Researchers have uncovered a new worm targeting Linux based x86 servers, as well as Linux internet of things devices. Of note, the malware utilizes GitHub and Pastebin for housing malicious component code, and has at least 12 different attack modules available - leading researchers to call it "Gitpaste-12." It was first detected by Juniper Threat Labs in attacks on Oct. 15, 2020.
AppViewX has recognized and responded to wide-spread customer demand for full lifecycle management of symmetric data encryption keys, by adding Cryptsoft's KMIP Server to their platform. Cryptsoft's market proven KMIP server and KMIP client technology has been licensed by AppViewX to provide the technical foundation for their platform's key management capability.
Threat actors are actively exploiting Oracle WebLogic servers unpatched against CVE-2020-14882 to deploy Cobalt Strike beacons which allow for persistent remote access to compromised devices. Cobalt Strike is a legitimate penetration testing tool also used by threat actors in post-exploitation tasks and to deploy so-called beacons that enable them to gain persistent remote access.
According to findings published by Check Point Research, the threat actors - believed to be located in the Palestinian Gaza Strip - have targeted Sangoma PBX, an open-sourced user interface that's used to manage and control Asterisk VoIP phone systems, particularly the Session Initiation Protocol servers. "One of the more complex and interesting ways is abusing the servers to make outgoing phone calls, which are also used to generate profits. Making calls is a legitimate feature, therefore it's hard to detect when a server has been exploited."
The security alert addresses CVE-2020-14750, a remote code execution vulnerability in Oracle WebLogic Server. "This vulnerability is related to CVE-2020-14882, which was addressed in the October 2020 Critical Patch Update. It is remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e. may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password," Oracle said in a security alert.
While specific details of the flaw were not disclosed, Oracle's alert said it exists in the Console of the Oracle WebLogic Server and can be exploited via the HTTP network protocol.

Hackers breach psychotherapy center, use stolen health data to blackmail patientsNews of an unusual data breach at a psychotherapy center in Finland broke over the weekend, after affected patients began receiving emails telling them to pay up or risk their personal and health data being publicly released.
NVIDIA released a patch for a critical bug in its high-performance line of DGX servers that could open the door for a remote attacker to take control of and access sensitive data on systems typically operated by governments and Fortune-100 companies. During the session Gordeychik demonstrated how NVIDIA DGX GPU servers used in machine learning frameworks, data processing pipelines and applications such as medical imaging and face recognition powered CCTV - could be tampered with by an adversary.
