    A new stealer hiding behind AI hype. [Research Saturday]

    This week, we are joined by Michael Gorelik, Chief Technology Officer from Morphisec, discussing their work on "New Noodlophile Stealer Distributes Via Fake AI Video Generation Platforms." A new threat dubbed Noodlophile Stealer is exploiting the popularity of AI-powered content tools by posing as fake AI video generation platforms, luring users into uploading media in exchange for malware-laced downloads. Distributed through convincing Facebook groups and viral campaigns, the malware steals browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and can deploy a remote access trojan like XWorm. The campaign uses a layered, obfuscated delivery chain disguised as legitimate video editing software, making it both deceptive and difficult to detect.

    Brandon Karpf: A sailor of the 21st century. [Transitioning service member] [Career Notes]

    Please enjoy this encore of Career Notes. Lieutenant in the US Navy and Skillbridge Fellow at the CyberWire, Brandon Karpf, knew he wanted to join the military at a young age. He achieved that through the US Naval Academy where he was a member of the men’s heavyweight rowing team. Commissioned as a cryptologic warfare officer, Brandon was sent to MIT for a graduate degree where he experienced the exact opposite of the Naval Academy’s highly structured life. Brandon’s later work with both NSA and US Cyber Command helped him gain experience and cyber operations skills. As he transitions from active duty to civilian life, Brandon shares his personal challenges and struggles during that process. Through the DoD Skillbridge Fellowship program, Brandon’s transition has him sharing his skills with the CyberWire. We thank Brandon for sharing his expertise and his story with us.

    Triofox and the key to disaster. [Research Saturday]

    This week, we are joined by John Hammond, Principal Security Researcher at Huntress, who is sharing his PoC and research on "CVE-2025-30406 - Critical Gladinet CentreStack & Triofox Vulnerability Exploited In The Wild." A critical 9.0 severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-30406) in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox is being actively exploited in the wild, allowing remote code execution via hardcoded cryptographic keys in default configuration files. Huntress researchers observed compromises at multiple organizations and confirmed hundreds of vulnerable internet-exposed servers, urging immediate patching or manual machineKey updates. Mitigation guidance, detection, and remediation scripts have been released to help users identify and secure affected installations.
