📱 Crocodilus Android Malware: This nasty piece of work is targeting crypto wallets by using fake overlays to steal seed phrases. It's bypassing security measures and using social engineering to gain access. Watch out for this one, especially if you have users in Turkey and Spain! 🇪🇸 🇹🇷

malicious npm packages (again) targeting cryptocurrency projects, CEOs cranky over CVEs, and BlackLock gets pantsed - here's your Friday wrap up in Infosec News 👇

🔗 opalsec.io/daily-news-update-f

Here's a quick rundown of what's inside:

📦 npm Package Nightmare: 10 packages compromised by an infostealer campaign targeting developer environments. Sensitive data was siphoned off to a remote host. Most of the packages are still available on npm, so be careful!
🦊 Firefox Flaw: A critical sandbox escape vulnerability (CVE-2025-2857) patched in Firefox 136.0.4. Windows users, update ASAP! This one's similar to a Chrome zero-day used in espionage campaigns.
🏥 Ransomware Reckoning: Advanced, a UK healthcare IT provider, slapped with a £3.1 million fine after a LockBit ransomware attack. Lack of vulnerability scanning and poor patch management were key factors.
🌐 Extension Exploitation: Browser extensions can be bought and repurposed, posing a sneaky threat to enterprises. An extension was bought for $50 and was quickly repurposed to redirect traffic.
⚡ Solar Scare: Dozens of vulnerabilities in solar inverters could let attackers disrupt power grids. Remote code execution, device takeover, and more are possible.
😠 CrushFTP Clash: CEO responds aggressively to VulnCheck after critical unauthenticated access vulnerability (CVE-2025-2825) is released. Vulnerability disclosure and patching processes need to be improved!
🕵️‍♀️ Pegasus in Serbia: Journalists targeted with Pegasus spyware, marking the third time in two years that Amnesty has found Pegasus deployed against Serbian civil society.
🤖 Mamont Malware: Russian authorities arrest three for developing the Mamont Android banking trojan. This malware steals financial data and spreads through Telegram.
🦹 Ransomware Reverse: Resecurity infiltrates the BlackLock ransomware gang, gathering intel to help victims. LFI vulnerability exploited, and data shared with authorities.

Stay vigilant out there, folks! 🛡️
