Microsoft has just announced the availability of their Anti-Spyware software tool, based on previous code purchased at the end of the past year from NY-based “Giant”. The software download is a 6.4MB executable which can be obtained from:

Keep in mind that as any other beta software, this may have unexpected results. Test it on a spare system before running it on your production servers!

Also keep in mind that KAV can detect and remove many kinds of spyware by simply activating the download and usage of ‘extended databases’, in the Updater Configuration panel.

Kaspersky discovered a new APT CloudSorcerer targeting Russian government entities and using cloud services as C2, just like the CloudWizard actor.

The report features the most significant developments relating to APT groups in Q1 2024, including the new malware campaigns DuneQuixote and Durian, and hacktivist activity.

We continue to report on the APT group ToddyCat. This time, we’ll talk about traffic tunneling, constant access to a target infrastructure and data extraction from hosts.

New unattributed DuneQuixote campaign targeting entities in the Middle East employs droppers disguised as Total Commander installer and CR4T backdoor in C and Go.
