Exploit Kit Devs Aims To Old And Forgotten Vulnerabilities

Similarly to hackers, who adopt newer and more complex attack vectors, exploit kit devs are aiming to old and usually forgotten vulnerabilities within pieces of software.

A recent analysis of some current exploit kits, including Angler, Rig, and Sundown, revealed that hackers and cyber-attackers are continuously changing their approaches with new crypto mining malware, botnets, and Trojan attacks. However, the hackers are still focusing on forgotten vulnerabilities that should have been fixed a long time ago.

New cyber attacks using old and forgotten vulnerabilities

As reported by Trend Micro in their analysis, Rig is the most used exploit kit, developed in 2017 and updated for more than four times, outperforming other similar packages which vanished or has been disabled.

Usually, cyber-attackers use Internet Explorer or MS Office’s vulnerabilities to deploy crypto mining malware that uses the computing power of the infected computers for their purposes. Also, they could steal credentials, banking information, private data, and many others.

Palo Alto Networks revealed in June 2018 that exploit kit devs are also aiming the old and usually forgotten vulnerabilities of Adobe Flash Player, a famous piece of software for its security flaws which become gateways for cybercriminals to deploy their exploit kits.

Exploit kit devs target zero-day vulnerabilities which are more common lately

In June this year, a report signed by Malwarebytes indicated that exploit kit devs are more and more aiming to the increasingly more zero-day vulnerabilities in recent software releases. The IT security experts also stated that more 0-day flaws would emerge in upcoming releases.

In order to get protection against cyber attacks that target old and usually forgotten vulnerabilities, as well as zero-day vulnerabilities, the security specialists from IBM recommend software developing companies to enhance their antivirus protections and adopt better patch-management policies to update their software programs against possible attacks regularly.

Samsung Rose Gold Galaxy Watch Comes with Huge Battery and New Tizen OS

It is not the first time Samsung has ever leaked one of its wearables, and it is not the last time either. The leak shows a Rose Gold smartwatch measuring 42 mm, and it was posted on Samsung’ U.S. website. After showing up online this morning, CNET was the first one to report, and @subeticme saw it first.

After realizing its mistake, Samsung has removed the smartwatch from its website. Furthermore, neither the specs or the price of the Galaxy Watch were listed by Samsung. This leaked that showed on the page is a confirmation that we will no longer hear from a Gear but from a Galaxy Watch brand. It seems like it is just a change in name as the Rose Gold wearable looks almost the same as the Gear 3 Classic.

As mentioned before, Samsung repeats its mistake and leaks its smartwatch again. Before announcing the Gear Fit 2 Pro, it was already leaked by…guess who? Samsung, the creator of it. The smartwatch was featured on the South Korean’s Netherland, Spain, USA and Spain regional websites.

What rumors do we know about the Galaxy Watch?

  • A battery of 470mAh
  • Heart rate monitor incorporated
  • The Bixby voice-activated assistant
  • It swaps Wear OS for Samsung’s own Tizen software

About the reveal date

In case you did not know, Samsung will host a technological event on the 9th of August in Brooklyn, New York City, the United States of America which will be called Unpack. During this event, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be launched, and we also expect the South Korean company’s upcoming wearable, the Galaxy Watch (previously assumed to be Samsung Gear S4) to come along with the high-end flagship handset. From other reports, we also know that this might be the last time Samsung will ever reveal a Note model.
