A hacker doesn’t appear to be happy with the amount of digital piracy out there. A wave of malicious software downloads from October 2020 to January 2021 blocked users from visiting websites that host pirated versions of video games, Microsoft Office and other programs, analysts at antivirus firm Sophos said Thursday. One malware strain borrowed name recognition from The Pirate Bay, a notorious portal that directs users to copyrighted material while also serving up malicious software and nefarious advertisements. The vigilante disguised their malicious code as pirated software on Discord, a popular chat service, and on file-sharing service BitTorrent, Sophos said in a blog post.

Private sector analysts uncovered new hacking tools thought to be used in a suspected Russian spying operation in the latest example of how, as the investigation into the SolarWinds breach continues, the plot only thickens. Security firm Symantec on Tuesday said it had found previously undocumented malicious code that the attackers used to move through victim networks and then transmit additional malware onto specific computers. The attackers installed the malicious code, dubbed Raindrop, on a handful of carefully chosen computers in an effort to spy on them, according to the latest findings. The discovery underscores the range of tools the accused hackers had at their disposal — some to gain access to computer networks, others to sift through data — in a historic campaign that has infiltrated multiple U.S. federal agencies and consumed investigators at top security firms. U.S. federal investigators have said the hacking campaign is “likely Russian in origin.” Moscow […]
