RVTools Website Hacked: Malware Mayhem for VMware Users!

Hackers turned RVTools’ official site into a digital booby trap, serving a malware-laden installer. Users are urged to avoid unofficial sources and check their installs for rogue DLLs. Meanwhile, Procolored printers’ software was caught moonlighting with malware, making it a bad day for unsuspecting tech enthusiasts and their wallets.

Hot Take:

Looks like the RVTools website took a detour to Malwareville, and it seems like it wasn’t just a casual pit stop. Users downloaded a side of Bumblebee malware with their VMware environment utility, which is definitely not the kind of buzz anyone was hoping for!

Key Points:

  • RVTools’ official site was compromised to distribute malware-laden software.
  • Bumblebee malware loader was sneakily included in the installer.
  • Procolored printers’ software also had a malware surprise inside.
  • XRed and SnipVex malware targeted system information and cryptocurrency wallets.
  • Procolored acknowledged the issue, but the aftermath still lingers.
