Phishing Phrenzy: Russian Hackers Unleash LAMEHUG Malware with AI Sauce!
CERT-UA reveals a phishing campaign delivering LAMEHUG malware, attributed to Russian group APT28. LAMEHUG uses a large language model to generate commands. The malware, hidden in emails as a ZIP file, collects data from compromised systems. This highlights the growing trend of threat actors exploiting legitimate services like Hugging Face for cyber attacks.
Hot Take:
Oh, how the mighty LAMEHUG has fallen! A malware with a fancy name and an even fancier coding assistance, but still tripping over its own laces when it comes to evading detection. Maybe it should try rebranding as LAMEHUG 2.0: Now with Extra Stealth!
Key Points:
- Ukrainian CERT unveils a phishing campaign delivering LAMEHUG malware.
- LAMEHUG employs a large language model (LLM) to execute commands.
- Russian APT28 (Fancy Bear) suspected to be behind the campaign.
- The malware uses Hugging Face for command-and-control operations.
