Hits Safe Mode: Ransomware Rebooting Around EDR
An Akira ransomware affiliate gained initial access through an exposed SonicWall VPN without multi-factor authentication via credential spraying. After compromising the domain controller, the attacker performed Active Directory enumeration, collected and exfiltrated data using WinRAR and s5cmd to cloud storage. The affiliate employed a novel evasion technique by rebooting the victim host into Safe Mode with Networking to disable EDR and antivirus protection. AnyDesk was installed as a persistent remote access mechanism. However, the Safe Mode environment caused the ransomware to fail due to out-of-virtual-memory errors, preventing encryption. Despite the encryption failure, the attacker had already exfiltrated credentials and file shares, enabling extortion through data leak threats. This marks the first observed instance of Akira affiliates using Safe Mode boot as an anti-EDR technique.

Analysis of a Modular Cyber Espionage Framework
Security researchers have uncovered a sophisticated cyber espionage operation deploying two previously undocumented malware families, OctLurk and SilkLurk, targeting government and public-sector organizations across Central Asia and the Middle East. Both modular backdoors utilize victim-specific decryption mechanisms, extensive obfuscation, and in-memory execution to evade detection. The malware enables credential theft, remote access, network reconnaissance, and plugin-based expansion. Operations began in January 2025, affecting entities in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Victims include government offices, foreign affairs ministries, law enforcement agencies, healthcare providers, logistics organizations, research institutions, urban planning facilities, and educational establishments. Attackers deployed additional tools including Impacket's SecretsDump, Browser Password Decryptor, Pandora RC, Fscan, WinRAR, 7-Zip, and PlugX. A companion utility, LurkProxy, proxies a

Nowa kampania cyberszpiegowska. Grupa Amaranth-Dragon atakuje strategiczne cele przy użyciu luki w WinRAR (CVE-2025-8088)
Nie tak dawno, bo w ubiegłym roku została wykryta podatność w dobrze znanym WinRAR o czym pisaliśmy tutaj. I choć mogłoby się wydawać, że wraz z wydaniem aktualizacji problem został rozwiązany, to rzeczywistość pokazała, że nie do końca tak jest. Zwłaszcza, gdy do gry wkraczają grupy APT. W najnowszym wpisie...

#Peazip sigue mejorando. Es un señor programón para trabajar con archivos comprimidos y cifrados. Si seguís usando #WinRAR notaréis mucha diferencia. Si ya veníais de usar #7zip quizá no notéis inmediatamente muchas funciones adicionales (que las hay) pero sí una mayor facilidad de uso e interfaz más agradable.
