Mirax integrates advanced Remote Access Trojan (RAT) capabilities, allowing threat actors to fully interact with compromised devices in real time, enhancing its operational value significantly.
This phishing attack enabled the threat actor to access 'certain internal IT business applications.' The malicious actor gained unauthorized entry by compromising an employee's access to the organization's internal network for business administration.
In a notice sent to customers on Monday and seen by The Register, the EV charging outfit said that it detected "unusual activity" on its AWS cloud platform on March 7 and quickly discovered that attackers had launched a ransomware attack against parts of its infrastructure. According to the message, some databases were both encrypted and copied during the intrusion, meaning that the crooks likely walked off with user information before the company pulled the plug.
Cybersecurity researchers disclosed they have detected a case of an information stealer infection successfully exfiltrating a victim's OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot and Moltbot) configuration environment. "This finding marks a significant milestone in the evolution of infostealer behavior: the transition from stealing browser credentials to harvesting the 'souls' and identities of personal AI [artificial intelligence] agents," Hudson Rock said. Alon Gal, CTO of Hudson Rock, told The Hacker News that the stealer was likely a variant of Vidar based on the infection details.
Security researchers have discovered a live infection in which an infostealer has stolen the configuration files of an OpenClaw AI agent. The attack was carried out through a broad file-theft routine that automatically searched for sensitive file extensions and specific folder names, including .openclaw. The malware was not specifically designed for OpenClaw; it arose by chance from capturing the operational context of the victim's AI assistant. What makes the attack particularly serious is the combination of stolen data.
In its annual Red Report, a body of research that analyzes real-world attacker techniques using large-scale attack simulation data, Picus Labs warns cybersecurity professionals that threat actors are rapidly shifting away from ransomware encryption to parasitic "sleeperware" extortion as their means to loot organizations for millions of dollars per attack. Released today and now in its sixth year, the 278-page Red Report gets its name from Picus-organized cybersecurity exercises that take the perspective of the attacker's team, otherwise known as the "red team."
