OTX BotChasing the Silver Fox: Cat & Mouse in Kernel Shadows
Check Point Research uncovered an ongoing campaign by the Silver Fox APT group exploiting a previously unknown vulnerable driver to evade endpoint protection. The attackers used a Microsoft-signed WatchDog Antimalware driver to terminate protected processes on fully updated Windows systems. A dual-driver strategy ensured compatibility across Windows versions. Following disclosure, the vendor released a patched driver, but attackers quickly adapted by modifying it to bypass blocklists while preserving its valid signature. The campaign delivered ValleyRAT as the final payload, demonstrating sophisticated evasion techniques and highlighting the growing trend of weaponizing signed-but-vulnerable drivers to bypass security measures.

The Resurgence of IoT Malware: Inside the Mirai-Based "Gayfemboy" Botnet Campaign
FortiGuard Labs has been tracking a stealthy malware strain called "Gayfemboy" that exploits vulnerabilities in DrayTek, TP-Link, Raisecom, and Cisco products. The malware, based on Mirai, has evolved in form and behavior, targeting multiple countries and sectors. Gayfemboy employs obfuscation techniques, anti-analysis measures, and multiple functions including Monitor, Watchdog, Attacker, and Killer. It uses public DNS servers to bypass filtering and establishes communication with C2 servers through predefined domains. The malware can execute various commands, launch DDoS attacks, and maintain persistence. This evolution highlights the increasing sophistication of modern malware and the need for proactive defense strategies.

Just months after ICIJ’s China Targets investigation, the country has confirmed that countering foreign influence is an “utmost priority” for the government.

Jan EkholmIt was absolutely trivial to get systemd's watchdog to handle my FastAPI server. I didn't know about these facilities, otherwise I'd have enabled it years ago. The "systemd-watchdog" package for Python takes care of all the details as long as I simply ping() it often enough.

NonilexBut by a 2-to-1 vote, the appeals court panel ruled that under the #Impoundment Control Act of 1974, only the Government Accountability Office [#USGAO], which serves as #Congress's independent #watchdog, could challenge #Trump’s efforts to withhold #ForeignAid funding. The panel found that groups that receive government #funding — in this instance, a number of #global #health nonprofits — do not have cause to challenge Trump’s funding cuts.
Deepak Kumar VasudevanIs the #SupremeCourtOfIndia still the #WatchDog of the Constitution, or just a #KangarooCourt run by collegium cartels and procedural acrobatics? When empathy is dismissed and justice feels outsourced, who guards the guardians?
