Researchers have ported the EternalBlue exploit to Windows 10, meaning that any unpatched version of Windows can be affected by the NSA attack. Continue reading NSA’s EternalBlue Exploit Ported to Windows 10
Not a super serious article this one, but I found it very entertaining – apparently, Windows XP has a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) when faced with a WannaCry infection. There’s a very extension analysis of WannaCry here where this information comes from WannaCry: Two Weeks and 16 Million Averted Ransoms Later. Yes, WannaCrypt can […]

A security researcher has identified a new strain of malware that also spreads itself by exploiting flaws in Windows SMB file sharing protocol, but unlike the WannaCry Ransomware that uses only two leaked NSA hacking tools, it exploits all the seven.

Weeks before the WannaCry ransomware spread like wildfire through unpatched Windows systems, a more sophisticated, stealthier attacker used the same NSA-engineered cyberweapon to infiltrate the IT networks of companies across the world, including at least one publicly traded in the U.S., according to new research. So stealthy was the fileless, in-memory attack, which hides itself inside the activity of a legitimate application, that it evaded five different security products running on the infected system, Gil Barak, CTO of Israeli cybersecurity firm Secdo told CyberScoop. Those products included so-called “next generation” filters that don’t rely on known signatures, he said. “Not only did they not stop the attack, they couldn’t even see it,” he said. Attackers using the technique “can pretty much do what they want, unnoticed — and then vanish.” Barak wrote a blog post on the attack and appeared with noted security researcher Jake Williams on a webcast this week where the two discussed the […]
