Learn how they operate:
Operating since last May, an emerging ransomware strain called Rhysida was deployed along with new stealer malware called Lumar for a potent new one-two punch against Brazilâs popular PIX payment system users.
Researchers from Kaspersky reported Rhysida is functioning as a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation with a demonstrated ability to quickly evolve.
â It stands out for its unique self-deletion mechanism and compatibility with pre-Windows 10 versions of Microsoft. Written in C++ and compiled with MinGW and shared libraries, Rhysida showcases sophistication in its design,â Kaspersky said in its findings about the group. âWhile relatively new, Rhysida faced initial configuration challenges with its onion server, revealing a groupâs rapid adaptation and learning curve.â

Knowing how to dispose of a printer could mean the difference between protecting personal data and letting it fall into the wrong hands.
A threat actor who claimed responsibility for the compromise of the 23AndMe site earlier this month has released a new dataset, including the records of more than 4 million peopleâs genetic ancestry.
The cybercriminal, known by the handle Golem, alleges in a cybercrime Dark Web forum the stolen data includes information on, âthe wealthiest people living in the US and Western Europe,â according to reports.
23andMe spokesperson Andy Kill said in a statement the organization is still trying to confirm whether the most recently leaked data is genuine.
If you wanted to, you could access an âevilâ version of OpenAIâs ChatGPT todayâthough itâs going to cost you. It also might not necessarily be legal depending on where you live.
However, getting access is a bit tricky. Youâll have to find the right web forums with the right users. One of those users might have a post marketing a private and powerful large language model (LLM). Youâll connect with them on an encrypted messaging service like Telegram where theyâll ask you for a few hundred dollars in cryptocurrency in exchange for the LLM.
Once you have access to it, though, youâll be able to use it for all the things that ChatGPT or Googleâs Bard prohibits you from doing: have conversations about any illicit or ethically dubious topic under the sun, learn how to cook meth or create pipe bombs, or even use it to fuel a cybercriminal enterprise by way of phishing schemes.
