    News Cyber Security News8h ago4 sources

  6. Hackers Use Popular Messaging Services to Control New Windows Backdoors

    News Cyber Security News4 Sep3 sources

    A financially motivated threat group known as Toy Ghouls has begun using two custom Windows backdoors that communicate through popular messaging and broker services. The tools give attackers a discreet way to run commands, collect system details, and maintain control over compromised devices. The campaign marks a change for the group, which had previously relied heavily on public tools and leaked ransomware builders. Its move to custom malware suggests a broader effort to stay inside victim networks longer while making activity harder for security teams to spot. Analysts at Securelist…

    Threat Intel Malwarebytes Labs3 Sep2 sources

    First, the good news: If you use a Linux-based operating system, you may not be asked your age in a few months. The bad news is that Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android users in California will be. California has passed a law that requires a range of operating systems to start collecting your age when you first set them up. Under the state’s Digital Age Assurance Act (DAAA), signed into law in October 2025, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android will all have to do this from January 1, 2027. Operating systems set up before that date in California will need to do the same by July 1, 2027. Operating…
