Nastiest Malware 2022Nastiest Malware

With 2023 around the corner, we’ve seen yet another eventful year for the threat landscape and malware continues to be center stage in the threats posed towards individuals, businesses, and governments. The infosec industry continues the struggle of the perpetual cat and mouse game tactics that haven’t really stopped since cybercriminals first started decades ago. This absolutely accelerated into overdrive the past 9 years with the mainstream adoption of ransomware payloads and cryptocurrency facilitating payments.If you’ve seen our writeup of Blackhat 2022, the keynote speakers noted that in 25 years of doing hacking conferences, we still don’t have a handle on what’s going on, and the surface area of attack is only growing so we all expect it to get worse.The ransomware double extortion tactic continues to be a match made in heaven for criminals and absolute hell for victims. Every major ransomware campaign has been utilizing a Tor leak site for data exfiltrated with the intention of

Glut of Fake LinkedIn Profiles Pits HR Against the Bots

October 5, 2022 By Brian Krebs A recent proliferation of phony executive profiles on LinkedIn is creating something of an identity crisis for the business networking site, and for companies that rely on it to hire and screen prospective employees. The fabricated LinkedIn identities — which pair AI-generated profile photos with text lifted from legitimate accounts — are creating major headaches for corporate HR departments and for those managing invite-only LinkedIn groups.Some of the fake profiles flagged by the co-administrator of a popular sustainability group on LinkedIn.Last week, KrebsOnSecurity examined a flood of inauthentic LinkedIn profiles all claiming Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) roles at various Fortune 500 companies, including Biogen, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Hewlett Packard. >> Full Article <<

Webroot® Security Awareness Training

Webroot SAT question

Hi all, wondering if an ‘open’ in SAT is an actual open if the client is using Outlook’s preview pane. Research shows some say yes, some say only if images are allowed, some say no, one says to ignore it because only clicked links should count. But specifically within Webroot’s Security Awareness Training, if a client is using Outlook, does ‘open’ in a campaign include people who see it in preview pane only? ThanksFranco

Removal of Web Threat Shield from Edge

I’ve tried again and again to remove the Web Threat Shield after uninstalling Webroot. I cannot get the extenion to shut off or uninstall. I cannot even delete the files as they are locked by the system. This is my home computer, and I can’t remove this! How can you make software that is this invasive that I can’t remove it?!

Webroot popup

Lately, at random times the Webroot banner pops up in the lower right corner. It’s the same one that shows when the program first loads. Is this due to an update or is something amiss. Curious. TIA

Webroot® Consumer/Business - for Macs

Carbonite Keeps Asking for Full Disk Access

I am running Carbonite Safe CE 22.3 on a MacBook Pro M1 Max, running macOS Monterey Version 12.4 (21F79). About once a week, I am asked to grant it Full Disk Access permission. Except that it already has it. I see that Webroot Secure Anywhere went through this about two years ago in other threads. But I do not see a solution. Any ideas? Just to prove the point, here is a screen shot:

Removing devices from security display and protected count.

I show several more computers than I have currently running, on the ‘Security’/protected display. I want them gone, not just hidden. These have either been deactivated or parted out. How can I accomplish that from Webroot Secure Anywhere??

Webroot® Business Endpoint Protection

Yeeei: Wingate Update Webroot! Noooo: it have glitch! xD

Loving to use Winget (sorry, no Wingate) for all software installed upgrade, I found for my surprise that it detected Webroot installed under Webroot SecureAnywhere (Installed Webroot Endpoint Protection v9.0.32.60)And it says (as you can see) ‘Successfully Installed’, but Webroot Console online says nothing change. Soo… I don’t know what’s going on.Hope they fix it in the near future, since there is no easy way from WEBROOT to update antivirus, not even force to update, not even in the console.. the only antivirus at any level (personal or enterprise edition) that I know for decades that doesn’t help you to update their product in any easy way. Go figure.
