According to the report, the fake app was able to access location information, read and send text messages, install other applications, read the calendar, take screenshots and record from the video camera, see a list of other applications, answer phone calls, and view user account details — all permissions that the real Cube Call Recorder does not have.

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive #PETN, according to the three #intelligence officers.

“After examining a sample of #malware, we found out that this #Trojan, although it masquerades as a #ransomware and extorts #money from the victim for ‘decrypting’ data, does not actually #encrypt, but purposefully destroys data in the affected system,” #Kaspersky’s report stated. “Moreover, an analysis of the Trojan's program #code showed that this was not a developer's mistake, but his original intention.”

Among the victims of these attacks, Citizen Lab mentioned Catalan Members of the European #Parliament (MEPs), every Catalan president since 2010, as well as Catalan legislators, jurists, journalists, and members of civil #society organizations and their families.

Newly found zero-click iPhone exploit used in NSO spyware attacks

Digital threat researchers at Citizen Lab have discovered a new zero-click iMessage exploit used to install NSO Group spyware on devices belonging to Catalan politicians, journalists, and activists.

So what can you do with these and how can they be abused:

You can modify the JSON and JS files mentioned in order to:
- arbitrary download binaries
- ignore download checksums
- execute commands as SYSTEM
- C2 on the behalf of applications
- perform file I/O as SYSTEM
etc.

...

A good generic tool should scan the local appdata and program file folders for instances of NODE.JS or JSON files (Maybe not Microsoft Store instances) and then have templates for trojanizing each vendor's custom #NodeJS and #JSON.

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr #Zelenskiy, has been critical of Israel’s stance since Russia launched its full and bloody #invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, saying in a recent address before members of Israel’s Knesset that Israel would have to “give answers” on why it had not given #weapons to Ukraine or applied #sanctions on Russians.

Will World War III begin in #cyberspace?

People die because of cyber wars, even if no bullets are ever fired. Instead, they die in #emergency rooms that no longer have power, from broken medical #communication networks, and from riots. All of this has happened before. It will happen again. And now, with #Russia poised to invade #Ukraine and Russian cyberattacks already in motion, we can only hope and pray that what promises to be the first major European war since World War II doesn't spark the next #WorldWar.

...

More recently, "58% of all cyberattacks from nation-states have come from Russia," said Tom Burt, #Microsoft corporate vice president. For example, the US and #UK blame the Russian Foreign #Intelligence Service (SVR) for the huge #SolarWinds software supply chain #attack. As Burt pointed out, #Kremlin - backed hackers are becoming "increasingly effective." That's no surprise. After all, Russian agents have been at it for years.

Those who invest nothing in #IT #security will be hacked. If the company is lucky, it is only an #encryption #Trojan and can buy its way out. In worse cases, the company is simply paralyzed and the business secrets are sold in #China. Depending on who is on the bullet list at the moment, it is Russia, China, #Iran or #NorthKorea. Such attacks can be easily disguised, and it is usually not even possible to assign them. Microsoft should rather invest more in its software instead of smart slogans, because macros are still the main gateway for encryption Trojans.
