Cyber criminals are exploiting online platforms and services to launch sophisticated attacks, according to a report from HP. Using online advertising tools, they spread malware and hack into computers. Additionally, Google's Cloud Run service has been identified as a platform for large-scale email phishing attacks, distributing banking trojans such as Astaroth, Mekotio, and Ousaban. Over 8,000 subdomains of recognized brands and organizations have been hijacked for malicious email distribution, bypassing common email security measures like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC with a technique dubbed 'ResurrecAds'. Researchers have detailed a spam campaign that utilizes hijacked abandoned domains and subdomains from reputable brands like eBay and VMware, managing to send approximately 5 million malicious emails daily. An operation manipulating more than 8,000 subdomains affiliated with major brands was reported by @GuardioSecurity to dispatch vast quantities of spam and malicious emails, effectively evading most common security controls.
