New ‘Bad Magic’ Cyber Threat Disrupt Ukraine’s Key Sectors Amid War Full Text
Abstract
Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, government, agriculture, and transportation organizations located in Donetsk, Lugansk, and Crimea have been attacked as part of an active campaign that drops a previously unseen, modular framework dubbed CommonMagic . "Although the initial vector of compromise is unclear, the details of the next stage imply the use of spear phishing or similar methods," Kaspersky said in a new report. The Russian cybersecurity company, which detected the attacks in October 2022, is tracking the activity cluster under the name "Bad Magic." Attack chains entail the use of booby-trapped URLS pointing to a ZIP archive hosted on a malicious web server. The file, when opened, contains a decoy document and a malicious LNK file that culminates in the deployment of a backdoor named PowerMagic. Written in PowerShell, PowerMagic establishes contact with a remote server and executes arbitrary commands, the results of which are exfiltraThe Hacker News

Massive DDoS Attack Knocked Israeli Government Websites Offline Full Text
Abstract
A number of websites belonging to the Israeli government were felled in a distributed denial-of-service ( DDoS ) attack on Monday, rendering the portals inaccessible for a short period of time. "In the past few hours, a DDoS attack against a communications provider was identified," the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) said in a tweet. "As a result, access to several websites, among them government websites, was denied for a short time. As of now, all of the websites have returned to normal activity." A distributed denial-of-service attack is a malicious attempt to hamper the normal traffic of a targeted server or service by overwhelming the victim and its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of junk internet traffic by leveraging compromised computers and IoT devices as sources of attack traffic. The development comes after internet watchdog NetBlocks reported "significant disruptions" registered on multiple networks supplied by Israel&The Hacker News
