Infinity Stealer Targets macOS Using ClickFix Trick and Python-Based Malware A newly identified information-stealing malware, dubbed Infinity Stealer, is targeting macOS users through a sophisticated attack chain that blends social engineering with advanced evasion techniques. Security researchers at Malwarebytes report that this is the first known campaign combining the ClickFix technique with a Python-based payload compiled using the Nuitka compiler. The attack begins with a deceptive prompt designed to resemble a legitimate human verification step from Cloudflare. Victims are presented with a fake CAPTCHA and instructed to paste a command into the macOS Terminal to complete the verification. This method, known as ClickFix, tricks users into bypassing built-in operating system protections by executing malicious commands themselves. Once the command is executed, it decodes a hidden script that downloads and launches the next stage of the malware. The payload is compiled into a native macOS binary using Nuitka, which converts Python code into C-based executables. This approach makes the malware significantly harder to detect and analyze compared to traditional Python-based threats that rely on bytecode packaging tools. The infection chain unfolds in multiple stages. After the initial script runs, it installs a loader that extracts the final malware payload. Before initiating its malicious activities, the malware performs checks to determine whether it is running in a virtual or sandboxed environment, helping it evade detection by security tools. Once active, Infinity Stealer begins harvesting sensitive information from the infected system. This includes login credentials stored in Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, entries from the macOS Keychain, cryptocurrency wallet data, and plaintext secrets found in developer files such as .env configurations. It can also capture screenshots, adding another layer of data collection. The stolen information is then transmitted to attacker-controlled servers via HTTP requests. Additionally, notifications are sent through Telegram to alert threat actors when data exfiltration is complete, enabling real-time monitoring of compromised systems. Researchers warn that this campaign highlights the growing sophistication of threats targeting macOS, a platform often perceived as more secure. The use of social engineering combined with advanced compilation techniques demonstrates how attackers are evolving their methods to bypass traditional defenses. Users are strongly advised to avoid executing unknown commands in Terminal, especially those obtained from untrusted sources, as such actions can directly compromise system security.

Threat Actors Exploit GitHub as C2 in Multi-Stage Attacks Attacking Organizations in South Korea GitHub attacked by state-sponsored hackers Cyber criminals possibly linked with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) have been found using GitHub as a C2 infrastructure in multi-stage campaigns attacking organizations in South Korea. The operation chain involves hidden Windows shortcut (LNK) files that work as a beginning point to deploy a fake PDF document and a PowerShell script that triggers another attack. Experts believe that these LNK files are circulated through phishing emails. Payload execution Once the payloads are downloaded, the victim is shown as the PDF document, while the harmful PowerShell script operates covertly in the background. The PowerShell script does checks to avoid analysis by looking for running processes associated with machines, forensic tools, and debuggers. Successful exploit scenario If successful, it retrieves a Visual Basic Script (VBScript) and builds persistence through a scheduled task that activates the PowerShell payload every 30 minutes in a covert window to escape security. This allows the PowerShell script to deploy automatically after every system reboot. “Unlike previous attack chains that progressed from LNK-dropped BAT scripts to shellcode, this case confirms the use of newly developed dropper and downloader malware to deliver shellcode and the ROKRAT payload,” S2W reported. The PowerShell script then classifies the attacked host, saves the response to a log file, and extracts it to a GitHub repository made under the account “motoralis” via a hard-coded access token. Few of the GitHub accounts made as part of the campaign consist of “Pigresy80,” "pandora0009”, “brandonleeodd93-blip” and “God0808RAMA.” After this, the script parses a particular file in the same GitHub repository to get more instructions or modules, therefore letting the threat actor to exploit the trust built with a platform such as GitHub to gain trust and build persistence over the compromised host. Campaign history According to Fortnet, LNK files were used in previous campaign iterations to propagate malware families such as Xeno RAT. Notably, last year, ENKI and Trellix demonstrated the usage of GitHub C2 to distribute Xeno RAT and its version MoonPeak. Kimsuky, a North Korean state-sponsored organization, was blamed for these assaults. Instead of depending on complex custom malware, the threat actor uses native Windows tools for deployment, evasion, and persistence. By minimizing the use of dropped PE files and leveraging LolBins, the attacker can target a broad audience with a low detection rate,” said researcher Cara Lin.

Armenian Suspect Extradited to US Over Role in RedLine Malware Operation A man from Armenia now faces trial in the U.S., accused of helping run a major cybercriminal network recently uncovered. On March 23, authorities took Hambardzum Minasyan into custody; later that week, he stood before judges in Austin. Officials there detailed how he supposedly aided the RedLine scheme behind the scenes. Minasyan faces accusations tied to overseeing parts of a malicious software network, say U.S. justice officials. Hosting setups involving virtual servers - central to directing attacks - are part of what he allegedly handled. Domain registrations connected to RedLine operations were reportedly arranged by him. File-sharing platforms built under his direction may have helped spread the program to users. Control mechanisms behind these actions remain outlined in official claims. After deployment, RedLine grabs private details like banking records and passwords from compromised devices. This stolen data often ends up traded or misused by online criminals. One key figure, Minasyan, allegedly helped manage core infrastructure alongside others involved. Control dashboards used by partners in the scheme were reportedly maintained through their efforts. Besides handling infrastructure tasks, Minasyan faces claims he helped run money flows for the network. A digital currency wallet tied to him supposedly managed transactions among members and moved profits from compromised information. Officials report that the team continuously assisted people deploying the malicious software, guiding attack methods while boosting earnings. Facing several accusations today, Minasyan is charged with using unauthorized access devices, breaking rules under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, along with plotting ways to launder money. A guilty verdict might lead to a maximum penalty of three decades behind bars. A wave of global actions has tightened pressure on RedLine operations. Early in 2024, teams from several countries joined forces - among them officers from the Dutch National Police - to strike key systems powering the malware network. This push formed what officials later called Operation Magnus, a synchronized disruption targeting how the service operated. Instead of selling outright, its creators let hackers lease access; investigators focused sharply on this rental setup during their work. A federal indictment names Maxim Alexandrovich Rudometov, a citizen of Russia, as central to creating the malicious software. Should he be found guilty, extended penalties may apply due to further allegations tied to his role. A closer look reveals persistent attempts worldwide to weaken structured hacking groups while targeting central figures for responsibility. Despite challenges, momentum builds as actions cross borders to undermine digital criminal systems.

Port of Vigo Operations Interrupted by Significant Cyberattack Upon finding its digital backbone compromised by a calculated act of cyber extortion, the Port of Vigo found itself in the midst of the morning rhythms of one of Spain's most strategically located maritime gateways. Early in the morning of Tuesday, March 25, 2026, port authority personnel identified that core servers responsible for orchestrating cargo movement and essential digital services had become inaccessible, with their data encrypted as a result of a ransomware attack which effectively immobilized the infrastructure of critical operations. Despite mounting operational pressure, automated systems gave way to manual coordination, causing a technical disruption that did not end only with a technical disruption. Despite the fact that the attack exhibited the hallmarks of a financially motivated campaign, no threat actor claimed responsibility for the incident, leaving authorities to deal with both immediate logistical implications as well as the broader uncertainty surrounding the incident. Technology teams at the port responded promptly by severing external network connections to contain the intrusion, whereas leadership maintained a cautious stance, emphasizing that restoration efforts would commence only as soon as system integrity had been established beyond doubt, with no definitive timeline for full recovery. In light of this, port leadership has taken a cautious approach to restoring the system, emphasizing the importance of security over speed in the recovery process in the context of restoring the systems. According to President Carlos Botana, digital services will remain offline until exhaustive verification procedures have been completed and the integrity of all affected systems has been conclusively established, and that reconnection will only occur once operational environments are considered secure in a clear manner. The port remains in a contingency-driven, constrained mode due to the absence of a defined recovery timeline. Even though the cyber incident has not affected the physical movement of vessels or cargo through the harbor, it has materially disrupted the orchestration layer underpinning modern port logistics operations. Due to the lack of integration of digital platforms, core activities such as scheduling, documentation, and interagency coordination have been forced into manual processes. In an effort to maintain continuity of trade flows at critical checkpoints such as the Border Inspection Post, port users and operators are switching to paper-based processes. While these temporary measures have prevented a complete operational standstill from occurring, they have created procedural inefficiencies, extended turnaround times, and added additional stress on personnel, illustrating that resilient digital infrastructure is inextricably linked to contemporary maritime operations. In addition to the operational strain, Vigo Port's strategic and economic significance within the global fisheries ecosystem further exacerbates it. The port, located on Spain's northern coastal coastline in Galicia, is one of Europe's leading fishing hubs and ranks among the most prominent in terms of shipments of fresh seafood worldwide. There are hundreds of local fishing enterprises that generate multibillion-euro revenues annually, supporting over thousands of direct jobs as well as a global distribution of fleets operating in the South Atlantic, southern Africa, and the Pacific Oceans. Aside from serving as a landing and processing center, the port also serves as an important distribution point, distributing high volumes of perishable goods to European markets and international destinations. Digital systems disrupt tightly synchronized supply chains, resulting in friction across tightly synchronized supply chains requiring precise timing and real-time data exchange, resulting in a disruption that goes beyond localized inconvenience. Despite the physical availability of vessel traffic and cargo handling infrastructure, the absence of digital coordination layers has fundamentally altered the efficiency of execution. The allocation of berths, customs processing, cargo traceability, and stakeholder communication functions have reverted to manual oversight, which negatively impacts throughput. It is particularly detrimental that the port is specialized in fresh fish, a product whose viability is acutely time-sensitive, since even marginal delays in documentation or clearance can compress market windows, increase spoilage risk, and result in financial loss. These findings highlight the importance of digital orchestration in maintaining both operational continuity and economic value in modern port environments. Despite the apparent stabilization of the immediate threat due to containment measures, port authorities have indicated that system restoration will proceed with deliberate caution rather than urgency. Although teams have not been able to give a timeline for reactivating affected servers, they have emphasized that comprehensive security validations must precede any reconnection to operational networks. It has been confirmed by the port leadership that, although the port's physical infrastructure and core maritime services remain functional, digital platforms will not be accessible until all integrity checks have been successfully completed. Following ransomware incidents throughout the industry, there has been an increase in risk-averse recovery strategies. The rationale behind such prudence is to recognize that premature restoration can inadvertently reintroduce latent threats or expose residual vulnerabilities, compounding the initial compromise by reintroducing latent threats. This incident is a good example of the rapidly evolving threat landscape that critical infrastructure operators must contend with in the digital age. Cyberattacks are increasingly designed to disrupt operational processes in addition to exfiltrating data. The port by its very nature operates at the intersection of physical logistics and digital coordination, making it particularly susceptible to cascading inefficiencies when either layer is compromised. Vigo's continued cargo movement under constrained, manual conditions illustrates both operational resilience and systemic fragility, since digital orchestration significantly reduces throughput efficiency and situational awareness in the absence of digital orchestration. It remains the priority of the investigation to secure the restoration of systems, as well as to fully assess the scope and entry vectors of the breach. As a consequence, the port continues to operate within a limited operational envelope, maintaining trade flows despite lacking the technological infrastructure that normally supports its speed, precision, and global connectivity. With regard to a broader context, the incident at Vigo illustrates the increasing pattern of ransomware attacks targeting maritime and port infrastructure. These sectors are highly operational critical and extremely sensitive to time. A number of similar disruptions have been observed in ports across multiple geographies over the past few years, demonstrating that threat actors are intentionally focusing on environments in which even brief outages can cause disproportionate economic damage. As is evident from the strategic calculus, ports operate on tightly synchronized schedules, where delays cascade rapidly through supply chains, resulting in increased financial consequences of a disruption in throughput, especially in the case of perishable cargo or just-in-time logistics. The inherent pressure created by this dynamic increases the coercive leverage of ransomware demands, which, much like attacks against healthcare systems and municipal infrastructure, increases the coercive leverage of ransomware demands. As far as infrastructure resilience is concerned, the Vigo events reinforce a number of critical imperatives. Even though cargo continues to be transported under constrained conditions, offline fallback mechanisms must be maintained and regularly tested to ensure that they can maintain core functions when no digital systems are available. It is also evident that system isolation demonstrates the importance of robust network segmentation by ensuring intrusions originating within an enterprise IT environment are prevented from propagating into operational technology layers that govern physical processes by achieving rapid containment through system isolation. This initial response highlights the necessity for well-defined and well-rehearsed incident response frameworks that are capable of enabling decisive action in the early stages of compromise when containment remains possible. In addition, the situation reinforces the widely acknowledged risks associated with ransom payments, in which there is no guarantee that full recovery will be achieved or that future exposure will be mitigated, but instead contribute to the persistence of the threat ecosystem. Together, these factors demonstrate that resilience in modern port operations cannot be achieved solely through physical capacity, but is increasingly reliant on the maturity and integration of cybersecurity practices across all operational domains, including security operations. When considered in its entirety, the disruption at the Port of Vigo exemplifies both the immediate operational fragility as well as the broader structural risks inherent in digitally dependent maritime infrastructure. The first ransomware intrusion has evolved into a sustained test of resilience, demonstrating how efficiency, visibility, and coordination in modern port environments are anchored in continuous digital availability, despite the absence of integrated systems. While physical throughput has been maintained, the degradation of orchestration capabilities has resulted in measurable inefficiencies, highlighting that operational continuity is no longer determined solely by mechanical functioning, but rather by the seamless interaction between logistics execution and information systems. Despite this, port authorities have adopted a response posture based on a growing institutional recognition that recovery from cybersecurity incidents must be guided by assurance rather than urgency. The leadership has aligned with a doctrine that is increasingly established in incident response by prioritizing exhaustive validation over rapid reinstatement. This doctrine recognizes the risks associated with latent persistence mechanisms and the risk of reinfection if remediation is incomplete. It is important for infrastructure operators to be aware that this measured stance is taking place in the context of increasing ransomware activity targeting ports and other critical sectors worldwide, in which adversaries exploit the economic sensitivity of time-bound operations to exert pressure and leverage. Consequently, the Vigo incident offers a number of implicit but consequential lessons. Even though this is not an optimal solution, the ability to return to manual processes has demonstrated the value of maintaining functional continuity pathways outside digital systems. Additionally, the effectiveness of early containment highlights the importance of network architecture that limits lateral movement, particularly between enterprise and operational domains. A pre-established and well-rehearsed response framework, which reduces decision latency during critical early phases of compromise, is also highlighted by this incident as an operational dividend. Despite the current constrained operating conditions at the port and the ongoing forensic investigations, the priority remains to restore systems with integrity and determine the extent to which the exposures are present. In a broader sense, the episode is indicative of a shifting reality in which cyber resilience is no longer an additional concern but is becoming a key component of supply chain reliability, economic stability, and trust, as global supply chains become more interconnected.

UNC1069 Uses Social Engineering to Hijack Axios npm Package via Maintainer A sophisticated social engineering operation by UNC1069 has led to the compromise of the widely used Axios npm package, raising serious concerns across the JavaScript ecosystem. The attack targeted a member of the Axios project’s maintainer team by masquerading as a legitimate Apache Software Foundation representative, using forged email domains and a fake Jira‑style ticket management system to drive the victim into installing a malicious version of the Axios GitHub Assistant browser extension. Once installed, the extension granted UNC1069 broad access to the maintainer’s GitHub account, enabling them to introduce a malicious update to the Axios package and push the compromised code to npm. The attack chain highlights how trusted communication channels—such as seemingly official emails and project‑related ticketing systems—can be weaponized to bypass technical safeguards. By impersonating Apache staff and leveraging the perceived legitimacy of the GitHub Assistant tool, the threat actors manipulated the maintainer into unintentionally installing a malicious browser extension. The extension then captured the maintainer’s GitHub cookies and session tokens, which allowed UNC1069 to log in, survey the project, and ultimately publish a malicious version of Axios. This incident underscores that even projects with strong code‑review practices are vulnerable when human‑factor controls and identity‑verification steps are overlooked. Although the malicious Axios package was not directly downloaded more than a handful of times, the episode triggered a sharp spike in removals of older Axios releases from the npm registry. This suggests that many developers likely removed the package from projects preemptively to mitigate potential supply‑chain exposure. The fact that the malicious package was quickly removed after detection indicates that npm’s monitoring and incident‑response mechanisms responded promptly; however, the broader damage lies in the erosion of trust and the disruption to downstream projects that depend on Axios. Maintainers and organizations are now forced to revisit their authentication workflows and rethink how they verify communications from partners or foundation staff. A xios has since published a security update and clarified that the malicious package was an isolated, short‑lived incident in the npm registry. The project’s team has emphasized the importance of using multi‑factor authentication, hardening account security, and limiting third‑party extension access to critical accounts. Security teams are also being advised to audit any browser extensions granted to corporate or critical‑project accounts and to treat unsolicited tools or utilities—especially those tied to “official” infrastructure—as potential red flags. Moving forward, the Axios team is expected to tighten collaboration rules with foundations and external organizations to reduce the risk of similar impersonation‑driven attacks. The UNC1069‑Axios incident serves as a stark reminder that software supply‑chain security is only as strong as its weakest human link. Social engineering continues to be a highly effective vector for attackers, especially when paired with technical infrastructure that appears legitimate. For developers and organizations, this event reinforces the need for layered defenses: robust technical safeguards, strict identity‑verification protocols, and continuous security awareness training. As open‑source projects become increasingly central to modern software stacks, protecting maintainers’ accounts and communication channels must be treated with the same urgency as protecting the code itself.
