Spyware / Mobile Security
Cybersecurity experts have uncovered a dangerous trend where threat actors are using deceptive websites on newly registered domains to spread SpyNote, a notorious Android malware. These fraudulent sites mimic Google Play Store installation pages for popular apps like the Chrome browser, aiming to trick users into downloading the malware. According to the DomainTools Investigations (DTI) team, the attackers employed a combination of English and Chinese-language delivery sites and even included Chinese-language comments in the site code and the malware itself.
SpyNote (also known as SpyMax) is a remote access trojan infamous for its capability to collect sensitive information from compromised Android devices by exploiting accessibility services. In May 2024, the malware was distributed via another fake site that posed as a legitimate antivirus program, Avast.

Cyber Espionage / APT
The advanced persistent threat (APT) group known as Winter Vivern is currently focusing its cyber espionage efforts on officials in Europe and the U.S. According to a recent report by Proofpoint, this group, also referred to as TA473, has been exploiting an unpatched Zimbra vulnerability in publicly accessible webmail portals since at least February 2023. This vulnerability allows them to access the email accounts of government bodies across Europe.

Cryptocurrency / Cyber Attack
A sophisticated supply chain attack on 3CX has led to a second-stage implant specifically targeting a select number of cryptocurrency firms. Kaspersky, a Russian cybersecurity company, has been monitoring this adaptable backdoor, known as Gopuram, since 2020. They noted a surge in infections coinciding with the March 2023 3CX breach. Gopuram’s main purpose is to connect to a command-and-control (C2) server, enabling attackers to interact with the victim’s file system, initiate processes, and execute up to eight in-memory modules. The malware has ties to North Korea, as it has been found on victim machines alongside AppleJeus, another backdoor linked to the Korean-speaking Lazarus group, which previously targeted a cryptocurrency company in Southeast Asia in 2020. This recent focus on cryptocurrency firms underscores a troubling trend.
