∗∗∗ Verbraucherzentrale warnt vor aktueller Paypal-Betrugsmasche ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Die Verbraucherzentrale NRW warnt, dass Kriminelle "Bezahlen ohne Paypal-Konto" missbrauchen. Schutz davor ist kaum möglich. [..] Im Zentrum der Kritik steht eine Paypal-Bezahloption, die sich "Zahlen ohne Paypal-Konto" nennt und auch als "Gast-Konto" oder "Gastzahlung" bekannt ist. Damit können Käufer über das Lastschrift-Verfahren zahlen, ohne dass ein Paypal-Konto angelegt wird. Dafür ist eine IBAN anzugeben.

DeceptionAds can be seen as a newer and more dangerous variant of the "ClickFix" attacks, where victims are tricked into running malicious PowerShell commands on their machine, infecting themselves with malware. ClickFix actors have employed phishing emails, fake CAPTCHA pages on pirate software sites, malicious Facebook pages, and even GitHub issues redirecting users to dangerous landing pages.

∗∗∗ Apache issues patches for critical Struts 2 RCE bug ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
More details released after devs allowed weeks to apply fixes. We now know the remote code execution vulnerability in Apache Struts 2 disclosed back in November carries a near-maximum severity rating following the publication of the CVE. [..] Considering remote attackers could exploit the vulnerability without requiring any privileges, combined with the high impact to system confidentiality, integrity, and availability, it's likely the Apache Foundation withheld the juiciest details to allow customers to upgrade to a safe version (Struts 6.4.0 or greater).

∗∗∗ Hunk Companion WordPress plugin exploited to install vulnerable plugins ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The issue impacts all versions of Hunk Companion before the latest 1.9.0, released yesterday, which addressed the problem. While investigating a WordPress site infection, WPScan discovered active exploitation of CVE-2024-11972 to install a vulnerable version of WP Query Console. [..] By installing outdated plugins with known vulnerabilities with available exploits, the attackers can access a large pool of flaws that lead to remote code execution (RCE), SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws, or create backdoor admin accounts.

---------------------------------------------
Cybersecurity researchers at Group-IB have exposed an ongoing phishing operation that has been targeting employees and associates from over 30 companies across 12 industries and 15 jurisdictions. [..] What makes this campaign dangerous is the use of advanced techniques designed to bypass Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) and evade detection. [..] This campaign is ongoing therefore, companies need to watch out for what comes to their inbox.

∗∗∗ AMD’s trusted execution environment blown wide open by new BadRAM attack ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
On Tuesday, an international team of researchers unveiled BadRAM, a proof-of-concept attack that completely undermines security assurances that chipmaker AMD makes to users of one of its most expensive and well-fortified microprocessor product lines. Starting with the AMD Epyc 7003 processor, a feature known as SEV-SNP—short for Secure Encrypted Virtualization and Secure Nested Paging—has provided the cryptographic means for certifying that a VM hasn’t been compromised by any sort of backdoor installed by someone with access to the physical machine running it.

Back in 2022 Fox-IT decided to open source its proprietary incident response tooling known as Dissect.

Internally at Fox-IT we were able to already use these capabilities. With the release of Dissect version 3.17 these capabilities are now also available to the community at large.
