Great thefts stir the imagination like no others. The famous D B Cooper’s case, the United California Bank robbery, or the Great Train Robbery from 1963. Do “electronic” thefts stir the same amount of emotions? It’s hard to say, but when over 600 million dollars disappears from one of the financial platforms, it will bring a lot of hype. But let’s keep our feet on the ground and ask really important questions. Namely, how does it happened, was there a way to prevent the theft, is there any chance to get the money back, and what about the victims – BinanceChain, Ethereum, and Polygon miners?

Critical VMware vulnerabilities are not the only problem faced by this virtualization software vendor last week. Do you remember the BlackMatter group that proclaimed itself to be the successor of REvil we warned you against in the last issue? It already has an encryption program targeting VMware ESXi. Today we also describe a unique business model of the new LockBit 2.0. and a cyberespionage campaign targeting the largest telecoms. For the sake of balance, we are describing a new project from Microsoft – with “Super Duper Secure Mode” the company wants to change the landscape of exploits and increase the cost of attacks.

Last week, the industry media reported on spectacular debuts or rebirths in the cybercriminal world. Do you remember our news from two weeks ago about the end of REvil? Well, we advised you to hold on with popping the champagne … The celebration was interrupted by the news about the emergence of two ransomware groups on the market – BlackMatter and Haron, which may turn out to be successors of REvil and Avaddon. And it’s not the end of big returns – Oscorp Android malware stealing data and funds from banking apps came back even stronger in a form of UBEL botnet. 

What else? If Apple calls for urgent updating of most devices just one week after a series of patches, know something is happening. In addition – a critical Hyper-V vulnerability, which received the infamous rating of 9.9 on a ten-grade threat scale!
