New Malicious Rust Crates Impersonate fast_log to Steal Solana and Ethereum Wallet Keys
A pair of malicious Rust crates masquerading as the popular fast_log library have been uncovered, harvesting private Solana and Ethereum keys from developers’ environments. The impostor crates include legitimate-looking logging functionality to evade detection, while a hidden routine scans source files for wallet keys and exfiltrates them to a hardcoded command-and-control (C2) endpoint. Between them,…

LNK Malware Leverages Legit Windows Files to Slip Past Defenses
In a recently observed campaign emerging from Israel, threat actors have revived the use of Windows shortcut (.LNK) files to deliver a potent Remote Access Trojan (RAT). These seemingly innocuous shortcut files exploit Living-off-the-Land Binaries (LOLBins) such as odbcconf.exe to silently register and execute malicious DLLs, evading security tools and complicating detection efforts. The attack…
