After years of dominance in #ESET’s top #infostealer statistics, the era of #AgentTesla has come to an end. It finished H1 2025 in fourth place, its numbers having decreased by 57%. The reason? It is no longer under active development.
The threat actors behind Agent Tesla have reportedly lost access to the servers with the malware’s source code. A successor appeared almost immediately – another #MaaS threat, known as #SnakeStealer or #SnakeKeylogger, has claimed the number one spot.
Recommended as a suitable replacement directly in Agent Tesla’s Telegram channel, SnakeStealer now takes up almost a fifth of all infostealer detections registered by ESET telemetry. Between H2 2024 and H1 2025, its detections more than doubled.

The #FBI and #DCIS disrupted #Danabot. #ESET was one of several companies that cooperated in this effort. https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/eset-research/danabot-analyzing-fallen-empire/
#ESETresearch has been involved in this operation since 2018. Our contribution included providing technical analyses of the malware and its backend infrastructure, as well as identifying Danabot’s C&C servers. Danabot is a #MaaS #infostealer that has also been seen pushing additional malware – even #ransomware, such as #LockBit, #Buran, and #Crisis – to compromised systems.
We have analyzed Danabot campaigns all around the world and found a substantial number of distinct samples of the malware, as well as identified more than 1,000 C&Cs.
This infostealer is frequently promoted on underground forums. The affiliates are offered an administration panel application, a backconnect tool for real-time control of bots, and a proxy server application that relays the communication between the bots and the C&C server.
IoCs are available in our GitHub repo. You can expect updates with more details in the coming days. https://github.com/eset/malware-ioc/tree/master/danabot

Congrats to Marc Hasselwander, a friend and collaborator of Trufi making an impact in mobility research. His study on Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in Manila is one of the most cited papers in Transportation Research Part A.

Un cotxe se passa el 92% del temps aparcat.

En 1/5 part del temps de conducció està cercant aparcament.

De 5 places, n'ocupa 1,5 de mitjana.

I què dir de la ineficiència energètica? Especialment si és de motor de combustió. El 86% del combustible es crema sense generar moviment a les rodes.

Maas beklagt fehlende US-Koordination beim Afghanistan-Abzug

Beim deutschen Abzug aus der afghanischen Hauptstadt Kabul im Jahr 2021 herrschte Chaos. Der damalige Außenminister Maas verweist im Untersuchungsausschuss auf die schwierige Abstimmung mit den US-Partnern und fehlerhafte Einschätzungen des BND.

Public transport in the global South could leapfrog into a sustainable future with battery swapping.

Technologies like this have the potential to revolutionize urban mobility.

De gemeente #Cuijk heeft toegezegd om er alles aan te doen om resten van een #Romeinse #afvalberg in de #Maas bij Cuijk zo snel mogelijk op te graven. Mogelijk wordt de #vindplaats spoedig drooggelegd met damwanden. De resten worden bedreigd door de steeds hevigere stroming in de Maas. /1

This ought to make @jon happy: Finnish Railways VR will now plan and sell travel chains including connecting buses. Some years past I was working on this myself as a third party opetator, and the tech we built is powering the bus networks' side of the system even today. Yes, you can also buy train tickets from the bus networks. That came first.

Attending #CityTalk "Mobility as a Service: How can MaaS support better mobility access?" from the #CanadianUrbanismInstitute - panellists will explore the conversation around MaaS acceptance and implementation and how, if directed intentionally, the model can support better mobility access.
