FIN6 (aka Camouflage Tempest, Gold Franklin, or Skeleton Spider) have adopted a novel attack vector using AWS-hosted fake resumes on LinkedIn to deliver More_eggs malware.

FIN6 (aka Camouflage Tempest, Gold Franklin, or Skeleton Spider) is a financially motivated cybercrime group active since 2012, initially targeting point-of-sale systems to steal payment card data. Recently, they’ve adopted a novel attack vector using AWS-hosted fake resumes on LinkedIn to deliver More_eggs malware, specifically targeting corporate recruiters.

China hit with record-breaking data leak of over 4 billion records.

The database consisted of numerous collections, ranging from half a million to over 800 million records gathered from various sources. One research team believes the dataset was meticulously compiled and maintained to build comprehensive behavioral, economic, and social profiles of nearly any Chinese citizen. The exposed instance was quickly taken down, preventing the team from disclosing the identity of the database’s owners.

SMTP Hacking

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a protocol for sending emails in an IP network. It can be used between an email client and an outgoing mail server or between two SMTP servers. SMTP is often combined with the IMAP or POP3 protocols, which can fetch emails and send emails.

New Mirai malware variant targeting DVR video devices.

A new variant of the Mirai malware botnet is exploiting a little-known command injection vulnerability in TBK digital video recording devices, specifically models DVR-4104 and DVR-4216, to take control of them. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2024-3721, was disclosed by security researcher "netsecfish" in April 2024 but has just now been spotted in the wild.

SMB Hacking

SMB (Server Message Block) is a widely used protocol on Windows systems that offers various paths for vertical and lateral movement within a network. Samba allows Linux and Unix distributions to utilize the SMB protocol.
Nginx Hacking

Nginx Hacking

Nginx is regarded as a secure, high-performance web server and reverse proxy, but its real-world security depends heavily on how it is configured and maintained. By default, Nginx includes several security controls, such as rate limiting and access controls, which help mitigate common threats like DDoS attacks and unauthorized access. However, like any widely deployed software, Nginx is not immune to vulnerabilities and requires regular updates and security hardening to remain secure.
NFS Hacking

NFS Hacking

Network File System (NFS), developed by Sun Microsystems, serves a similar purpose to SMB, enabling access to file systems over a network as if they were local. NFS is primarily used between Linux and Unix systems, preventing direct communication between NFS clients and SMB servers. While NFSv3, which has been widely adopted, authenticates client computers, NFSv4 introduces a change, similar to the Windows SMB protocol, requiring user authentication. A notable advantage of NFSv4 over its predecessors is its simplicity in utilizing only one UDP or TCP port (2049), which simplifies the protocol’s use across firewalls.
IMAP/POP3 Hacking

IMAP/POP3 Hacking

Unlike POP3, IMAP allows for online management of emails directly on the server and supports folder structures. IMAP is a network protocol designed for the management of emails on a remote server. In contrast, POP3 has limited functionality; it only offers features for listing, retrieving, and deleting emails on the email server.
