    News Cyber Security News20h ago3 sources

It normally stores a user’s private key in the device’s Trusted Platform Module, or TPM, making the key difficult to export or steal. Users unlock access to that key with a PIN, fingerprint, facial recognition, or another local…

  10. Fake PDFs and Chat Apps Let Patchwork Spy on PCs and Android Phones

    News Cyber Security News7 Aug2 sources

    Patchwork, also known as Dropping Elephant, is using fake documents and chat applications to spy on computer and phone users.

On Windows, the operation starts with a shortcut file disguised as a PDF document. Opening it launches a hidden PowerShell downloader, displays a decoy file, and quietly installs malware in the background. The technique resembles other malicious shortcut file campaigns that use familiar documents…
