LastPass issues warning about an active phishing campaign
LastPass has released a statement to warn users about a phishing campaign that is targeting its users. A report published by the LastPass Threat Intelligence, Mitigation, and Escalation (TIME) team revealed that the phishing campaign began last week. The attackers are sending emails to users of the password manager service, claiming that LastPass is performing maintenance, and urging users to backup their vault in the next 24 hours. This is not a real message.
LastPass says This is an attempt by malicious actors to create a sense of urgency, causing users to panic and prompting them to click on the link. If this happens, your password and login may be compromised, resulting in identity theft, fraud, etc. Users are advised not to click on any link in such mails.
LinkedIn users are being targeted by phishing attacks
LastPass isn’t the only service that’s being targeted by malicious actors. Hackers are focusing on LinkedIn to phish executives and admins. According to ReliaQuest, threat actors are focusing on high-value targets by sharing fake job ads. This sophisticated attack consists of a payload that is injected using a remote access trojan, RAT. When the user clicks on the shared archive, it automatically extracts the data, and places a fake PDF reader in the folder. Opening this file loads a malicious DLL that runs malicious code.
Security experts warn Online threats are evolving, and hackers are expanding phishing attacks beyond email inboxes, and social media like LinkedIn are among the many platforms that modern attackers use for their nefarious purposes.
The anthem is back thanks to fan servers
A few weeks ago, Electronic Arts shut down the servers for its loot shooter game, Anthem. The game, which launched in 2019, had plenty of flaws, but it still managed to attract a cult following. But it never really took off, which eventually led to EA and BioWare abandoning it. Mark Darrah, one of the game’s producers, even mentioned that Anthem could have survived if it had a single-player mode. Darrah claimed that the process would be relatively inexpensive, and would allow fans to continue playing the game. But it was of no use and the game was stopped. However, the anthem got new life thanks to some fans who managed to make private server to play games.
This is not an official fix, and reports indicate that some online features do not work. This is more or less a proof of concept that shows this is a way to play the game. This private server was showcased on a YouTube channel for research purposes. Maybe this could convince EA to revive the game, but that’s a longshot.
