Technado

Get ready for a lot of opinions on this week’s Technado - Apple’s WWDC 2024 is underway, and we have some thoughts. In other breaking news, Black Basta threat actors may have exploited a Windows 0-day, and Fortinet has patched multiple vulnerabilities in FortiOS. And WWDC isn’t the only Apple news this week: the tech giant is refusing to pay a $1 million bounty to Kaspersky labs for some iOS zero-days.

After our Apple tirade, we cover some malicious VSCode extensions with MILLIONS of downloads. Then, we take a look at not one, but TWO 4chan data leaks of some major companies: the New York Times and Disney.

Following a quick break, we say hello to an old friend in this week’s D’oh! Segment: it’s LastPass! The company essentially DoS’ed themselves thanks to a faulty Chrome extension. We also have yet another Recall update - Windows heard the call for better security, and they’re responding by…making Recall an opt-in feature.

Next up, a new ransomware variant dubbed ‘Fog’ that’s targeting US businesses, and NY is introducing mobile IDs to replace physical ones. To wrap up the episode, British semiconductor giant Arm is warning customers about a use-after-free bug.

Daniel is back and the Technado studio got a makeover! We kick off the show with some breaking news: TikTok accounts are being compromised through a zero-click DM attack, and over 360 million stolen accounts were leaked on Telegram cybercrime channels.

After our breaking news segment, we cover Bring Me The Horizon's hacking-themed website promoting their new album (spoiler alert: the website itself got hacked). Then, over half a million SOHO routers were remotely bricked - but we still don't know who did it or why.

In Linux news, hackers are packing malware with Kiteshield to avoid AV detection. CISA also issued an alert to federal agencies to patch an actively exploited (high-severity!) Linux kernel flaw.

After a quick break, it's time for Deja News! The upcoming Windows AI Recall feature has more haters every day: researchers are now calling it a security "disaster." BreachForums is back online thanks to a threat actor known as ShinyHunters (who also claims to be responsible for this week's Ticketmaster and Santander breaches). To wrap up the segment, Okta is warning (again) about credential-stuffing attacks targeting its CIC authentication offering.

In happier news, the US DoJ led an international operation to take down the world's largest botnet, and the man responsible has been arrested. And to wrap up the show, Cox Communications patched an auth-bypass bug that could have been disastrous - thanks to an independent security researcher.

This week on Technado, Google patched yet ANOTHER 0-day exploit - that's four this month, for those of you counting. Spyware program pcTattletale had their website defaced and database dumped. Several major pharmaceutical companies were affected by Cencora's February data loss. And in other news, hackers are phishing finance orgs using... Minesweeper?

After a quick fact-checking break, we have a packed Behind Bars segment. The man behind a deepfake Joe Biden robocall is facing a $6M fine, while a man who stole $37 million in crypto could face up to 20 years in prison. A courtroom recording platform was hijacked in a supply chain attack, and GitHub issued a fix for a maximum severity flaw (that's a 10.0, folks) in their enterprise server software. Finally, we have an update on last week's Apple bug that was causing deleted photos to resurface.

This week on Technado, Dell got pwned: 49 million records were stolen & are up for sale on the dark web. Dan & Soph talk privacy as Proton has turned over more customer info to cops, and we also take a look at MITRE's newest framework, EMB3D. In exploit news, Cinterion cellular modems have some severe vulnerabilities to deal with, and a PoC has been released for a critical PuTTY key vulnerability.

In our Pork Chop Sandwiches segment, ANOTHER malicious Python package has been found in PyPI. A new LLMjacking attack is being used to exploit stolen cloud creds, and Nmap 7.95 is out with new features!

Lastly, in our deep dive, we take a look at Mallox RaaS and how it's being used in MS-SQL exploitation campaigns. And before we sign off, we touch on some of the breaking stories from this week that we couldn't cover in depth.

Deep Dive
https://blog.kandji.io/malware-cuckoo-infostealer-spyware

Patches abound on this week's Technado! In our Rapid Fire segment, we kick things off with the UK ban on weak default passwords. Then, a warning from Okta on cred-stuffing attacks, and a critical bug in R that exposes orgs to supply chain risks. Collection agency FBCS got pwned this week, with millions of records being exposed - but in happier news, the Japanese police are starting a new effort to keep elderly citizens from falling prey to payment card scams.

The ArcaneDoor was a big story this week, as was yet anothrer WordPress plugin vulnerability - and in this week's D'oh! segment, the popular iSharing app was found to be sharing users locations (even when services were disabled). FInally, in our deep dive, we take a look at new Android banking malware Brokewell.

Cheats, breaches, and weaknesses abound on this week's Technado! Cybercriminals are threatening to leak millions of records from the World-Check database, and millions more were affected by this week's Frontier Communications broadband shutdown. In our biggest story of the week, MITRE got pwned by nation-state hackers via our old friends, the Ivanti zero-days. CrushFTP is dealing with a vuln that lets attackers download system files, and our Don't Make No Sense feature is a twofer: fake game cheats are being used to spread malware, and it all started with...Microsoft's GitHub repo?

Of course, it wouldn't be Technado without a deep dive, and this one's a doozy: a SafeBreach researcher uncovered FOUR CVEs by exploiting a long-standing issue that supports Windows backwards-compatibility.

This week on Technado, we start off strong with some breaking news: geospatial intelligence firm Space-Eyes has allegedly been breached by IntelBroker. From there, we cover TWO 10.0 command injection vulnerabilities - one affecting Windows, one affecting Palo Alto. Apple has issued warnings to more than 90 countries concerning Mercenary spyware attacks. We've got updates on the most recent Microsoft and AT&T breaches, as well as a new breach involving Sisense. And of course, we can't forget this week's Behind Bars subject: an ex-Amazon engineer who stole millions in cryptocurrency is facing prison time.

In our deep dive segment, it's a double whammy: we return to one of our Rapid Fire articles to get into the details of Palo Alto's 10.0 vulnerability. Then, we unpack Blackjack's newest venture, Fuxnet malware.

Live from HackSpaceCon, it's Technado! This week, malware takes center stage: beware of bogus NordVPN downloads and YouTube videos promising Fortnite cheats. If you use a D-Link NAS device that's reached its EoL, you might want to check for a backdoor account. In the return of the beloved Tinfoil Hat segment, Five Eyes data has allegedly been stolen & exposed during a breach. Keeping with our space theme, NASA has finally cracked the case of Voyager 1 sending gibberish data. We wrap up our Rapid Fire articles with a critical flaw affecting one million WordPress websites, an update on the Ivanti debacle (four more vulns!), and a special "Crow" segment featuring million-dollar rewards for zero-days. After a quick break, we dive deep into a new malware variant called Latrodectus - and it's just as dangerous as the venomous spiders it's named after. (Stick around to see Dan and Soph mewing for the camera.) Want to read further? Take a look at the stories we covered this week:

It's a packed week on Technado! First up in Rapid Fire, we talk about the Linux backdoor that's got everyone fired up - but all is not as it seems. Then, our Pork Chop Sandwiches segment stars Hot Topic in their latest credential stuffing dilemma (and a brief cybergoth appearance thanks to Christian). Activision is looking into some password-stealing malware affecting some of its players (read: cheaters).

We wrap up Rapid Fire by discussing the recent MFA bombing attacks plaguing iPhone users, along with a special Deja News double feature: we have updates on the PyPI and AT&T situations!

After a quick break, it's time for our deep dive! Daniel gets into the details of the new and improved (?) Android malware Vultur. Finally, we finish up this week's episode with a mini-dive into Imperva Secure Sphere's WAF bypass.
