N0va Phishkit Targets US and EU Businesses: A New Challenge for Identity Security
N0va phishkit targets US and EU organizations with trusted-brand lures, capturing tokens via legitimate authentication flows to gain SSO access to corporate resources.
The N0va phishing kit targets organizations in government, technology, consulting, and healthcare across North America and Europe with lures impersonating Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, DocuSign, Google Drive, Dropbox, Zoom, and Adobe Sign. Victims are guided through legitimate authentication flows, including device code phishing, after which N0va captures access and refresh tokens and abuses token-exchange or device-registration mechanisms to establish SSO access. ANY.RUN tracks the campaign via a characteristic /api/verification/init URL pattern and demonstrates detection in its interactive sandbox.
Intelligence-Driven SOC: Modernizing Threat Monitoring and Detection Engineering for Ultimate MTTR Reduction
ANY.RUN urges SOC teams and MSSPs to adopt intelligence-driven threat monitoring to reduce mean time to respond.
ANY.RUN published a vendor blog post arguing that threat monitoring is the connective tissue of modern security operations and that SOC teams and MSSPs must move from simple log collection to a proactive, intelligence-driven framework. The piece promotes ANY.RUN's Threat Intelligence offering as the solution for detection engineering and MTTR reduction. It is promotional content rather than a threat disclosure or research finding.
Malicious Apache Modules Hijack Brazilian Government Site Traffic to Push Betting Pages
Check Point links Gambling Goblin, a Chinese-speaking cluster, to malicious Apache modules hijacking Brazilian government servers to promote betting sites.
Check Point Research tracks Gambling Goblin, a Chinese-speaking cluster, installing malicious Apache reverse-proxy modules on compromised Brazilian government and education web servers since mid-2025. The modules divert visitors to gambling and fake app-store pages while stripping the site's security headers, likely for large-scale SEO manipulation. The group's Linux arsenal includes DownPro, AlphaAgent, oRAT, a 3snake-based credential stealer, and SSH brute-forcing tools, and it is tied to Trend Micro's Earth Berberoka. Related SEO-fraud campaigns on .gov.br domains were documented by ESET (GhostRedirector), Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, and Hunt.io.
