The dangerous and mysterious world of hackers The war is no longer fought only in the forests, mountains, and plains as before. Now the new battlefield is cyberspace. That is why all the powers of the world are trying to strengthen their cyber power. Part of this effort is the hacking army. However, no country in the world is openly saying that we are preparing a hacking army. But different countries have been preparing and practicing it for a long time. Today we are going to tell you about the dangerous and mysterious world of hackers based in Iran, Russia, and North Korea. Russia - Hacker's Hero In the 1990s, Russian police were unaware of cybercrime. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, many Russian electrical engineers and mathematicians became unemployed. At the same time, they began to explore the world of the Internet for a living. At the time, Russia was not very sensitive about cybersecurity.

Chinese hackers spreading undetectable malware for espionage Researchers at cybersecurity company Kaspersky have uncovered an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) spying campaign that uses a rare type of malware. Kaspersky reports that the Chinese-speaking hacker group has been using rootkits called "MosaicRegressor" for two years to target NGOs and diplomatic missions for espionage campaigns. The researchers said that it would be difficult to detect and remove the malware used for spying in Asia, Africa, and Europe. This malware affects the computer's Unified Extended Firmware Interface (UEFI), which was introduced before the operating system and other programs. This means that no security software or antivirus can detect this malware. However, Kaspersky has stated that this malware is unusual but not unique. The UEFI bootkit component used to insert malicious code into the user's device is based on the vector EDK bootkit. It was created by a hacking team in 2015 and lea...

Security vulnerabilities in popular antivirus software! Cybersecurity researchers have revealed that popular antivirus software has security vulnerabilities. According to a report released by CyberArc Lab, such vulnerabilities have been used by cyber-attackers to increase their presence in computer systems and to infiltrate compromised systems with malware. According to the report, such vulnerabilities in antivirus products have made the system more vulnerable to file manipulation attacks. This allows the malware to easily penetrate the compromised system. This type of bug has affected many antivirus solutions. Among them are Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec, Fortinet, Checkpoint, Trend Micro, Avira, and Microsoft Defender. Currently, all of these software bugs have been addressed by their respective manufacturers, but users are beginning to mistrust the security method. This type of bug allows the attacker to delete files from anywhere in the system. It also allows bad characters to d...
