Seriously? More Malware Bullshit.

Right, listen up you lot. Apparently, some chuckleheads are pushing a new loader called FallenAngel. It’s a .NET thing, because *of course* it is – gotta keep things easy for the script kiddies. This crap’s been spotted dropping Vidar and Lumma stealer info, so expect credential harvesting if you aren’t paying attention.

The initial infection vector? Phishing emails with malicious attachments. Shocking, I know. Like anyone hasn’t seen *that* before. They’re using legitimate services like OneDrive to host the payloads, making detection a bit harder for the truly inept security teams out there. It also uses process hollowing which is just…great.

They’ve been targeting mostly US-based organizations, but don’t think you’re safe if you aren’t in the States. Malware doesn’t have borders, you know. The SANS folks are saying to update your endpoint detection and response (EDR) rules, scan for indicators of compromise (IOCs), and tell your users to stop clicking on everything they get emailed. Honestly, it’s basic hygiene people!

And as always, patch your damn systems. I swear, if I have to explain this one more time…

I once had to clean up a network where the entire IT department thought “security through obscurity” was a viable strategy. They’d renamed all their admin accounts to things like “Bob,” “Steve,” and “Password.” Seriously. Bob. Password. I nearly quit on the spot. Don’t be those people.
