Google Play app spread SMS trojan for more than a year

CyberScoop reports that over 100 Ukrainian local government and police documents uploaded to VirusTotal in February were discovered to have been infected with the OfflRouter malware, which dates back to 2015 and could only spread through already compromised files and removable media devices.

Intrusions hijacking the eScan antivirus software's updating mechanism have been conducted by threat actors suspected to be linked to North Korean advanced persistent threat operation Kimsuky to facilitate the delivery of the sophisticated GuptiMiner malware that would then distribute cryptocurrency mining payloads, according to BleepingComputer.

BleepingComputer reports that U.S., Germany, Japan, and UK systems have been subjected to ongoing attacks by suspected Vietnamese hacking group CoralRaider leveraging a content delivery network cache to facilitate the deployment of information-stealing payloads.
