Cybersecurity researchers have unearthed a new ongoing Magecart-style web skimmer campaign that's designed to steal personally identifiable information and credit card data from e-commerce websites. "Attackers employ a number of evasion techniques during the campaign, including obfuscating [using] Base64 and masking the attack to resemble popular third-party services, such as Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager," Akamai security researcher Roman Lvovsky said.
Google has removed from the Chrome Web Store 32 malicious extensions that could alter search results and push spam or unwanted ads. Cybersecurity researcher Wladimir Palant analyzed the PDF Toolbox extension available from Chrome Web Store and found that it included code that was disguised as a legitimate extension API wrapper.
The threat actors behind RomCom RAT are leveraging a network of fake websites advertising rogue versions of popular software at least since July 2022 to infiltrate targets.

Call it BEC 3.0 - phishing attacks that bury the hook in legitimate web services like Dropbox. SEE: Another hide-the-malware attack focuses on DNS. "Leveraging legitimate websites to host malicious content is a surefire way to get into the inbox," he said.
Researchers have developed DarkBERT, a language model pretrained on dark web data, to help cybersecurity pros extract cyber threat intelligence from the Internet's virtual underbelly. A team of researchers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and data intelligence company S2W has decided to test whether a custom-trained language model could be useful, so they came up with DarkBERT, which is pretrained on dark web data.
Google will add artificial intelligence to several online safety features and give users more insight into whether their information might have been posted on the dark web, the tech giant announced during the Google I/O conference on May 10.
