Sophos analysts are investigating a new infection chain for the GOLD BLADE cybercriminal group’s custom RedLoader malware, which initiates command and control (C2) communications.
Sophos MDR has observed 2 distinct social engineering campaigns using a technique referred to as ClickFix spiking during March. Both of these campaigns—one surging on 2 March & the other 12 March—attempted to deploy SecTopRAT malware. We are tracking this activity as STAC6380./1
In November, Sophos MDR noted a rapid decline in detections for the Rockstar2FA phishing as a service platform. Its rise was documented in a report by Trustwave on November 26. /1

This has been one of my favorites for a while, but now it's time to let it go.
Here's my preferred way of getting the KeePass db that we often hunt for:
downgrade the executable to version 2.53, use CVE-2023-24055 and wait for the busy admin to trigger the dump of the database.…
Sophos detailed to me its 5-year cat-and-mouse game with Chinese hackers repeatedly exploiting its firewalls. The company resorted to installing spy "implants" on devices the hackers were testing on—tracing them to a university and contractor in Chengdu. wired.com/story/sophos-c…
