Fake Github Pocs Are Spreading Windows And Linux Malware Hackers are now impersonating security researchers on github to spread fake zero day proof of concept (poc) exploits that infect windows and linux machines. the fake profiles come from a company named “high sierra cyber security” promoting their fake poc repositories in github. In early may, vulncheck came across a malicious github repository that claimed to be a signal 0 day. the team reported the repository to github, and it was quickly taken down. the same scenario continued throughout may.
Fake Github Pocs Are Spreading Windows And Linux Malware Vulncheck discovers a network of fake security researcher accounts promoting hidden malware. Hackers are impersonating cybersecurity researchers on twitter and github to publish fake proof of concept exploits for zero day vulnerabilities that infect windows and linux with malware. A new data stealing malware called boryptgrab has been quietly spreading across windows systems through a network of fake github repositories, tricking users into downloading what appear to be popular free software tools. New malware spreads via fake github downloads, stealing browser passwords, crypto wallets, discord tokens, and credit card details from windows users.
Fake Github Repos Caught Dropping Malware As Pocs Again A new data stealing malware called boryptgrab has been quietly spreading across windows systems through a network of fake github repositories, tricking users into downloading what appear to be popular free software tools. New malware spreads via fake github downloads, stealing browser passwords, crypto wallets, discord tokens, and credit card details from windows users. According to their report, multiple accounts on github and twitter claim to distribute poc (proof of concept) exploits for zero day exploits in popular software. however, these are fake accounts, and the pocs deliver malware. Researchers have uncovered a stealthy campaign in which the webrat trojan, known for months to hide inside game cheats and cracked software, is now posing as proof of concept exploit repositories. We dissect the new webrat campaign where the trojan spreads via github repositories, masquerading as critical vulnerability exploits to target cybersecurity researchers. The recently released malware, webrat, is spreading quickly through counterfeit github repositories; claims to contain proof of concept exploits for undisclosed newly discovered vulnerabilities.
