∗∗∗ Ransomgroup Helldown: Attacks on Zyxel Devices ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
SEC Consult has observed a rise of attacks on Zyxel firewalls over the past two months affecting Zyxel ATP firewall (version 5.38 and above - i.e. we have seen successful attacks also on fully patched Zyxel ATP version 5.39 firewalls). [..] We write this blogpost to highlight the need to remain vigilant and monitor activity on the Zyxel Firewalls, especially since there seems to be no official patch from the vendor as of the time of this blog post.

∗∗∗ Heres what happens if you dont layer network security – or remove unused web shells ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency often breaks into critical organizations' networks – with their permission, of course – to simulate real-world cyber attacks and thereby help improve their security. [..] In a Thursday blog post, the Agency (CISA) detailed the exercise and opined they "illuminate lessons learned for network defenders and software manufacturers about how to respond to and reduce risk." In other words: give it a read and learn from this critical infrastructure organization's mistakes – and the things it did well – to keep real criminals out of your IT environment.

Remote access tools (RATs) have long been a favorite tool for cyber attackers, since they enable remote control over compromised systems and facilitate data theft, espionage, and continuous monitoring of victims. Among the well-known RATs are VenomRAT and AsyncRAT. [..] This comparison explores the core technical differences between VenomRAT and AsyncRAT by analyzing their architecture, capabilities, and tactics.

∗∗∗ New macOS vulnerability, “HM Surf”, could lead to unauthorized data access ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Microsoft Threat Intelligence uncovered a macOS vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to bypass the operating system’s Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) technology and gain unauthorized access to a user’s protected data. The vulnerability, which we refer to as “HM Surf”, involves removing the TCC protection for the Safari browser directory and modifying a configuration file in the said directory to gain access to the user’s data, including browsed pages, the device’s camera, microphone, and location, without the user’s consent. [..] Apple released a fix for this vulnerability, now identified as CVE-2024-44133, as part of security updates for macOS Sequoia, released on September 16, 2024. At present, only Safari uses the new protections afforded by TCC.
