Payouts King Ransomware Initial Access Broker Deploys New Edgecution Malware
An initial access broker linked to Payouts King ransomware is deploying Edgecution, a sophisticated malware utilizing a malicious Microsoft Edge browser extension. The attack begins through social engineering via Microsoft Teams, impersonating IT staff and directing victims to fake Microsoft websites offering supposed Outlook updates. Edgecution comprises two components: a browser extension that communicates with command-and-control servers via websockets, and a Python-based backdoor. The extension abuses Chrome native messaging protocol to escape browser sandbox restrictions, enabling direct host access. This allows attackers to manipulate the filesystem, launch processes, and execute arbitrary code. The malware operates in a headless browser, remaining invisible to users. Deployment methods include AutoHotKey scripts, Windows batch scripts, and PowerShell scripts. The Python backdoor supports various commands including system information collection, filesystem access, and arbitrary code execution.

#Google to End #ManifestV2 Support in #Chrome, Disabling #uBlockOrigin and Other #AdBlockers
[…] “Users can switch to a non - #Chromium browser such as #Firefox, which continues to support Manifest V2 extensions”.
“Firefox continues to support Manifest V2 alongside V3 extensions, and #Mozilla has stated it has no current plans to remove V2 support”.
“ #RaymondHill, the developer of uBlock Origin, pointed out that Firefox offers the best experience for users who want full uBlock Origin functionality”.
“The Chromium standard is also affecting other major browsers such as #MicrosoftEdge and #Opera. While some have indicated they may support V2 temporarily, the overall trend points toward adopting Manifest V3 across the Chromium ecosystem”.

Microsoft Edge zmienia zasady gry. Menedżer haseł odblokujesz tylko przez Windows Hello
Używasz wbudowanego menedżera haseł w przeglądarce Edge? Przygotuj się na odczuwalną zmianę w codziennych nawykach.
Microsoft właśnie zaktualizował swoją przeglądarkę do wersji 145, ostatecznie wycofując logowanie za pomocą klasycznego hasła głównego. Od teraz dostęp do twoich najwrażliwszych danych chroni obowiązkowo podsystem Windows Hello.
Bez biometrii lub PIN-u nie odzyskasz danych
Do tej pory użytkownicy mogli zabezpieczyć swój sejf z hasłami za pomocą jednego, skomplikowanego ciągu znaków. Aktualizacja z 4 czerwca 2026 roku zamyka ten rozdział w systemach Windows. Zamiast wpisywać hasło główne, przeglądarka Edge domyślnie wymusza uwierzytelnienie tożsamości poprzez wbudowane mechanizmy sprzętowe.
Co to oznacza w praktyce? Aby podejrzeć zapisane loginy do banku czy poczty, musisz użyć odcisku palca, rozpoznawania twarzy lub systemowego kodu PIN. Jeśli twój komputer nie posiada kamery na podczerwień zgodnej z Windows Hello ani czytnika linii papilarnych, pozostaje ci jedynie wpisanie PIN-u przypisanego do danego urządzenia.
Dlaczego Microsoft wymusza nowe standardy?
Choć dla wielu osób konieczność rezygnacji z ulubionego hasła może wydawać się irytująca, z punktu widzenia cyberbezpieczeństwa to doskonały ruch. Tradycyjne hasła – nawet te długie i skomplikowane – mogą zostać przechwycone, złamane lub wyłudzone metodami phishingowymi.
Opieranie zabezpieczeń o fizyczne urządzenie i biometrię lub lokalny PIN w dużej mierze eliminuje to ryzyko. Microsoft po prostu odbiera użytkownikom możliwość popełnienia błędu, przepychając nas w stronę standardu kluczy dostępu (passkeys). To odważny krok, który wyraźnie odróżnia Edge’a od konkurencji – warto przypomnieć, że Google Chrome wciąż pozwala na odblokowanie swojego menedżera za pomocą tradycyjnego hasła.
