New ClickFix Malware Campaign Exploits Windows App-V Scripts to Deploy Dangerous Infostealer 

Avatar Image 60x60Ravi Jain
Cybercriminals are targeting organizations with a new malware campaign that exploits Windows App-V scripts to deploy the Amatera infostealer. The attack combines social engineering tactics with legitimate Windows components, tricking users into running malicious commands through fake CAPTCHA pages. By manipulating Microsoft’s SyncAppvPublishingServer.vbs script and PowerShell, the attackers bypass traditional security defenses, making detection more difficult. Once inside, Amatera steals sensitive data such as passwords and cookies, using Google Calendar and steganography to hide its activities. To combat this threat, businesses must restrict access to system tools, monitor PowerShell activities, and provide security awareness training for employees to recognize fake verification pages. Traditional antivirus solutions are not enough—organizations need advanced endpoint detection and response to protect against these evolving tactics. ... Read More

Avatar Image 60x60Ravi Jain
Glassworm malware campaign, a sophisticated supply chain attack that specifically targets developers utilizing the Visual Studio Code extension marketplaces, including OpenVSX and Microsoft. This latest wave of malware evades platform security by employing advanced obfuscation techniques, notably using invisible Unicode characters and pushing malicious code through updates after initial approval. Once active, Glassworm’s primary function is credential theft, harvesting authentication tokens for GitHub, npm, and other developer accounts, while also targeting dozens of cryptocurrency wallets. The malware further establishes persistent access by deploying SOCKS proxies and HVNC (Hidden Virtual Network Computing) clients, granting attackers undetected remote control over the compromised development environment. Utilizing the urgency of this threat, the text concludes with a promotional section from Technijian, a managed IT services provider, marketing its specialized cybersecurity, security training, and comprehensive defense strategies to businesses in Southern California. ...
