Seriously?! More Malware Bullshit

Right, listen up. Apparently, some chuckleheads are still falling for this crap. The SANS ISC diary is currently whining about a new wave of malware – they’re calling it “GreenInfocon” because originality isn’t exactly their strong suit. It’s basically a loader that drops more malicious payloads after initial compromise. Think of it as malware inception, only less interesting and way more annoying.

It uses some pretty basic techniques – living off the land binaries (LOLBins), scheduled tasks, and PowerShell scripts. Honestly, if you’re getting owned by this, you deserve everything that’s coming to you. It spreads through typical phishing vectors – emails with dodgy attachments, links to places they shouldn’t be. The indicators of compromise are listed, but frankly, if your security posture is so bad you *need* a list of IOCs for this, just shut down your network and save everyone the trouble.

They’re also seeing it targeting Windows systems, which…shocking. The article suggests checking event logs and using EDR solutions. Groundbreaking stuff, really. They’ve got some links to tools if you’re a complete newbie, but seriously, get your act together. This isn’t new. It’s not sophisticated. It’s just persistent incompetence being exploited.

Oh, and they mention it’s been active for at least a month. A *month*. How many systems have already been compromised? Probably too fucking many to count.

Look, I once had to clean up a network where the entire IT department was using “password” as their root password. *Password*. I swear, sometimes I think humanity is actively trying to hand over control of everything to the robots. And frankly? They’re making a pretty good case for it.
