Oh, For Fucking Christ’s Sake…

Right, listen up. Apparently, some “researchers” at VirusTotal – yeah, those guys – found 44 SVG files floating around that your pathetic antivirus software completely missed. Forty-four! They’re using Base64 encoding to hide phishing pages inside these bloody image files. Like it’s a new trick or something. It’s not rocket science, people.

These aren’t some sophisticated zero-days; they’re just cleverly obfuscated SVG files designed to bypass basic detection. They’re targeting credential harvesting – stealing your usernames and passwords because you can’t tell the difference between a legitimate login page and something that looks like it was made in MS Paint. The campaign seems focused on stealing credentials from Microsoft, Google, and other common services. Shocking.

They used a bunch of different delivery methods – compromised websites, email attachments, you name it. The point is, if you’re relying solely on your antivirus to protect you, you’re already screwed. And the fact that these slipped past so many engines? Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

They’ve released IOCs (Indicators of Compromise) because apparently *someone* has to clean up after everyone else’s mess. Go look at them if you care, I don’t. Just update your damn security tools and learn to be suspicious. Seriously, think before you click.

You know, back in ’98 I had a user who clicked on an email promising free internet access. *Free internet access*. I spent three days rebuilding his machine and explaining why he shouldn’t trust anything with more than two words. Some things never change. People are just… unbelievably stupid.
