•[ Android banking trojan, Remote-access trojan (RAT), Ransomware ]
Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) reported discovering deVixor, an advanced Android banking trojan that has remote-access (RAT) capabilities and can also deploy a ransomware-style device lock screen. The campaign explicitly targets Iranian users, distributing malicious APKs via phishing websites posing as legitimate automotive businesses and luring victims with heavily discounted vehicle offers. Once installed, deVixor prompts victims to grant high-risk permissions (contacts, SMS, media files, accessibility service), then harvests SMS data to extract banking information such as account balances, OTPs, bank alerts, credit card details, and crypto transaction data. It also uses WebView-based JavaScript injection to load real banking sites inside a hidden WebView and steal login credentials during authentication. In some cases, operators activate a ransom overlay that locks the device and demands payment to a cryptocurrency wallet. Cyble said it identified 700+ deVixor samples since October 2025 and observed indicators (Persian artifacts, targeted-app lists, Telegram infrastructure) suggesting strong familiarity with Irans financial ecosystem.

•[ ransomware, data breach, Social Security numbers ]
The University of Hawaii Cancer Center disclosed an August 2025 ransomware incident in which attackers gained unauthorized access to its network, encrypted files, and stole research files containing patient-related information. Reporting indicates the intrusion was discovered on or around August 31, 2025, after which affected servers were isolated and an investigation began. The Cancer Center stated its electronic medical record system was not impacted, but research datasets were affected and a subset of older records included Social Security numbers because they were historically used as identifiers in the 1990s. Due to the sensitivity of the data and the extent of encryption, the organization engaged external experts, obtained a decryption tool, and reported paying a ransom in exchange for a claimed promise by the attackers to delete stolen data, while continuing longer-term recovery and security hardening.
