The cloud hack tool scene is highly intertwined, with many tools relying on one another’s code.  This is particularly true for malware families like AlienFox, Greenbot, Legion, and Predator, which share code from a credential scraping module called Androxgh0st.  Analysts identified a tool that is related but distinct from these families.  FBot is a Python-based attack tool with features to target web servers and cloud services as well as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) technologies, including:

Cybersecurity researchers are warning about an increase in phishing attacks that are capable of draining cryptocurrency wallets.  These threats are unique in their approach, targeting a wide range of blockchain networks, from Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain to Polygon, Avalanche, and almost 20 other networks by using a crypto wallet-draining technique.  A prominent contributor to this troubling trend is a notorious phishing group called Angel Drainer, which advertises a "Scam-as-a-Service" offe

Last week Microsoft Security issued a detailed report on a massive phishing-as-a-service operation named BulletProofLink that offered as a subscription and all the tools needed to conduct a campaign.  The phishing-as-a-service, or PHaaS, model differs from the phishing kits that many gangs have used in that it is more expansive and handles many of the small details that could befuddle a less tech-savvy attacker.

A Russian-speaking "Scam-as-a-Service" (SaaS) operation called, "Classiscam" is expanding globally, with 40 interconnected gangs in about a dozen countries using fake product advertisements to launch phishing schemes, the security firm Group-IB reports.  This “SaaS” is adding to the long list of hacker services for anyone to buy with some spare Bitcoin.

The fraud actors are posting fake online classified advertisements for products to trick interested buyers into visiting phishing pages, where t

There will be no let-up in ransomware attacks, as it has proven to such a profitable business model of cybercriminals.  The cybersecurity landscape is evolving, and many businesses do not understand how to keep their defenses ahead of the attackers.  While major corporations can spend as much as $1 billion a year, many small companies may not have the budget to hire a cybersecurity vendor to help them keep up with all the technology available needed to deter hackers.  The loss of just a few thou
