HP Uncovers Ultra-Realistic Adobe Invoice and Chained Living Off The Land Technique Scam

Posted in Commentary with tags on September 12, 2025 by itnerd

HP Wolf Security just released its September Threat Insights Report highlightinig how attackers are modifying and improving old techniques to bypass detection and fool users.

By chaining living-off-the-land (LOTL) tools, using advanced visual deception to boost phishing success, and hiding malware in less obvious file types, like images, attackers are sharpening their edge.

Notable campaigns highlighted in the report include:

  • Fake Adobe Reader invoices – ultra-realistic upload screens (see image below) – including a fake loading bar – used to hide a reverse shell inside a small SVG image, giving attackers remote access to user devices.
  • Malware Hidden in Image Pixels – malicious code embedded in pixel data of Microsoft Compiled HTML Help files, with PowerShell and CMD used to execute and then delete evidence.
  • Resurgent Lumma Stealer – spreading through IMG archive attachments, using LOTL and image-based delivery to bypass filters despite a law-enforcement crackdown earlier this year.

The report is here and there is a blog post as well for your reading pleasure.

Flashpoint’s New Guidebook on Primary Source Collections Is Out

Posted in Commentary with tags on September 12, 2025 by itnerd

Executives don’t ask for “security data feeds.” They want to know: Are we exposed? What’s the impact? How do we respond? 

Modern threat intelligence teams are under constant pressure to deliver precise, contextual answers to these questions—not just for cybersecurity, but also for fraud, legal, insider risk, physical security, and more. These internal stakeholders demand clarity on issues like whether a brand is being directly targeted, who is behind a disinformation campaign, or what fraud tactics are emerging in closed, non-English-speaking communities. 

Flashpoint has released a guide on primary source collection entitled Upgrade Your Threat Intelligence: Gain the Primary Source Advantage.

Traditional “data-first” frameworks produce breadth without depth, forcing teams into a passive role. Such questions can’t be answered by static dashboards or broad threat feeds; they require direct access to original sources, adaptive collection, and expert analysis that ties threats to business impact.

In this report Flashpoint lays out how Primary Source Collection changes the equation of doing data collection the usual way. Without this approach, organizations risk blind spots—unmonitored closed communities, fast-moving threats missed by rigid collection schedules, and generic context divorced from business needs.

Telegram’s Cybercrime Heyday is Fading Says Netcraft

Posted in Commentary with tags on September 12, 2025 by itnerd

Coming off the heels of Netcraft’s insight into homoglyph swapping scams, here’s some new insight for you to read.

Telegram quickly gained favor with bad actors for distributing ransomware to pulling off romance scams, however, new research from Netcraft finds the messaging app may be losing favor with fraudsters.  

What’s replacing it? Going full circle back to good old-fashioned email.   Among Netcraft researchers’ latest findings:  

  • While the number of websites using Telegram integrations tripled from May to June, the number of phishing sites using Telegram to transmit stolen data dropped sharply 
  • As platforms crack down, the battleground for credential theft is shifting  
  • Simultaneous to the drop in Telegram’s usage, there was a 25% uptick in the use of email for credential delivery

Specops Posts New Report Called “Securing the Service Desk”

Posted in Commentary with tags on September 12, 2025 by itnerd

Service desks have evolved from internal support functions into prime hunting grounds for cybercriminals. Armed with AI vishing technologies and carefully crafted social engineering scripts, attackers are systematically targeting the human element of cybersecurity. 

These cyber criminals are weaponizing people’s instinct to help, turning IT staff into accidental accomplices who hand over password resets, disable multi-factor authentication, and grant privileged access. Unfortunately, too many organizations are leaving their staff open to these threats. Traditional technical defenses that cost thousands to implement can be bypassed with a convincing voice, a few publicly available details, and exploitation of predictable human psychology. It’s a simple but effective attack methodology that demands immediate attention. 

Using forensic analysis of recent high-profile breaches, Specops Software reveals in a newly published report Securing the Service Desk how verification failures cascade into operational disasters.

The new report details: 

  • Real-world case studies from M&S, Clorox, Google, Air France-KLM, MGM Resorts, and other major breaches 
  • Why AI voice cloning and social engineering are so effective against service desks 
  • The three-pillar defense strategy that stops social engineering attacks  
  • Five immediately actionable steps to make a vulnerable process secure  
  • How to implement phishing-resistant verification that can’t be bypassed 

The full report is here.
