    CYFIRMA Research- Mamba Phishing-as-a-Service Kit: How Modern adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) Attacks Operate

    Mamba 2FA illustrates the evolution of phishing into highly automated adversary-in-the-middle attacks that can bypass traditional MFA by closely emulating legitimate cloud authentication experiences. As part of a broader phishing-as-a-service ecosystem, these tools enable scalable, low-effort campaigns with high impact across cloud environments. Addressing this threat requires MFA-resistant authentication, layered identity controls, and continuous monitoring of emerging phishing techniques.

    CYFIRMA Research- SOLYXIMMORTAL: PYTHON MALWARE ANALYSIS

    Emerging Threat Model: SOLYXIMMORTAL Malware Recent analysis highlights how modern commodity malware continues to evolve by abusing legitimate system functionality rather than relying on exploits or vulnerabilities. The malware demonstrates how attackers can achieve persistent access, credential theft, and user surveillance entirely within the user space, leveraging trusted operating system features and third-party services. Key observations: User-level persistence via AppData and registry Run keysCredential extraction from browser stores using native OS APIsContext-aware surveillance through active window monitoring and screenshotsData exfiltration over legitimate platforms (e.g., Discord webhooks)No exploit chains or privilege escalation required Why this matters: These techniques evade many traditional security controls by blending into normal system behavior and trusted network traffic. When malware relies on standard scripting runtimes, user permissions, and widely used cloud services, detection becomes a behavioral problem, not a signature one. Effective defense requires visibility into user-space execution, browser credential access, and abuse of legitimate third-party services, alongside strong behavioral analytics.

    CYFIRMA Research- Tracking Ransomware – December 2025

    Stay ahead with CYFIRMA’s December 2025 Ransomware Report. December marked the most active month of 2025 with 801 global ransomware victims, signaling a strong year-end escalation. Qilin surged to 175 victims, reinforcing its dominance, while Safepay and Sinobi posted sharp month-over-month growth, highlighting shifting group momentum. Ransomware operations increasingly adopted cartel-style, access-driven models, abusing trusted security tools, hypervisors, and enterprise file-sharing platforms to accelerate encryption and data-theft-only extortion.  The United States remained the primary target, followed by Western Europe, with expanding activity across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Professional services, manufacturing, IT, healthcare, and real estate were the most impacted sectors. Emerging groups like Nova continued to scale through data-centric extortion, signaling sustained threat expansion into 2026.

    CYFIRMA Research- Resurgence of Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters

    The threat landscape just got more complex. The Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters-alliance has re-emerged, merging the tactics of notorious groups. This isn’t just a name change; it’s a shift toward professionalized, identity-centric extortion. What you need to know: High-Value Targets: Focused on enterprises with $500M+ revenue, specifically in Cloud, Telecom, and Finance.Identity is the Perimeter: They specialize in "logging in" rather than "hacking in," using advanced vishing (voice phishing) and insider recruitment to bypass MFA.ShinySp1d3r RaaS: The group is launching its own "extortion-as-a-service" platform, moving away from third-party ransomware.Sector Limits: They currently avoid healthcare and specific geopolitical regions (Russia/China), keeping their focus on high-yield corporate data.The takeaway? If your security relies solely on "traditional" MFA without monitoring for suspicious identity behaviour, you could be at risk.

    CYFIRMA Research- APT36: Multi-Stage LNK Malware Campaign Targeting Indian Government Entities

    APT36 Targets Indian Entities Using Weaponized Windows Shortcut Files CYFIRMA has identified a coordinated cyber-espionage campaign attributed to APT36 (Transparent Tribe), a Pakistan-aligned threat actor persistently targeting Indian government entities and strategic sectors. This campaign highlights APT36’s evolving tradecraft, leveraging malicious Windows shortcut (.LNK) files and multi-stage payload delivery to stealthily compromise victim systems while masquerading as legitimate documents. This activity underscores APT36’s increasing technical maturity and continued emphasis on espionage-driven operations against Indian interests.

    CYFIRMA Research- PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY IN CYBERSPACE: THE STRATEGIC USE OF HACKTIVIST PROXIES

    Hacktivist activity is often dismissed as low-sophistication noise, website defacements, DDoS attacks, or online activism. Our latest research argues that this view is increasingly outdated. The report introduces Hacktivist Proxy Operations as a repeatable model of deniable cyber pressure, where ideologically aligned non-state groups apply disruption, narrative amplification, and psychological pressure in ways that align with state geopolitical interests without formal sponsorship or direct control. Key takeaways: • Hacktivist campaigns increasingly activate after geopolitical triggers such as sanctions or diplomatic escalation • Impact comes from timing, visibility, and narrative amplification — not technical sophistication • Low-intensity disruption can create disproportionate strategic and reputational pressure • Effective defense requires resilience and context awareness, not attribution certainty This research is based on structured analysis of open-source intelligence, underground ecosystems, and hacktivist communication channels, and is intended for public, policy, and security audiences.

    CYFIRMA Research- Quishing Campaigns: Advanced QR-Code Phishing Evaluation and Insights

    A sophisticated QR-code phishing (“quishing”) campaign is targeting employees with payroll-themed lures, bypassing email security and harvesting credentials via obfuscated, per-victim infrastructure. This trend underscores the growing risk of mobile-based phishing and the need for stronger user awareness and behavior-driven defenses.
