The cybersecurity landscape is witnessing the resurgence of Qakbot malware, with new phishing campaigns specifically targeting the hospitality industry, as reported by Security Affairs. This development comes months after a takedown by the FBI, suggesting that the threat actors behind Qakbot have revived their operations. In parallel, The Hacker News reported a new malvertising campaign distributing a dangerous loader named PikaBot, which is being spread through advertisements that masquerade as legitimate software, such as AnyDesk. Cybersecurity experts have released new detection methods for the ongoing PikaBot campaign, which include behavioral detection of the delivery technique (Plaintext URL -> Archive -> JS) and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) listed in @abuse_ch URLhaus and MalwareBazaar. Meanwhile, darkreading has highlighted fresh sightings of Qakbot, confirming that the recent takedown was only a temporary setback. Additionally, a new cross-platform malware threat named JaskaGO has emerged, targeting both Windows and macOS systems with a variety of powerful commands, as detailed by Security Affairs.
