Cloudflare Tunnel Trouble: Serpentine#Cloud Malware Strikes Again!
Securonix has uncovered the Serpentine#Cloud campaign, where hackers use Cloudflare Tunnel to host malware payloads. They cleverly disguise LNK files as PDFs in phishing emails, hoping victims will take the bait. Once clicked, a complex chain of events unfurls, delivering Python-based mischief right under your antivirus software’s nose.
Hot Take:
Looks like cybercriminals have decided that using Cloudflare Tunnels is their new favorite pastime, turning them into the digital version of hide-and-seek. While we applaud their creativity, we’re not exactly thrilled about their choice of hobbies. Who knew tunnels could be so treacherous? Probably the same folks who think it’s a good idea to disguise malware as innocent PDFs. Spoiler: it’s not a good idea.
Key Points:
- Securonix has discovered a malware campaign, Serpentine#Cloud, exploiting Cloudflare Tunnels.
- The campaign uses LNK files and obfuscated scripts to deliver a Python-based loader.
- Victims are targeted via phishing emails with payment-related themes.
- Cloudflare Tunnels allow attackers to remain anonymous and bypass detection.
- Serpentine#Cloud uses techniques like Early Bird APC injection and delivers RATs like AsyncRAT.
