Malware spammers aim to leverage Kaseya ransomware drama in email campaign

First came the ransomware rampage stemming from the breach of Miami-based software firm Kaseya. Now comes a wave of malicious emails seeking capitalize on the rush to find a fix. Security vendor MalwareBytes highlighted the malware spam campaign Tuesday, describing how unidentified attackers send “malspam” messages with both a URL and a file that purports to be a Microsoft update of the Kaseya VSA vulnerability. Clicking on the the link, or “SecurityUpdates.exe,” drops Cobalt Strike on a victim. Cybercriminals have increasingly leveraged that security testing tool for attacks, according to recent research.

Malwarebytes said Google Play removed the app in early December after users reported that it was opening the default web browsers on phones to serve up ad pages — without any direct action by the device owners themselves. The company is labeling the malicious code as a trojan. “It is frightening that with one update an app can turn malicious while going under the radar of Google Play Protect,” Collier writes. The researcher makes a clear distinction: There are many ways apps can go […]
