A China-linked espionage group hid inside North American medical, academic, and military research networks for more than a year, quietly stealing sensitive research and defense email
Chainable Bugs Enable Credential Theft, Persistence, TakeoverFour chainable flaws in OpenClaw allowed attackers to move from an initial foothold to persistent system-level compromise by abusing the AI agent's own privileges. The bugs enabled credential theft, privilege escalation and backdoor deployment, affecting all versions released before April 23.
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new Linux backdoor named PamDOORa that's being advertised on the Rehub Russian cybercrime forum for $1,600 by a threat actor called "darkworm." The backdoor is designed as a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)-based post-exploitation toolkit that enables persistent SSH access by means of a magic password and specific TCP port combination.
A previously undocumented Linux implant named Quasar Linux (QLNX) is targeting developers' systems with a mix of rootkit, backdoor, and credential-stealing capabilities. [...]
TrendAI™ Research breaks down Quasar Linux (QLNX), a previously undocumented sophisticated Linux RAT with low detection rates. In this blog, we examine a full-featured Linux threat incorporating a rootkit, a PAM backdoor, credential harvesting, and more, revealing how this malware enables stealthy access, persistence, and potential supply-chain attacks.
Deep#Door Python RAT uses tunneling and obfuscation to evade detection and steal credentials
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a stealthy Python-based backdoor framework called DEEP#DOOR that comes with capabilities to establish persistent access and harvest a wide range of sensitive information from compromised hosts
The prolific China-backed threat group is targeting AWS, Google, Azure, and Alibaba cloud environments and using typosquatting to obscure C2 communication.
TeamPCP orchestrated one of the most sophisticated multi-ecosystem supply chain campaigns publicly documented to date that cascaded through developer tooling and compromised LiteLLM, exposing how AI proxy services that concentrate API keys and cloud credentials become high-value collateral when supply chain attacks compromise upstream dependencies.
TeamPCP, the threat actor behind the recent compromises of Trivy and KICS, has now compromised a popular Python package named litellm, pushing two malicious versions containing a credential harvester, a Kubernetes lateral movement toolkit, and a persistent backdoor
Full scale of infections remains 'unknown' China-linked attackers exploited a maximum-severity hardcoded-credential bug in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines as a zero-day since at least mid-2024. It's all part of a long-running effort to backdoor infected machines for long-term access, according to Google's Mandiant incident response team.…
Chinese-Linked Malware Campaign Targets Critical Environments With Weak MonitoringU.S. and Canadian cyber authorities say Chinese state-backed actors used a backdoor dubbed BRICKSTORM to maintain long-term access into critical infrastructure, exploiting VMware environments to exfiltrate credentials and evade detection through encrypted covert channels.
A new macOS malware chain using staged scripts and a Go-based backdoor has been attributed to FlexibleFerret, designed to steal credentials and maintain system access
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new Rust-based backdoor called ChaosBot that can allow operators to conduct reconnaissance and execute arbitrary commands on compromised hosts
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a previously undocumented Linux backdoor dubbed Plague that has managed to evade detection for a year
Semperis Warns of Flaw in Windows Server 2025 Delegated Managed Service AccountsA critical cryptographic flaw in Windows Server 2025's delegated Managed Service Accounts, or dMSAs, allows attackers to generate passwords for every managed service account across an Active Directory forest and create a backdoor, Semperis researchers found.
Hacking Group UNC6148 Steals Credentials With New OVERSTEP Rootkit, Google SaysA cybercrime group used a backdoor in a fully patched SonicWall appliance to steal credentials and may have sold the stolen data to ransomware groups as part of an ongoing campaign, Google Threat Intelligence Group found. The firm attributed the campaign to a cybercrime group it tracks as UNC6148.
Cisco has removed a backdoor account from its Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), which would have allowed remote attackers to log in to unpatched devices with root privileges. [...]
