Derzeit ist wieder ein #USB Wurm im Umlauf diesmal mit dem Namen #LitterDrifter. Ich finde es spannend das dies immer noch ein Ausbreitungsvector ist und Sinn macht der eigentlich nur noch für #OT Systeme wie Kraftwerke da diese hoffentlich meist gut von anderen Netzen getrennt sind. Vielleicht unterschätze ich aber auch die Nutzung von USB im privaten Bereich 🤷 - via Bruce Schneier - https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2023/11/litterdrifter-usb-worm.html #securiy #trojaner #malware

Flash drive sharing #malware escapes Україна. #Gamaredon fingered as perps.

A worm spread by sharing #USB drives is breaking free, outside of its primary target. An #APT group tied to the Russian #FSB is said to be responsible—apparently it’s part of #Putin’s #cyberwar against #Ukraine.

#LitterDrifter is at least easily detected and blocked. In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we give thanks for small mercies.
