We have now analysed the new worm (see below) further. It’s actually a new variant of Atak – Email-Worm.Win32.Atak.h. Some variants of this family are similar to some of the Mydoom worms.

Atak.h copies itself to the Windows system directory as dec25.exe

It writes itself to win.ini to ensure that a copy of the worm is launched each time the victim machine is started.

[windows] run=file path dec25.exe

A full description will be available soon.

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.
