An independent malware researcher has documented a previously unreported Windows backdoor, dubbed SLEEPWALKER, that stays inert in memory until a specifically crafted network packet reaches the machine and then runs commands written in a 23-instruction language of its own design. The sample is an unsigned 64-bit Windows dynamic-link library (DLL) of 59,904 bytes, built to be side-loaded into&

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform built to strip Apple’s Activation Lock from stolen devices, using rented AI voice agents that call theft victims posing as Apple Support and ask for their device passcode. SOCRadar Threat Research Unit (STRU) said the platform, which it tracks as AnonyMousKIT, is credit-metered and drives lures across

Threat actors behind ClearFake campaigns are using a newly identified loader, WordlistLoader, to deliver the Amatera Stealer to Windows systems. The loader disguises executable shellcode as sequences of ordinary English words, helping malware evade static inspection before reconstructing and launching the final payload in memory. Microsoft previously observed ACR Stealer operators using fake verification prompts, […]

CISA’s latest red team assessment shows how common failures in Active Directory, cloud identity, and SOC processes can turn a phishing foothold into an enterprise-wide compromise. The August 25 advisory contrasts two critical-infrastructure organizations: one missed the intrusion entirely, while the other contained initial access quickly but still exposed major identity and cloud security weaknesses.
