Hacking, AppSec, and Bug Bounty newsletter

2018-09-10 | Adware Doctor Mac App secretly logging browser history, New malware persistence method using universal windows platform apps, and Black cat hackers

Monday, September 10

TOP STORY

Patrick Wardle published new research on Adware Doctor, a top paid utility app in the Mac App Store that secretly logs the browser history of users, and is sending the data to a server in China. Apple has reportedly now removed the app.

TWEET OF THE DAY

Does it really matter, in the end, to us humble blue teamers on Twitter if WannaCry was DPRK or someone else?

Does that change the mitigations? Does it change how you triage? Does it change how you patch? - @r0wdy

42 year old me wishes 21 year old me hadn’t been talked into doing a PhD in AI and machine learning. I’d really like to be excited about all the AI/ML work going on at the moment, but all I’m seeing is the same problems/mistakes of 20 years ago, but with more CPU resources.
