Shade was spread predominantly via phishing emails with malicious ZIP files. Security researchers noticed last year that it was the most prevalent malware stored in secret “approved” directories of HTTPS pages....

SIMATIC HMI panels are designed for operator control and system and plant tracking purposes. Ta-Lun Yen, a researcher at the IIoT security-focused joint venture between Trend Micro and Moxa, TXOne Networks, discovered that these devices are afflicted by a missing Telnet service authentication problem. Affected Telnet-enabled systems do not need any protection, enabling a remote intruder to access a computer in full, Siemens said. The German industrial giant said the weakness (CVE-2020-15798) had an effect on SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels and SIMATIC HMI KTP Mobile Panels, like SIPLUS devices designed for severe conditions....
