ResokerRAT Hijacks Telegram API to Command Infected Windows PCs

A newly discovered Windows malware called ResokerRAT uses Telegram’s Bot API for its command-and-control operations, allowing it to monitor and manipulate infected systems without a conventional server. It obscures its communications by integrating with legitimate Telegram traffic, complicating detection. Upon execution, it creates a mutex to ensure only one instance runs and checks for debuggers to avoid analysis. It attempts to relaunch with elevated privileges and logs failures to its operator. ResokerRAT terminates known monitoring tools and installs a global keyboard hook to obstruct defensive key combinations. It operates through text-based commands sent via Telegram, allowing it to check processes, take screenshots, and modify system settings to evade detection. Persistence is achieved by adding itself to startup and altering UAC settings. The malware retrieves additional payloads from specified URLs and uses URL-encoded data for communication. Researchers have confirmed its Telegram traffic, and its behavior aligns with various MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Security teams are advised to monitor for unusual Telegram traffic and scrutinize registry keys related to startup and UAC.

‘Blockchain-powered’ game storefront reportedly shutting down and taking customers’ games with it

Robot Cache, launched in 2018 as a digital marketplace for reselling games using blockchain technology, has announced its closure due to an insufficient user base and sales momentum.

The Windows 11 UI is truly awful; sliders that should be there have disappeared, leaving only ‘0’ and ‘3’ as selectable options, and the item names are incomprehensible.

A glitch in the keyboard settings screen of Windows 11 Pro version 25H2, build 26200.8039, has been reported following the March 2026 monthly update. The issue involves the 'Wait time before keyboard characters appear' setting, which displays a lengthy text prompt 'Increase wait time' instead of the expected slider, making the slider nearly invisible. Users can only adjust the value to '0' or '3' using the mouse, while the keyboard allows for four levels: '0', '1', '2', and '3'. A previous build, 26200.7623, had the positions of 'Short' and 'Longer waiting times' reversed. Users can report this issue through the Feedback Hub by pressing 'Windows key' and 'F', which captures a screenshot and allows them to summarize their feedback. Submissions can be tracked by signing in with a Microsoft account, and feedback is archived in 'C:ProgramDataMicrosoftDiagnosisFeedbackArchive'.

Bogus Avast website fakes virus scan, installs Venom Stealer instead

A deceptive website impersonating Avast antivirus tricks users into downloading Venom Stealer malware, which steals passwords, session cookies, and cryptocurrency wallet information. The site conducts a fake virus scan, falsely reporting threats to encourage users to download a malicious file named Avastsystemcleaner.exe. This file mimics legitimate software and operates stealthily, targeting web browsers to harvest credentials and session cookies. It also captures screenshots and sends stolen data to the command-and-control domain app-metrics-cdn[.]com via unencrypted HTTP. The malware employs evasion techniques to avoid detection and is part of a long-standing cybercrime tactic that exploits user trust in security software. Indicators of compromise include the file hash SHA-256: ecbeaa13921dbad8028d29534c3878503f45a82a09cf27857fa4335bd1c9286d, the domain app-metrics-cdn[.]com, and the network indicator 104.21.14.89.
