Lumma Stealer and Ninja Browser malware campaign abusing Google Groups

A malicious campaign exploiting Google Groups to distribute Lumma Stealer and Ninja Browser malware has been uncovered. The attackers infiltrate industry-related forums, posting seemingly legitimate technical discussions with embedded malicious download links. For Windows users, the payload is Lumma Stealer, a credential-harvesting malware. Linux users are directed to download a trojanized Chromium-based browser called Ninja Browser, which installs malicious extensions and persistence mechanisms. The campaign utilizes Google's trusted ecosystem to bypass security measures and increase user confidence. Over 4,000 malicious Google Groups and 3,500 Google-hosted URLs have been identified in this global operation, posing significant risks to organizations including credential theft, account takeover, and remote command execution.

I was today years old when I learned that #IRC is 5 years older than #SMS

#retrocomputing

Of all chat systems still in existence, only #Zephyr, #IRC, and #SMS are older than #Jabber/#XMPP:

Not sure, if "write" and "wall" do count 🙂

Just, wow. Another one to add to the heap of other problems with using SMS as a unique identifies for online accounts;

I've been experimenting with SMS2Email app and IMO it's exceptionally useful in plenty of ways, e.g when you have a SIM card used purely for OTP SMS and it's not necessary to carry it everywhere with you

Also RCS hat echt die Chance WA und Co zu ersetzen. Also alle die Meinen einen Messenger verwenden zu müssen. Das nicht nötig. Müsste nur noch Gruppen mit RCS funktionieren. #RCS statt #SMS ;) xD

MS/MMS is slated to be replaced with “Rich Communications System” (RCS), a new standard for sending electronic text-based messages between phones.

...

You have to basically be a phone company and pay the GSMA tens of thousands of dollars per year to be a member in order to have the privilege of implementing an RCS based system. That’s not open or democratic at all."

#OpenStandards #SMS #RCS

I use #Google Messages for #texting. It's not bad but its only solid features are the #spam blocking and the fact I can use it in a web browser. Oh, and #RCS (as questionable as that may be).

I'd really like to move away from it because, well....Google, but I haven't found a suitable replacement - either on Google Play or F-Droid.

Most #SMS apps are rather bare bones when it comes to features. I am looking for something better.

I am on my second try for Messages on F-Droid but it once again never finishes syncing messages. I deleted over 60 large old conversations and still it gets to about 2/3 done before restarting. I let it run overnight and it never finished.

Any recommendations?

Storm-2603 Exploits CVE-2026-23760 to Stage Warlock Ransomware

A critical vulnerability in SmarterMail email server software (CVE-2026-23760) is being actively exploited by the China-based threat actor Storm-2603. The group uses this vulnerability to bypass authentication, reset administrator passwords, and gain full system control through the software's 'Volume Mount' feature. They then install Velociraptor, a legitimate digital forensics tool, to maintain access and prepare for deploying their Warlock ransomware. The attack chain involves exploiting the password reset API, abusing administrative features, and using legitimate tools to blend in with normal activity. This sophisticated approach allows the group to bypass detection mechanisms and establish persistence. The report also notes simultaneous exploitation attempts of another vulnerability (CVE-2026-24423) against the same targets, highlighting the urgent need for patching and improved security measures.

Manche meiner Kontakte haben so viele Messenger-Apps auf ihrem Smartphone, dass sie Nachrichten von *sekundären* Messengern wie Signal, Threema oder auch Telegram tage- oder wochenlang schlicht nicht abrufen.

Ich bin bei diesen Kontakten dazu übergegangen, wieder SMS zu versenden (ja wie in den 90ern) - die kommen sofort auf's Display meines Kontaktes, müssen nicht abgerufen werden und können auch keine Grafiken mitschicken - ich bin alt und liebe es! 😇

Tiens, au fait, les copaines, j'ai (encore ?) une #question. Votre #appli pour les #SMS (sous #Android) vous affiche-t'elle l'heure d'envoi du SMS par votre correspondant⋅e ou bien l'heure de réception sur votre smartphone ?
Si oui, je serais curieux de savoir quelle appli est la vôtre alors.

marssi !
