About this episode
In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some cutting-edge intel coming out of LimaCharlie's community Slack channel.
- A new injector written in Rust is used to inject shellcode and introduce XWorm into a victim’s environment.
- Multiple cases where the SugarCRM was the initial attack vector and allowed threat actors to gain access to AWS accounts.
- Statc Stealer is a sophisticated malware that infects devices powered by Windows, gains access to computer systems and steals sensitive information.
- Patrick Wardle's research says that macOS's Background Task Manager can be easily bypassed and that Apple failed to act on his recommendations to fix it.
- CISA are reporting on the Seaspy and Whirlpool backdoors after obtaining malware samples from a compromised device.
