NEW and rare aggressive Phoenix keylogger. Cyber reason a cyber-security firm has linked more than 10,000 infections to this new key logger called Phoenix. It became popular after its easy to use interface allowed its users to configure it how they wanted. It's aggressive in how it tries to disable the Defender AntiSpyware module by changing the registry key. It also uses an aggressive anti-AntiVirus and anti-VM modules to terminate the process of over 80 well-known security products, keeping it from being detected.

Roll20 and Stronghold Kingdoms Subject to Security Breach
This article is from Feb. 2019, but I thought I would share it this week since I got an alert recently on my CreditWise app (free account with my credit card). The alert was that my email address had been "compromised" by some online game I barely remember playing: Stronghold Kingdoms. The app listed Oct. 29th 2019 as the day my info was found on the "dark web".
I haven't had any unusual activity on my email account, but i assume this could have been a problem if I had reused the same PW for my email and the game account.
The player information that was stolen includes player usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords. An individual "hacker" seems to have hit over a dozen websites, getting hundreds of millions of account emails/passwords. The unknown hacker was then trying to sell the identifying data online..
The Tech Crunch article referenced in this article:
If you want to check an email address to see if it's been compromised, you can use the site
Also, here is a list of all the websites that have been uploaded to haveibeenpwned.com if you want to search by website instead:

Cyber criminals are demanding a $14 million payment after using ransomware (Ryuk) to infect and encrypt the data of Virtual Care Provider Inc., an IT consulting company that provides its services to roughly 110 nursing homes around the U.S. This proves dangerous to the elderly patients as the care facilities are unable to access medical records and deliver medication on time. The company's CEO has stated that VCPI can't afford the $14 million demand.

Web based management for certain Cisco routers were found to have malicious backdoor it allowed for RCE(Remote Command Execution). Unfortunately the routers that were affected were not the most used in high data traffic areas which is fortunate but it did affect over 5,000 devices.

This article was very interesting. Remote Desktop Protocol, which is used by so many businesses. This might make one re think it. Or atleast find a better way to secure it. It can act like a gateway to the GOLD for a cyber criminal.
RDP is the most dominant attack vector, being used in 63.5% of disclosed targeted ransomware campaigns in Q1 2019.(cyware)
