How Attackers Hide Processes by Abusing Kernel Patch Protection
Security researchers have identified a sophisticated technique that allows attackers to hide malicious processes from Windows Task Manager and system monitoring tools, even on systems with Microsoft’s most advanced kernel protections enabled. The bypass leverages legitimate Windows APIs to manipulate core data structures before integrity checks can detect tampering, circumventing both PatchGuard and Hypervisor-Protected Code…

Malicious NPM Packages Deliver NodeCordRAT
IntroductionZscaler ThreatLabz regularly monitors the npm database for suspicious packages. In November 2025, ThreatLabz identified three malicious packages: bitcoin-main-lib, bitcoin-lib-js, and bip40. The bitcoin-main-lib and bitcoin-lib-js packages execute a postinstall.cjs script during installation, which installs bip40, the package that contains the malicious payload. This final payload, named NodeCordRAT by ThreatLabz, is a remote access trojan (RAT) with data-stealing capabilities. It is also possible to download bip40…
