Pirated Software is All Fun and Games Until Your Data’s Stolen

Passwords stolen through software cracks BleepingComputer has been tracking adware bundles for a long time and in the past, they would install unwanted programs, but had no long-term ramifications to your data, privacy, or financial information. Security researcher Benkøw has recently noticed that monetized installers pretending to be software cracks and key generators are now commonly installing password-stealing Trojans or remote access Trojans (RATs) when they are executed. In his tests over the past week by downloading various programs promoted as game cheats, software key generators, and licensed software, when installing them he was infected with password-stealing Trojans and backdoors such as Dreambot, Glupteba, and Racoon Stealer. Distributed via torrent sites, YouTube, and fake crack sites To distribute these adware bundles, attackers will upload them to torrent sites, create fake YouTube videos with links to alleged license key generators, or create sites designed to just promote adware bundles disguised as software cracks.

An employee at a New York City medical center was tricked into giving out patient information by a threat actor purporting to be one of the facility's executives. In a Notice of Data Privacy Incident statement published on VCRN's website, the company stated: "The unauthorized actor requested certain information related to VCRN patients. Information obtained by the threat actor included first and last names, dates of birth, and medical insurance information, including provider name and ID number for 674 patients. The medical center said that they weren't aware of any personal patient information having been misused as a result of this event. VCRN has taken steps to notify all the patients who have potentially been impacted by the cyber-attack. VCRN advised patients "to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud and to review account statements, credit reports, and explanation of benefits forms for suspicious activity and report any suspicious activity immediately to your insurance company, health care provider, or financial institution."
