New Dark Web Findings: Credit Cards & Weapon Bot Malware 

In a fresh dark web sweep, SOCRadar researchers have discovered three new issues worth immediate attention:

First, there’s a major auction of roughly 413,000 stolen credit cards, mainly from the U.S. and Canada. The seller is bundling cards from multiple leaks and offering a validity-checking service, indicating an organized marketplace rather than a simple dump.

Second, analysts identified a new malware framework called Weapon Bot. It’s delivered via MSI installers, built on Node.js/Rust/PowerShell, and designed to evade detection. It steals browser data, wallet seeds and session tokens, while also functioning as a botnet platform.

Lastly, threat actors are actively seeking a working exploit for CVE-2024-38077 (“MadLicense”), a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Remote Desktop Licensing Service. The demand suggests potential weaponization and real-world attacks.
