Mark your calendars for this Friday's Super Cyber Friday, featuring the session titled "Hacking the Death of EDR." Russian state-sponsored hacking group Coldriver has introduced three new malware strains: NOROBOT, YESROBOT, and MAYBEROBOT, following the exposure of their previous tool, LostKeys. The new malware is designed to evade detection and extract sensitive data from high-value targets. Microsoft has acknowledged that Windows updates released since August 29th are causing login failures on systems with duplicate Security Identifiers (SIDs), leading to authentication failures. Microsoft recommends rebuilding affected systems or contacting support for a temporary fix. Kaspersky researchers have identified a likely Chinese-speaking threat actor behind the “PassiveNeuron” campaign, targeting government, financial, and industrial servers across Asia, Africa, and Latin America since 2024, using custom implants and Cobalt Strike. CISA has added high-severity vulnerabilities in Oracle E-Business Suite, Microsoft Windows SMB Client, Kentico Xperience CMS, and Apple JavaScriptCore to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, requiring federal agencies to patch by November 10th. Researchers from France's CEA and Soitec have unveiled a new chip architecture called Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator, designed to defend against laser fault injection attacks on automotive microcontrollers. During Pwn2Own Ireland 2025, researchers exploited 34 zero-days across various devices, earning a total of 2,500 in rewards, with Team DDOS chaining eight zero-days to compromise a QNAP router and NAS. Koi Security researchers discovered a new self-propagating malware named GlassWorm, which has infected approximately 36,000 developer systems by exploiting Visual Studio Code extensions, pilfering credentials, and installing remote access tools. PolarEdge is a botnet malware targeting Cisco, ASUS, QNAP, and Synology routers, first detected in February, which installs a TLS-based backdoor to fingerprint hosts and execute tasks while employing anti-analysis techniques.
