Ransomware gang now using critical Windows flaw in attacks

Microsoft is warning that cybercriminals have started to incorporate exploit code for the ZeroLogon vulnerability in their attacks. The alert comes after the company noticed ongoing attacks from cyber-espionage group MuddyWater (SeedWorm) in the second half of September. The threat actor is TA505, an adversary who is indiscriminate about the victims it attacks, with a history starting with the distribution of Dridex banking trojan in 2014. Microsoft says TA505 deployed a campaign with fake software updates that connect to the threat actor s command and control (C2) infrastructure.
