The PerSwaysion phishing campaign, a new malware hitting e-commerce sites, & something new about ransomware gangs

A kit, named PerSwaysion, can give cybercriminals a way to launch a phishing campaign relatively easily and with little up-front effort. A new malware is hitting e-commerce sites. Security researchers found attackers found a vulnerability in a website plug-in and used that to upload a backdoor. This allows sites' code alteration in order to allow interception of payment card data for purchases. Ransomware gangs compete in auction sessions on cybercriminal forums for zero-day vulnerabilities in software applications.  Thank you for listening.
