They dive into SetXP, a stealthy Linux malware that manipulates UDEV rules to evade detection, and explore why it’s not yet on the MITRE ATT&CK radar. The duo also covers PeakLight, a new memory-only dropper, and Stick Stealer, a malware targeting browser data and crypto wallets. Wrapping up with insights from a BlackSuit ransomware breach, they discuss how attackers often reuse old techniques in new ways.
