, sondern auch online gekauft werde. Das machen sich unseriöse AnbieterInnen zu Nutze und bieten die digitale Vignette ungerechtfertigt zu höheren Preisen an.

∗∗∗ Windows 10/11: Falle beim "trusted" Apps-Installer; Emotet nutzt das ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Hoh hoh, Leute, wir können heute das zweite Türchen im Adventskalender öffnen und schauen, was Microsoft so schönes dahinter versteckt hat, um Administratoren zu erschrecken. Heute finden wir den AppX-Installer, der in Windows 10 und Windows 11 zum Installieren von Anwendungen und Apps verwendet wird. Hier ein kleiner Überblick, warum man das Wörtchen Trusted Apps nicht so ganz wörtlich nehmen soll. Denn der zugehörige Installer kann durchaus Malware auf das System spülen (Emotet nutzt das aktuell bei Angriffen), die Apps aber wegen eines gravierenden Design-Fehlers als Trusted ausweisen.
