The small mouse looks at his creation, a cute bird made of cheese, on the kitchen counter. The bird made of cheese is intricately and delicately sculpted with assimilated feathers and wings. It is about the same size as the mouse. The mouse looking at it is a bushy brown rat with big ears, small eyes and nose. He is standing on his hind legs and holding a piece of cheese in his front paws. The background is the kitchen with a sink, a stove, and some utensils.(Create by Bing Image Creator)

Home tests still work to detect Covid19, but here’s why your test may not pick up an infection | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/18/health/covid-19-home-tests-still-work-wellness/index.html ““To date, the performance of currently marketed #COVID19 tests has not been adversely impacted by any new variants,” Merchak said in a statement.” #RAT #RapidAntigen

Most rapid tests, on the other hand, target the #nucleocapsid proteins, or N-protein, of the coronavirus. #Nproteins don’t change as much as spike proteins do.”

As I carried out my twice-weekly surveillance RAT this morning it made me wonder just how many other people are still doing surveillance tests?

I know the reports on effectiveness are a little mixed, but I also have plenty of anecdata of symptom-free household members of positive cases returning positive RAT results, so I figure it costs nothing, and _might_ prevent me inadvertently spreading a potentially lethal disease to anyone else.

So, do you #surveillance #RAT for #COVID?

Boosts welcome

"🎣 Massive Phishing Campaign Targets 40+ Colombian Companies 🇨🇴"

Recent findings from Check Point Research reveal a significant phishing attack aimed at over 40 renowned Colombian companies. The culprits sought to infect victims' systems with the infamous "Remcos" malware, a versatile Remote Access Trojan (RAT) granting attackers full control over compromised devices. This control facilitates various malicious deeds, such as data theft, additional malware installations, and user account hijacking.

Attack's Modus Operandi:
1️⃣ Fraudulent Email: Deceptive emails mimicking trusted entities like banks or Colombian firms, containing urgent messages or offers.
2️⃣ Email Attachment: Attachments in ZIP or RAR formats, purportedly holding vital documents.
3️⃣ Hidden Commands: Obfuscated Batch (BAT) files within the archives, running PowerShell commands to dodge security solutions.
4️⃣ Loading .NET Modules: Commands causing the victim's PC to load two essential components for the attack's subsequent stages.
5️⃣ Final Payload: Remcos RAT loaded into memory, granting attackers full control for malicious activities like unauthorized access, data theft, and remote surveillance.

The intricate technical research by Check Point Research delves into the attack's complexity, emphasizing evasion methods and deobfuscation procedures employed by the adversaries.

“Ag-RDTs are useful tools for rapid identification of individuals with high viral loads in the specimen type tested… the utility of Ag-RDTs for detection of infected and presumably infectious individuals is often justified using several assumptions… in particular that viral loads in all specimen types from an individual at a given time point are similar. Our study demonstrates that this assumption is not justified.”

A few months ago I posted about a DNS malware C2 we had discovered— Decoy Dog — that was based on Pupy, had been undetected for over a year, and had some inexplicable behavior. We hoped the community would easily find the infected devices based on the info we provided. No suck luck. Since then we have used DNS to learn and an astonishing amount about the operations. Once we realized Decoy Dog was more advanced than Pupy, and we saw how the actors responded to our original relesases, we went back to the binaries. Today we released an indepth technical analysis of Decoy Dog, a Pupy research data set, and a new Yara rule. This is the exec summary. Link to the full technical paper and other tidbits in the comments. #dns #theatintel #malware #decoydog #rat #c2 #infoblox #datascience #threatresearch https://blogs.infoblox.com/cyber-threat-intelligence/decoy-dog-is-no-ordinary-pupy-distinguishing-malware-via-dns/

Im bored at work so here is another Mopar the #rat #pet story. She liked to ride around in my bra, freaking people out as my boobs moved strangely and then her head would poke out suddenly. Heylarious. Im in line at the store and this lady has never held a rat and wants to hold her.
Sure.

Mopar is in her flat hand when she suddenly realizes she is not with Mom and she freaks and runs for safety; up this lady's arm and down her blouse. Lady no happy. She begins screaming. I dive my arm down her blouse to retrieve my rat and now I have a HUGE audience but all they see is this woman screaming and my arm down her blouse. And then TA DAH I pull a rat out of her shirt. Apparently I am some kind of roving sadistic store magician.

Management asked I never return to the store. Damn I was gonna bring a hat and take tips next time!

Sophos X-Ops

Hey everybody, it's @threatresearch taking control of the Sophos X-Ops Mastodon feed with an update about the #research I've been working on for several weeks with my Labs and #MDR colleagues, just published this morning.

In February, a #tax #accounting firm reached out to us about a strange email exchange they had (and the aftermath), and the more we started digging, the more we found.

The big takeaway is that an unknown threat actor group appears to have been targeting the kinds of small- to medium-sized businesses that perform tax preparation services in the United States with a social engineering method that kept their activities under the radar...until it delivered #malware to those targets. The campaign seemed to start in late January and has ramped up significantly in the past few weeks. There are thousands of CPA and accounting businesses in the US and this is their busiest time of the year, and they handle a lot of financially sensitive documents.

The delivery method was a type of malware called #GuLoader, and the payload was a commodity #RAT malware called #remcos

A short thread begins here:

https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2023/04/13/tax-firms-targeted-by-precision-malware-attacks/

Now this is cool. #RAT analysis for nerds

tl;dr 5 day isolation is 🤣

- take daily photos in even light of RAT results
- import photo into image processor (GIMP, etc)
- split to RGB channels
- invert green channel
- subtract background value from test & control line values
- divide test line by control line
- plot your infectiousness curve by day!

How can we trust the test results given the evasiveness of #kraken?

Maybe we can’t completely, but the fact that he took #RAT on days 0 to 6, waited until 6+ days had gone by, THEN got his #PCR and #NAAT samples taken (all negative) seems good.

  • Has #Rat SaloonDoors & bells
  • Rats rapidly learn to avoid uncued locked doors
  • Rats do flexible detours (most of the time) -> #CognitiveMap use?
  • #PlaceCells do not remap to changes in connectivity: spatial, but not topological?
  • They also do not over-represent doors!
  • Place cells can represent space globally (individually and as a population) even when geometry repeats

photo of the 4-room environment composed of 4 wooden boxes with no top, connected by pushable saloon-doors. Each box has an identical, overlapping geometry which has been shown to generate place field repetition in other environments.
example trajectories of rat foraging for coco pops then transitioning to another environment cued by the bell. Rats were shown to often (but not always) use optimal trajectories to the sound-cued box, avoiding the blocked doors.
Example place cell recorded in a sequence of 5 sessions with all doors open or all doors closed one-way. This manipulation did not visibly change the firing of the cells and this was confirmed analytically over the population of cells: there were no detectable effects of changing the connectivity of the environment on the place cell firing.
Plots showing the extend of place fields through doors, before and after closing them (both ways). Closing the doors did not have any significant effect on field extent.
