Attackers are using typosquatted Go packages to deploy malware on Linux and macOS, targeting financial developers.
Cybercriminals exploit ISPs in China and the U.S. West Coast, deploying info stealers, crypto miners, and brute-force tools on over 4,000 IPs.
A previously undocumented polyglot malware is being deployed in attacks against aviation, satellite communication, and critical transportation organizations in the United Arab Emirates.
The malware delivers a backdoor called Sosano, which establishes persistence on the infected devices and allows the attackers to execute commands remotely.
The activity was discovered by Proofpoint in October 2024, which states that the attacks are linked to a threat actor named ‘UNK_CraftyCamel.’ While the campaign is still small, the researchers report that it is still advanced and dangerous to targeted companies.
A new botnet malware named ‘Eleven11bot’ has infected over 86,000 IoT devices, primarily security cameras and network video recorders (NVRs), to conduct DDoS attacks.
The botnet, which is loosely linked to Iran, has already launched distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks targeting telecommunication service providers and online gaming servers.
Eleven11bot was discovered by Nokia researchers who shared the details with the threat monitoring platform GreyNoise.
New research has uncovered further links between the Black Basta and Cactus ransomware gangs, with members of both groups utilizing the same social engineering attacks and the BackConnect proxy malware for post-exploitation access to corporate networks.
In January, Zscaler discovered a Zloader malware sample that contained what appeared to be a new DNS tunneling feature. Further research by Walmart indicated that Zloader was dropping a new proxy malware called BackConnect that contained code references to the Qbot (QakBot) malware.
BackConnect is malware that acts as a proxy tool for remote access to compromised servers. BackConnect allows cybercriminals to tunnel traffic, obfuscate their activities, and escalate attacks within a victim’s environment without being detected.
We found that some comets in the inner Oort cloud form a long-lasting spiral structure.
A new generation of therapeutics looks beyond simply reengineering the gut microbiome to exploiting multiple pathways for novel microbiome and microbial applications.

The picture was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and shows a star being born in the protoplanetary system Herbig-Haro 30.
Now due to the vastness of space, we aren’t *actually* looking at the exact moment the star was born, but rather, how this cosmic creation would have looked like when it happened thousands, if not millions of years ago.
It’s basically a whole lot of timey-wimey stuff over deep space.
For decades, scientists have explored the potential of bacteria in fighting cancer, but safety and efficacy barriers have stood in the way. Now, a research team has cracked the code behind how genetically engineered bacteria, specifically DB1, can selectively target and eliminate tumors. A team of.
