Hidden Code in Memes Instruct Malware via Twitter
Analysts discover malicious code embedded in tweeted images.
Remember when memes were little more than satirical images overlaid with text? Not anymore. Researchers have identified a new type of malware that receives instructions via hidden code embedded in memes posted to Twitter.
According to researchers, the meme-driven malware is nothing more than a simple remote access trojan (RAT) instructed in a novel way. The first step in the attack is infecting a targeted PC with the RAT – identified as TROJAN.MSIL.BERBOMTHUM.AA. Next, the malware listens for commands from a single Twitter account (created in 2017) and controlled by the malware operator.
“The memes contain an embedded command that is parsed by the malware after it’s downloaded from the malicious Twitter account onto the victim’s machine,” wrote researchers with Trend Micro that discovered the malware and publicly disclosed its findings on Friday.

Twitter Draws Data Privacy Concerns with Two New Bugs
The two flaws shed light on heightened concern around user data privacy when it comes to data.
Two recently-patched flaws in Twitter’s platform have reignited concerns about user data-privacy issues.
On Monday, the social-media giant revealed a hole that accidentally enabled bad actors to pull the country codes of accounts’ phone numbers – and revealed that several IP addresses located in China and Saudi Arabia may have been trying to access the exposed data. This comes on the heels of a tricky glitch, disclosed over the weekend, that had allowed several apps to read users’ direct messages – even when they told users that they wouldn’t.
Like other social-media platforms, Twitter has come under scrutiny for how it collects and protects data. In May, a bug caused account passwords to be stored in plain text on an internal log; and in September, a flaw was disclosed that enabled software developers to read users’ private direct messages.
