Cyber Sneaks Unleashed: Black Basta’s Cardinal Crew Exploits Windows Zero-Day Flaw
Facing the Black Basta blitz, Cardinal cybercriminals exploited a Windows flaw, CVE-2024-26169, to deploy mayhem—even as a zero-day. Patched? Sure, but too late for 500+ global victims. Cybersecurity’s cat-and-mouse game just got real. #BlackBasta #CybercrimeChronicles
Hot Take:
Oh, the cardinal sin of cybercrime – exploiting a vulnerability before the good guys can slap a patch on it! It's like the Cardinal group was playing ding dong ditch with cybersecurity, only instead of running away, they left a ransomware package on Microsoft's doorstep. And as if being the cool new kid on the block wasn't enough, Black Basta just had to go and affiliate themselves with these pranksters. It's like the Justice League of cybercrime, if the Justice League was into chaos and encryption instead of saving the world.
