WinRAR Zero-Day Hit by RomCom
A critical security flaw in WinRAR, tracked as CVE-2025-8088, is under active exploitation by the Russia-linked hacking group RomCom. The vulnerability allows malicious .rar archives to extract files into unintended system paths-such as the Startup folder-leading to automatic malware execution upon reboot. Because WinRAR does not have an auto-update function, this flaw remains a significant […]
Unicode Deception Bypasses URL Trust
A new phishing campaign has emerged that uses the Japanese hiragana character ん to impersonate forward slashes in website URLs. This subtle trick creates the illusion of a legitimate domain while quietly directing victims to malicious sites. How the Attack Works Instead of a forward slash / in URLs, attackers insert the ん character, which […]
