Seriously?! More Malware Bullshit

Right, listen up. Apparently, some chuckleheads are still falling for the “Infocon” scam. Green Infocon, specifically. It’s a phishing campaign – shocker, I know – using fake job postings to deliver malware. Like people *still* click on random shit? Honestly.

They’re targeting folks with LinkedIn profiles, pretending to be recruiters. The emails lead to websites that look legit enough for the truly gullible, then BAM! Payload delivered. Mostly looks like initial access stuff, reconnaissance and data theft. Standard crap, really. The indicators of compromise (IOCs) are listed if you’re bothered to actually *do* something about it instead of whining.

And get this: they’re using a bunch of different domains, trying to evade detection. Clever? No. Annoying? Absolutely. It just means more work for everyone else because some people have the critical thinking skills of a goldfish. They’ve even got a fake Telegram account setup. Jesus Christ.

The SANS folks are saying it’s been going on for a while, and they’re urging people to be careful about unsolicited job offers. You know what? Maybe *don’t* click links from strangers! It’s not rocket science. I swear, I deal with this garbage all day.

Basically, it’s the same old song and dance: Phishing -> Malware -> Profit for the assholes doing this. Stay vigilant, use your brain (if you have one), and don’t be a goddamn idiot.

Speaking of idiots, I once had to clean up a system where someone downloaded a “free ringtone” from a website that looked like it was made in 1998. The machine was so infected it practically begged for mercy. Took me three days and a whole lot of caffeine to fix. Three. Days. Don’t be *that* person.
