Threat hunters have flagged a previously undocumented Brazilian banking trojan dubbed TCLBANKER that's capable of targeting 59 banking, fintech, and cryptocurrency platforms. The activity is being tracked by Elastic Security Labs under the moniker REF3076. The malware family is assessed to be a major update of the Maverick, which is known to leverage a worm called SORVEPOTEL to spread via WhatsApp Web to a victim's contacts. The Maverick campaign is attributed to a threat cluster that Trend Micro calls Water Saci. At the core of the attack chain is a loader with robust anti-analysis capabilities that deploys two embedded modules: a full-featured banking trojan and a worm component that uses WhatsApp and Microsoft Outlook for propagation. "The observed infection chain bundles a malicious MSI installer inside a ZIP file," security researchers Jia Yu Chan, Daniel Stepanic, Seth Goodwin, and Terrance DeJesus said. "These MSI installer packages are abusing a signed Logitech program called Logi AI Prompt Builder." The malware leverages DLL side-loading against the application to launch a malicious DLL ("screen_retriever_plugin.dll"), which functions as a loader with a "comprehensive watchdog subsystem" that continuously keeps an eye out for analysis tools, sandboxes, debuggers, disassemblers, instrumentation tools, and antivirus software to sidestep

Original article: Caso “Cuota Flores” se agranda: exasesor habría entregado cartolas y WhatsApp clave para seguir la plata The investigation into Senator Camila Flores (RN) regarding the potential crime of tax fraud in the so-called « Cuota Flores« case is intensifying. On Wednesday, OS9 police officers and the Valparaíso Regional Prosecutor’s Office conducted a search and seizure in her congressional offices. According to reports from CIPER, this operation was prompted by the substantial collaboration of a former advisor who allegedly provided bank statements and WhatsApp records that would be crucial in tracking the money that the senator is believed to have misappropriated from the salaries of her staff. The Valparaíso Regional Prosecutor’s Office initiated this investigation following an anonymous tip claiming that during her tenure as a deputy, Flores allegedly “demanded” that part of her collaborators’ salaries be delivered in cash to cover personal expenses, a practice referred to by employees as «Cuota Flores». This situation is reported to have persisted for at least seven years, amounting to nearly $300 million. Central to the operation was the secretary of the legislator, Yolanda Olfos, who was responsible for coordinating the collection of funds from the collaborators hired by Flores with congressional

Meta introduced a policy on January 15 allowing only its Meta AI assistant on WhatsApp, before subsequently amending it in ​March, saying rivals could ...

Meta is firing back at a January lawsuit that alleged WhatsApp never supported end-to-end encryption, arguing the plaintiff’s claims are unraveling. In a Monday court filing, Meta says it has spent months "proactively engaged" with the plaintiffs on why the allegations are baseless. The lawsuit comes from a group of users based in countries such as Australia, Mexico, and South Africa, who cite “courageous whistleblowers” who allege Meta has “unlimited access” to WhatsApp’s encrypted messages.  With end-to-end encryption, Meta itself can’t view any user messages. So, if true, the sensational claims would undermine a core privacy feature of WhatsApp. The problem is that the lawsuit never offered any technical details to back up its allegations; instead, it merely claimed Meta had an internal system to easily view users' WhatsApp messages. When the lawsuit was first filed, Meta was quick to dismiss the allegations as “categorically false and absurd.” In the Monday filing, the company revealed it’s been pushing the plaintiffs and their lawyers to withdraw the case, arguing the “so-called ‘whistleblowers’ behind the complaint are confused, deeply misinformed, or acting in bad faith.” Meta went so far as to offer “sworn declarations from two WhatsApp employees,” confirming under penalty of perjury

WhatsApp has begun the process of removing its personalized avatar feature after data indicated that the vast majority of its global user base was not utilizing the tool. The discontinuation marks a shift in the platform’s development strategy, moving away from stylized digital personas to focus on more utility-driven updates.   The removal of the avatar system is being implemented in stages. Users are currently losing access to creation and editing tools through “waves” of updates. According to reports from WABetaInfo , individuals who still have the feature active are beginning to see notifications within their application settings. These alerts warn that the system will soon permanently delete profile avatars and disable the associated toolkit.   The impact on the user interface is comprehensive. The changes include:   Settings Menu:  The dedicated “Avatar” section is being purged.   Profile Views:  The toggle that allowed users to switch between a standard profile photo and an animated avatar is being removed.   Keyboard Integration:  The entry point for generating and sending avatar-based stickers is disappearing from the chat interface.   Impact on Existing Content   While the ability to generate new personalized stickers or edit existing characters is being revoked, there is a minor silver lining for fans of the feature. Avatar stickers that have already been sent  in previous conversations will not be deleted. These remains can still be accessed and reused if they are saved in a user’s “Recent” or “Favorites” stickers tab.   Future Development Priorities   Although Meta has not issued an official public statement regarding the specific metrics behind this decision, the move suggests a realignment of resources. By sunsetting the underused avatar feature

If you have ever created an avatar for your WhatsApp profile, you should know the feature is being deleted altogether. Avatars are being removed from the WhatsApp feature list, starting with the ability to edit. The news comes courtesy of WABetaInfo , which notes users are seeing a new info card in the WhatsApp app with a notice of Meta’s removal. The card also explains that avatars will be removed from WhatsApp profiles in a coming update. WhatsApp’s miniature versions of users have been around since late 2022, but the recent notice from Meta would indicate the feature isn’t being prioritized going forward. WhatsApp profiles generally showcase profile photos first, with an avatar accessible if the user has one created. The feature was a product of Meta’s push for VR visuals, mirroring the avatars available for Quest users. The feature extended to stickers, too. Those are being removed in addition to the profile avatars, but timing is unclear. Meta hasn’t disclosed the full timeline for the feature’s removal, but it’s been reported that many users are seeing the warning in-app. When the full removal happens, users will not be able to create, edit, or share avatars with others.
