Midnight is a new ransomware strain derived from Babuk that uses ChaCha20 for file encryption and RSA to protect the ChaCha20 key, while employing intermittent encryption and file-extension/appended-content behaviors. Weaknesses in Midnight’s cryptographic implementation enabled researchers to produce a working decryptor and provide recovery guidance. #Midnight #Babuk
In October 2025, CRIL discovered a multi-stage backdoor campaign using a weaponized ZIP masquerading as a Belarusian military PDF that used nested archives, LNK-triggered PowerShell, scheduled tasks, and a Tor hidden-service with obfs4 to provide anonymous SSH/RDP/SFTP/SMB access. The TTPs and infrastructure show similarities to the December 2024 Army+ campaign attributed to Sandworm (UAC-0125/APT44), including pre-generated RSA keys and OpenSSH for Windows deployment. #Sandworm #obfs4
The FCC plans to revoke cybersecurity regulations previously imposed on telecom companies following Chinese hacking attacks linked to Salt Typhoon. The agency argues that telecoms have already taken voluntary security measures and that the earlier regulations were overly rigid and unnecessary. #SaltTyphoon #ChineseHackers…
