    #StopRansomware: SafePay Ransomware

    CISA, FBI, USSS, and international partners issued a joint advisory on SafePay ransomware, active since August 2024, targeting businesses and critical infrastructure across North America, South America, Europe, and Australia. SafePay actors gain initial access via credential theft, brute force, phishing, and exploitation of known CVEs in VPN and edge devices. After gaining access, they establish persistence using LOTL techniques, escalate privileges via UAC bypass, move laterally with RDP/WinRM/PsExec, and exfiltrate data using tools like RClone, FileZilla, and WinSCP. Files are encrypted using a hybrid ChaCha20 and RSA encryption scheme, appended with '.SafePay', and ransom is demanded in cryptocurrency. The group has impacted at least 600 victims and operates a leak site on TOR for double-extortion. Key mitigations include patching known exploited vulnerabilities, implementing MFA, network segmentation, offline backups, and Zero Trust principles.

    Hackers Use New ROMULUS ClickFix Platform to Deliver LegionLoader and Other Malware

    Cybersecurity researchers from Forescout Research - Vedere Labs have disclosed details of a new malware delivery platform called ROMULUS that uses ClickFix-style lures. The platform operates as a malware-as-a-service, using fake landing pages to trick users into executing malicious commands on their own machines. ROMULUS is being actively used to distribute malware including Legion Loader. The ClickFix technique involves social engineering users into running malicious commands by presenting fake error messages or verification prompts. This platform represents a growing trend of commoditized malware delivery services that lower the barrier to entry for threat actors. The use of bogus landing pages makes attribution and detection more challenging for defenders.

    Hackers Exploit Plex2Shell Flaws to Install Crypto Miners and Linux Proxy Backdoor

    Threat actors are actively exploiting a chain of four vulnerabilities in Plex Media Server, collectively dubbed Plex2Shell, to deploy cryptocurrency miners and reverse proxy backdoor software on affected systems. The exploitation began just one day after a public proof-of-concept (PoC) was released by a researcher known as boredhackerblog. The attack chain involves chaining four distinct vulnerabilities together to achieve code execution and persistence. The deployment of crypto miners indicates financial motivation, while the Linux proxy backdoor suggests the attackers may also be building infrastructure for further malicious activity. The rapid exploitation following PoC release underscores the urgency for Plex Media Server users to apply patches immediately.

    Popular WordPress SEO Plugin Rank Math PRO Hijacked to Deliver Self-Restoring Backdoor

    The popular WordPress SEO plugin Rank Math PRO was compromised in a supply chain attack. Malicious copies were distributed via the official rankmath.com website and as updates between 20:02 UTC on October 15 and 07:12 UTC on October 16, 2026. The tampered plugin versions contained malware designed to install a self-restoring backdoor on affected WordPress sites. Any site that installed and activated one of the compromised versions should be treated as fully compromised. Rank Math issued a security notice on October 16 disclosing the incident. The self-restoring nature of the backdoor makes remediation particularly challenging, as simply removing the plugin may not fully clean the infection.

    Supply Chain Zero Days: Closing the Gap Between Publication and Detection

    Wiz explores the critical gap between when supply chain zero-days occur and when they are officially detected or assigned CVEs. The article highlights how malicious code injected into trusted packages can rapidly propagate through developer environments and beyond. Wiz introduces its supply chain pipeline capability that monitors and identifies compromised packages at the point of publication, enabling security teams to detect zero-day supply chain compromises proactively. The solution integrates with Wiz Defend to provide early warning before a CVE is formally published. This approach addresses a significant blind spot in traditional vulnerability management, where teams typically rely on CVE publication as a trigger for response. By closing the detection gap, organizations can reduce their exposure window to supply chain attacks significantly.
