Cybercriminals camouflaging threats as AI tool installers

Cybercriminals are exploiting the popularity of AI by distributing malware disguised as AI solution installers. Three threats have been identified: CyberLock ransomware, Lucky_Gh0$t ransomware, and a newly discovered destructive malware called Numero. CyberLock, developed using PowerShell, encrypts specific files and demands a $50,000 ransom in Monero. Lucky_Gh0$t is a variant of Yashma ransomware, masquerading as a ChatGPT installer. Numero, imitating an AI video creation tool, manipulates Windows GUI components, rendering systems unusable. These threats primarily target B2B sales, technology, and marketing sectors. The attackers use SEO manipulation and various distribution channels to deceive victims. Organizations are urged to exercise caution and verify sources when downloading AI tools.

WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted with Meta as the go between. If you think we cannot know or see what you share on WhatsApp, you're wrong.

If you want to argue this fact, do not bother, I've been working for Meta for 5 years, I know what I am talking about.

Whenever it is brought up by someone, those people don't last long in the company. And the general reasoning employees are given is lability, because legally Meta cannot claim ignorance in the United States.

Cyber Attacks on Government Agencies: Detect and Investigate

This analysis examines cyber threats targeting government institutions worldwide, focusing on three case studies: a phishing email targeting the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, a fraudulent domain mimicking the U.S. Social Security Administration, and a malicious PDF posing as a South African Judiciary notice. The study demonstrates how ANY.RUN's solutions, including Threat Intelligence Lookup, Interactive Sandbox, and YARA Search, can be utilized to detect, analyze, and mitigate these threats. Key findings include the use of FormBook stealer, remote access tools, and credential harvesting techniques. The analysis provides actionable insights for government cybersecurity teams to enhance their defensive strategies and response capabilities.
