🚨Malware distributed via Steam
Fancy a bit of after work gaming? Beware of infostealer malware distributed via the Steam store!
Using @steamdb we managed to visually identify a very suspicious file in the game files. Luckily, we managed to retrieve a sample for analysis, which will follow in this thread.
This year's #BSidesFrankfurt is bigger and better, now at University Campus Frankfurt. Join us for insightful tracks, international keynotes, and a special kids' track with hands-on hacking courses. Interested in inspiring young minds? We're seeking volunteer teachers!
Great catch @StopMalvertisin#APT29🎣! We created a #Yara hunting rule to look for similar SVGs and found this sample:
test.svg
MD5: 5d327af805d36036c79cca2a027c1168
First seen: 2023-06-10
Uses a b64 encoded payload called test[.]zip, contains a legit procexp64.exe.

📰 #ESXiArgs#Ransomware is currently affecting more than 2000 #ESXi#Hypervisors around the world. In our lastest blog post we detail the analysis of the #malware artifacts, new #Yara rules to detect it and recommendations to keep your systems safe.

Picking up where we left off yesterday: We created two #Yara rules for the #Magniber#Ransomware delivery method. You can find them in our GitHub Repository and on @abuse_ch Yaraify ⬇️ Have a nice weekend and happy hunting ��
