I-Worm.Mydoom.ad, which we detected yesterday, and its modification Mydoom.ae, which we detected today, have both been renamed in our antivirus databases as I-Worm.Bofra.a and .b.

These worms used the source code of Mydoom, but most virus analysts agree that they are actually a new family. And we agree with this opinion.

I-Worm.Mydoom.ad is renamed as I-Worm.Bofra.b
I-Worm.Mydoom.ae is renamed as I-Worm.Bofra.a

P.S. We have just detected another modification of this worm, which will be named I-Worm.Bofra.c.

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.
