Researchers Hacked EV Car Chargers To Execute Arbitrary Code

By CyberMrfu3k
EVs face significant cyber risks due to their reliance on interconnected systems and the increasing number of public charging stations, which often lack robust security measures.  Vulnerabilities in EV software and charging infrastructure can expose vehicles to malware, unauthorized access, and potential control by hackers. During Pwn2Own Automotive 2024 in Tokyo, cybersecurity researchers hacked  EV car chargers  to execute arbitrary code. Researchers Hacked EV Car Chargers At the Pwn2Own Automotive 2024 event, researchers exploited three EV chargers:-  Autel MaxiCharger (MAXI US AC W12-L-4G) ChargePoint Home Flex JuiceBox 40 Smart EV Charging Station  They executed arbitrary code via Bluetooth while focusing on the Autel MaxiCharger, and this uncovered the “CVE-2024-23958,” “CVE-2024-23959,” and “CVE-2024-23967”  vulnerabilities . The features of the charger include WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, RFID, LCD touchscreen, RS485, and a USB-C port. Its har...

ILOVEYOU – 20 years ago – to the day!

By CyberMrfu3k
                       I LOVE YOU is always more than just a phrase right? Well, two decades ago on May 4, it made a catastrophe in the form of worm that’s worth remembering


              The E-mail which is received from a friend or acquaintance, with the subject ILOVEYOU contains an attachment LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU, which is the worm script. Out of curiosity the receiver indulge to open the attachment which in turn sends the mail to every one of the person’s address book on behalf of the recipient. The spread rate was exponential (like the corona outbreak -_-) and infected almost 45 million Windows PCs within 4-5 May.


And also it downloads a Trojan which infects the victim and steals the internet login password (at the time, dial-up connections were used) and sends them to an address. The damage it made cost several million dollars!! And Microsoft patched the vulnerability, preventing the VBS scripts being launched by default. Well the reason is by default Windows hides the extension of known file formats and this tricked many as it seems like a text file.

The craziest part is that, Mr. Onel de Guzman the man behind the catastrophe was left unpunished!! He admitted that he did that to steal internet logins, so that he can use free internet :P but the Philippine law was not so strict. Even he didn’t thought that it may cause such a nightmare and it’s no surprise. If the worm was named something else other than ILOVEYOU, then it wouldn’t be such a menace Don’t you think? LoL. That’s a perfectly Social engineered attack happened two decades ago. 


That’s all for today. Comment your thoughts about the worm below. !!

Fog Ransomware

‛Fog’ Ransomware Rolls in to Target many Sectors. A new group of hackers is encrypting data in virtual machines, leaving ransom notes, and calling it a day. A new ransomware operation has been performing old-fashioned ransomware attacks, locking up data in virtual environments to earn quick payouts. Attack Vectors • Fog attacks typically begin with stolen virtual private network (VPN) credentials, an increasingly popular means of initial access into sizable organizations. The group has exploited two different VPN gateway vendors thus far, which Arctic Wolf has declined to name. • In one case, for example, Fog passed the hash to compromise administrator accounts in its target’s network. It then used the accounts to establish a remote desktop protocol (RDP) connection with Windows servers running the Hyper-V hypervisor and Veeam data protection software. • Other common Fog tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) include credential stuffing, using native Windows and open-source tools l...

New PIXHELL Attack Exploits Screen Noise to Exfiltrates Data from Air-Gapped Computers

Security researchers have unveiled new techniques that allow attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data from air-gapped computers, which are systems physically isolated from unsecured networks. Despite air gaps being a strong security measure, these attacks demonstrate that determined adversaries can still find ways to breach such systems. Dr. Mordechai Guri and his team at Ben-Gurion University in Israel have published multiple papers detailing various  covert channels  that can be used to leak data from air-gapped systems. Their latest  research focuses  on exploiting computer components’ electromagnetic, acoustic, thermal, and optical emanations to transmit data to nearby receivers. One attack, dubbed  RAMBO  (Radiation of Air-gapped Memory Bus for Offense), exploits electromagnetic emissions from a computer’s RAM to leak data. Malware can generate controlled radio signals that encode stolen information by manipulating memory access patterns. Using a softwar...
