What’s new: The Noodlophile malware campaign has expanded its global reach, utilizing spear-phishing emails that masquerade as copyright infringement notices. These emails are tailored with specific details about the target, such as Facebook Page IDs and company ownership information. The campaign employs advanced techniques, including the use of legitimate software vulnerabilities and Telegram for command-and-control, to evade detection. The malware is capable of stealing data from web browsers and is under continuous development to enhance its capabilities.

Enterprises in the U.S., Europe, Baltic countries, and the Asia-Pacific region are targeted by this campaign, particularly those with significant social media footprints.
What to do
- Implement email filtering to detect and block phishing attempts.
- Educate employees about the risks of opening unsolicited emails and downloading attachments.
