Attackers Abuse Velociraptor Forensic Tool to Deploy Visual Studio Code for C2 Tunneling
Yo, listen up — threat actors are getting crafty. They're abusing Velociraptor, a legitimate forensic tool, to deploy Visual Studio Code for C2 tunneling. This isn't a drill; it's happening via Cloudflare Workers, and it's setting the stage for some nasty ransomware attacks. Stay alert, folks.
In 2024, these bad actors leveraged Cloudflare Workers to pull this off, making C2 tunneling easy and prepping for ransomware chaos. It's a slick move that bypasses a lot of traditional defenses, so if you're in tech, you gotta keep your eyes peeled for this kind of ingenuity turned malicious.
- • Velociraptor, a forensic tool, is being misused for attacks.
- • Visual Studio Code is deployed as part of the C2 infrastructure.
- • Cloudflare Workers are exploited to enable tunneling.
- • This sets up precursors for ransomware deployment.
- • Occurred in 2024, highlighting ongoing threats in cybersecurity.
