We’ve brought together this week’s most important news from the world of cybersecurity.
Proofpoint said that with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, scammers are increasingly targeting this industry.
According to the researchers’ observations, in 2022, attackers regularly tried to gain access to cryptocurrency wallets by sending mails containing infected files or links.
Often, they sent emails from so-called cryptocurrency platforms (like Binance or OpenSea) encouraging victims to enter seed phrases on fake pages.
Researchers have found that a new Emotet botnet module aims to steal bank card data via the Chrome browser.
Recall that at the beginning of last year, law enforcement officials eliminated Emotet during an international operation, calling it the most dangerous malware in the world. It was later reported that the botnet self-destructed on all infected devices.
IBM, the largest hardware and software manufacturer and supplier, announced that it has completely ceased business in the Russian Federation.

Researchers discovered the WannaFriendMe ransomware. It does not require a ransom in cryptocurrency, but offers to purchase a decryption program on the Roblox gaming platform through the Roblox Game Pass store.
WannaFriendMe operators advertise it as Ryuk ransomware, but experts state that it is actually one of the variations of Chaos ransomware. According to Bleeping Computer, ransomware like Chaos not only encrypts data, but in many cases destroys it.
In the vast majority of cases, ransomware operators demand a ransom in cryptocurrencies. ForkLog understands what this means for the industry.

Russian authorities require SORM to separate and save search traffic over the Internet, user’s geographic location and browser history.
