This new phishing campaign can tailor its messages to target you with your favorite businesses
- Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new phishing technique that deploys DNS Mail exchange (MX) records to serve phishing emails that closely resemble legitimate messages.
- The Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) kit, called Morphing Meerkat, is capable of spoofing more than 100 different brands, making it a potent offering for cybercriminals.
- The phishing kit dynamically serves fake login pages based on the victim's email domain, leading to a more natural and consistent phishing experience.
- To protect against this phishing technique, organizations are advised to implement a strong layer of DNS security, including DNS controls and restrictions on communication with Domain over HTTPS (DoH) servers.

Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design
- A fan, Frank Miller, was banned for life from Madison Square Garden and its properties over a T-shirt incident from 2021 he claims he wasn't involved in.
- The ban notice was handed to Miller at Radio City Music Hall, part of MSG, before a concert.
- Miller suspects he was identified through facial recognition technology used by MSG.
- The incident may have involved a T-shirt design relating to a controversy with 1990s Knicks star Charles Oakley and MSG CEO James Dolan.
- Despite not wearing a controversial shirt at the event, Miller was informed of his ban at Radio City.
- Miller, a graphic designer based in Seattle, had not purchased tickets himself for MSG events prior to this incident.
- Even though he could appeal the ban, Miller deemed it not a priority for him.
- The experience has prompted Miller to raise awareness about unexpected denials based on collected data and surveillance.
- Others have faced similar situations, including a New Jersey attorney denied entry at Radio City due to being on an attorney exclusion list.
- Miller emphasizes the need to be conscious of surveillance practices and how they can impact access to events and venues.

CoffeeLoader Detection: A New Sophisticated Malware Family Spread via SmokeLoader
- CoffeeLoader is a new sophisticated malware that evades security protection by using advanced evasion techniques and Red Team methods spread via SmokeLoader.
- With over 1 billion malware strains circulating and 300 new malware pieces daily, early detection of emerging threats is crucial.
- SOC Prime Platform offers detection algorithms against CoffeeLoader attacks, compatible with various security solutions and mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Security professionals can hunt for IOCs using Zscaler research and Uncoder AI to transform IOCs into custom queries for SIEM or EDR platforms.
- CoffeeLoader, discovered in September 2024, is designed to download and execute secondary payloads stealthily using unique GPU-based packing techniques.
- The malware samples are packed, with CoffeeLoader mimicking ASUS's legitimate Armoury Crate utility using a packer called Armoury.
- CoffeeLoader establishes persistence via Windows Task Scheduler and uses varied evasion tactics like call stack spoofing, sleep obfuscation, and Windows fibers.
- It employs HTTPS for C2 communication, domain generation algorithms, and certificate pinning if primary C2 channels fail.
- CoffeeLoader, spread through SmokeLoader, shares similarities with it in behaviors like scheduled tasks for persistence and utilizing low-level Windows APIs.
- While a new SmokeLoader version shares some evasion features with CoffeeLoader, the relation between the two remains unclear.
