Alright. So apparently running the world's most prolific state-sponsored hacking operation for two decades wasn't ambitious enough. North Korea's Lazarus Group—the same crew responsible for the Bangladesh Central Bank heist, WannaCry, the Sony hack, and approximately $3 billion in stolen crypto—has now decided to franchise. They're renting ransomware. Specifically Medusa ransomware. And their new preferred … Continue reading Lazarus Goes RaaS: North Korea’s Hackers Now Renting Medusa to Hit U.S. Hospitals

~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

Here's a question. When did you last verify—not assume, actually verify—that Chrome updated on your endpoints? Not "I clicked Later three days ago and it probably sorted itself out." Not "auto-update is enabled so it should be fine." Actually opened a browser, typed chrome://settings/help, and confirmed the version number against the patched release. If you … Continue reading CVE-2026-2441: Chrome Is Eating Your Credentials — Patch It Right Now

You know what's fun? Being a patient in Mississippi who needs a follow-up appointment for your diabetes management, or your kid's respiratory infection, or your cancer monitoring visit.

~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

A threat intelligence firm left a 400GB cache of credentials and customer data in an open AWS bucket. Let me repeat that: the threat hunters got hunted because of a cloud security 101 failure.
This isn't just ironic; it's a perfect case study in why your fancy security vendors might be your weakest link. I'll break down exactly how this colossal fuck-up happened and what you need to do to make sure you—and the companies you trust—aren't next.

Fortinet SSL VPN Gets Hammered—780 Unique IPs Join the Brute-Force Pileup
~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

Fortinet SSL VPN devices just got hammered by a coordinated brute-force assault involving 780 unique IP addresses. This wasn't random scanning—it was focused, deliberate, and strategic. Attackers are specifically targeting VPN endpoints because they know that's the easiest path into internal networks. If you're running Fortinet SSL VPN with weak passwords and no multi-factor authentication, assume you're already compromised.

Booking.com Gets Phished (Again)—Because Hotel Managers Still Click Malicious Links
~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

A phishing campaign targeting Booking.com partners has been running since April 2025, and it's so profitable that attackers are selling access to compromised accounts on Russian forums. They've stolen guest payment data, orchestrated elaborate social engineering schemes, and—get this—some victims paid twice: once to the hotel, once to the crooks. The hospitality industry is now a target-rich environment for cybercriminals.

Clop’s Oracle EBS Rampage—Another Day, Another Zero-Day, Another Round of Corporate Humiliation

Clop’s Oracle EBS Rampage—Another Day, Another Zero-Day, Another Round of Corporate Humiliation
~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

Clop's been quietly exploiting an Oracle E-Business Suite zero-day since August—before the vendor even knew about it. Canon, Broadcom, Dartmouth College, and dozens of others got hit. But here's the thing: Clop's not encrypting anymore. They're just stealing data, then sending extortion emails with proof. Two-month window of unrestricted access, and companies are still discovering compromises. This is the new ransomware playbook.

~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

OnSolve's CodeRED emergency alert system just got ransomed. Emergency agencies across the US suddenly couldn't contact residents during emergencies. The INC Ransom gang breached the system, stole customer data including plain-text passwords, and when they didn't get paid, leaked everything online. Crisis24's response? Rebuild from an eight-month-old backup. This is what happens when critical infrastructure treats security as optional.

The Shai Hulud 2.0 Nightmare—When Your Supply Chain Becomes a Credential Harvesting Farm
~ larshilse ~ Leave a comment

Shai Hulud 2.0 just turned the npm ecosystem into a credential harvesting farm. Nearly 1,200 organizations got compromised—and many don't even know it yet. The attack wasn't just stealing data; it was extracting full runtime environments containing live GitHub tokens, AWS keys, and blockchain production credentials. Three days after disclosure, some of those stolen credentials were still valid. This is what modern supply chain warfare looks like.

North Korea's Lazarus Group just walked away with $36.9 million from Upbit—and it wasn't even close to their first rodeo. This time they deployed supply chain compromises and social engineering to hit South Korea's largest crypto exchange. The worrying part? It mirrors attacks we saw in 2017. Some adversaries don't evolve; they optimize. Read the full breakdown on how state-sponsored actors continue playing for keeps in the crypto space.
