Show Notes
In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some intel being shared in the LimaCharlie community.
- Researchers at Trend Micro have uncovered a new campaign by the Fog ransomware group, notable for its use of DOGE-themed ransom notes aimed at mocking victims rather than just extorting them.
- In the wake of May 2024’s Operation Endgame, which dismantled some of the most prominent malware droppers such as IcedID, Pikabot, SystemBC, Smokeloader, and Bumblebee, law enforcement agencies across Europe and North America have moved into a new phase targeting end users of these platforms.
- Zscaler researchers have recently observed Mustang Panda—also known by aliases like Bronze President, Stately Taurus, and TA416—upgrading its toolset as part of an ongoing espionage campaign, with a recent operation targeting an organization in Myanmar.
- Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), identified as one of the most impactful macOS-targeting infostealers of 2024, leverages deceptive application installers and phishing tactics to gain access to victim machines.
