Serpentine#Cloud: The Malware Campaign Slipperier Than a Greased Python
In a plot twist worthy of a digital detective novel, the Serpentine#Cloud malware campaign slithers through Cloudflare tunnel subdomains, executing in-memory malicious code. The attack evades detection, making it harder for security researchers to pin down the elusive culprits. With its sneaky strategies, this campaign is certainly no cloud nine.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, if it isn’t another episode of ‘Malware Gone Wild’ starring Serpentine#Cloud as the villain. Who knew the secret to being a stealthy hacker was to pretend you’re just a harmless Cloudflare developer? Apparently, the bad guys have switched from wearing ski masks to wearing fake nerd glasses and cloud-themed t-shirts. Kudos to them for mastering the art of digital disguise. Maybe next they’ll start a YouTube channel on how to infiltrate systems, all while blending in with legitimate network traffic. Watch out, Hollywood, there’s a new blockbuster in town called “Cloudflare: The Invisible Hacker’s Playground!”
Key Points:
– The Serpentine#Cloud campaign uses Cloudflare tunnels for stealthy malware delivery.
– Infections are widespread, with a focus on Western countries like the US, UK, and Germany.
– Attackers employ invoice-themed phishing emails to initiate the infection process.
– The campaign utilizes multi-stage attack techniques with native Windows tools.
– Final payloads include memory-resident RATs like AsyncRAT or Revenge RAT.
