Hervorragende Nachrichten für alle #Malware-Hersteller und böse #Hacker: wenn die #KI schreibenden Zugriff auf solche Dinge erhält, muss man nicht mehr die mittlerweile besser geschulten Menschen für einen erfolgreichen #Angriff überlisten, es reicht, wenn man die nach wie vor sehr naïve KI übertölpelt. 🤣

Ab sofort werden #Ransomware, #Phishing, #Firmenspionage, #Datenstehlen potenziell zum Massensport! 👍

Mashable: Hackers found a way around Microsoft Defender to install ransomware on PCs, report says. “Windows users should think about reinforcing their antivirus software. And while Microsoft Defender should provide a line of defense against ransomware, a new report claims that hackers have found a way to get around the ransomware tool to infect PCs with ransomware.”

WinRAR vulnerability exploited in malware campaigns

WinRAR patched a vulnerability (CVE-2025-8088) that was actively exploited by Russian-linked cybercriminals through phishing emails containing malicious RAR attachments. The flaw allows attackers to achieve remote code execution by writing files to arbitrary system locations including Windows Startup folders. All WinRAR versions prior to 7.13 are affected.

**If you use WinRAR, update it to version 7.13 or later from the official WinRAR, because hackers are sending malicious archive attachments and if you open them you are hacked. Also, be very careful with any RAR file attachments in emails, especially unexpected ones.**
