Ancient Office Flaw Revived: Cyber Siege on Ukraine with Cobalt Strike Malware
Beware of old PowerPoint slides, Ukraine! Cyber-sleuths found a sneaky flaw from 2014 being used to deliver Cobalt Strike mayhem. Military minds, check your files—this isn’t your usual army manual.
Hot Take:
When cyberattacks feel like a déjà vu all over again, it's probably because hackers are dusting off the ol' 2017 playbook to take a crack at Ukraine. PowerPoint presentations are the new Trojan horses, and Cobalt Strike is having a field day in memory, all while masquerading as a bland VPN client. Meanwhile, Russian hackers are taking a break from vodka to play digital Jenga with Ukraine's infrastructure. It's like watching a cat-and-mouse game, if the cat was a hacker and the mouse was an entire country.Already a member? Log in here
