Gremlin Stealer's Evolved Tactics: Hiding in Plain Sight With Resource Files

This analysis examines new obfuscation techniques employed by Gremlin stealer malware to conceal malicious payloads within embedded resources. A variant protected by sophisticated commercial packing utility uses instruction virtualization, transforming code into custom bytecode executed by a private virtual machine. The malware siphons sensitive information including payment card details, browser cookies, session tokens, cryptocurrency wallet data, and FTP/VPN credentials from compromised systems. It exfiltrates data to attacker-controlled servers at hxxp[:]194.87.92[.]109 for potential publication or sale. Recent iterations incorporate expanded Discord token extraction, active financial fraud through crypto clipper functionality that replaces cryptocurrency wallet addresses in real-time, and WebSocket-based session hijacking to bypass modern cookie protections. The malware employs advanced anti-analysis techniques including XOR-encoded payloads in .NET resource sections, identifier renaming, string encryp...

Indirect Prompt Injection in the Wild: 10 IPI Payloads Found

X-Labs researchers discovered 10 verified Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) payloads deployed across live web infrastructure. Unlike direct prompt injection where users send malicious input to AI models, IPI hides adversarial instructions inside ordinary web content. When AI agents crawl or summarize poisoned pages, they ingest and execute these instructions as legitimate commands. The discovered payloads span financial fraud, data destruction, API key exfiltration, and denial-of-service attacks. Attackers employ techniques including CSS invisibility, HTML comments, accessibility attribute abuse, meta namespace spoofing, and system prompt tag impersonation. The shared injection templates across multiple domains suggest organized tooling rather than isolated experimentation. Observed attack intents include unauthorized financial transactions, terminal command execution, content suppression, traffic hijacking, and sensitive information leakage, targeting AI systems that browse web pages, index content for RAG ...

⚠️ Mobile security risk: New Android malware "SuperCard X" enables contactless payment fraud via NFC relay attacks 📱💳

Here’s how it works:
🔹 Victims are socially engineered through fake bank alerts (smishing + calls)
🔹 Tricked into installing a rogue app posing as “security software”
🔹 NFC data is intercepted from real debit/credit cards
🔹 Attackers relay stolen credentials to PoS terminals and ATMs for fraudulent cashouts

Why it matters:
• Attackers no longer need stolen physical cards — just proximity + deception
• Banking customers, payment providers, and card issuers are all at risk
• Google is working on Android protections — but vigilance is key now

🛡️ Tip: Always scrutinize app installs, verify messages before acting, and keep Google Play Protect enabled.
