More than 400 packages in the Arch User Repository (AUR) are distributing a Linux rootkit and infostealer malware targeting credentials and access tokens. [...]
A large-scale npm supply chain attack compromised over 90 versions of @redhat-cloud-services packages, silently infecting CI/CD environments and developer systems. The malicious code steals credentials from GitHub, cloud platforms, and local machines, then spreads like a worm by republishing trusted packages. Discover how the attack works, what data is at risk, and the steps you can take to protect your organization. The post Preinstall to persistence: Inside the Red Hat npm Miasma credential-stealing campaign appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
More than 30 npm packages under Red Hat's '@redhat-cloud-services' namespace were compromised in a supply-chain attack that distributed a new variant of the Shai-Hulud credential-stealing malware, dubbed "Miasma." [...]
A new Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain attack campaign, codenamed Miasma, has compromised @redhat-cloud-services packages to steal credentials and secrets from developer machines and deliver a self-propagating worm
A multi-stage attack on Linux devices began with an exposed F5 BIG-IP edge appliance and pivoted to an internal Confluence server for credential theft and identity compromise. Learn how the threat actor attempted Kerberos relay and lateral movement, and how Microsoft Defender detected, blocked, and unraveled the attack. The post From edge appliance to enterprise compromise: Multi-stage Linux intrusion via F5 and Confluence appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
Compromised @antv npm packages deploy the Mini Shai-Hulud payload to steal CI/CD secrets from Linux-based automation environments. The malware executes during npm install and targets credentials across GitHub, AWS, Kubernetes, Vault, npm, and 1Password platforms. The post Mini Shai Hulud: Compromised @antv npm packages enable CI/CD credential theft appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
A previously undocumented Linux implant codenamed Quasar Linux RAT (QLNX) is targeting developers' systems to establish a silent foothold as well as facilitate a broad range of post-compromise functionality, such as credential harvesting, keylogging, file manipulation, clipboard monitoring, and network tunneling
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.
