Читать полностью…The National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan recent documentation of state-sponsored Threat Actors from China is interesting.
A group they believe to be a subset of APT10, abuses WSB (Windows Sandbox) by creating a .wsb configuration file and using it to spin up an instance of the Windows Sandbox.
This is interesting because Windows Defender cannot access the Windows Sandbox (image 1).
The payload enables folder sharing, network access, clipboard access, microphone access, and video access.
tl;dr abusing the sandbox, sandbox as a c2
Windows 10 support ends October 14th, 2025. It is the calling of the Linux nerds.

Congratulations to APT "Stately Taurus".
Throughout 2021 and 2022 Palo Alto was tracking their activity because they left debug symbols in their DLLs.
They've since learned to remove the debug symbols. Good job, buddy. It took a few years, but you're getting better!
Hello,
We would like to speak with the administrative staff at RussianMarket.
Thanks,
Someone contacted us and said they 0day'd their school, infected every machine with a custom RAT, and displayed a MessageBox to everyone in the school at the same time. After that, the school hired him to be in charge of cybersecurity
