Cracked copies of Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop are stealing browser session cookies and Monero cryptocurrency wallets from tightwads who install the pirated software, Bitdefender has warned.

As many Reg readers will no doubt be aware, cracked software is a legitimate application that has had its registration or licensing features removed. Often distributed through BitTorrent in the days of yore, cracked software also known as warez appeal mainly to freeloaders who are happy to use a particular suite without paying for a licence.

With Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop being two of the most popular software suites in their niches, cracked versions were always going to be popular. Those cracks come with a price, though: Bitdefender discovered that certain versions of both suites were being distributed with malware that stole browser session cookies or in the case of Firefox, the user's entire profile history , hijacked Monero cryptocurrency wallets, and exfiltrated other data via BitTorrent, having first opened a backdoor on the target machine and turned off its firewall.

A batch file, chknap. Botezatu, told The Register : "The operators behind this attack take quite some time to analyse the environment they have compromised and decide what is worth stealing.

We presume that exfiltration of the Firefox profile directory was opportunistic rather than targeted and that attackers would go for any other browser installed on the device. Jake Moore, a cybersecurity consultant at infosec biz ESET, told us: "As illegal as cracked software is, it is still very much commonplace on both home and work devices which makes this even more worrisome.

This rather impressive malware may even hide in plain sight as many cracked versions of software come with protection notifications from their antivirus warning their users of the risks. Reg readers who are long of tooth and grey of hair might recall our coverage of the warez scene back in the s, which saw various software pirates being arrested and handed prison terms.

In the days before as-a-service business models in the cloud were viable, vendors were entirely reliant on physical media being distributed to end users containing the entire program. Copy protection was an immediate and popular target for crackers, leading to illegitimate copies of otherwise fully functional software being sold for way below the normal asking price.

Licence key generators were another popular line of business for pirates, with ESET's Moore observing that they're often flagged as malware because they, er, contain baked-in malware and are therefore quarantined by antivirus, "but due to the user choosing to side with their own knowledge and overriding such warnings" bad things tend to happen to systems whose users trusted such nefarious things.

The rise of aaS produce has squashed, if not wiped out, demand for warez; big vendors have become more adept at ensuring their products only work in the presence of an internet connection where they can phone home to an activation server.

In conjunction with a White House meeting on Thursday at which technology companies discussed the security of open source software, Google proposed three initiatives to strengthen national cybersecurity.

The meeting was arranged last month by US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, amid the scramble to fix the Log4j vulnerabilities that occupied far too many people over the holidays. Sullivan asked invited firms — a group that included Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle — to share ideas on how the security of open source projects might be improved.

Google chief legal officer Kent Walker in a blog post said that just as the government and industry have worked to shore up shoddy legacy systems and software, the Log4j repair process — still ongoing — has demonstrated that open source software needs the same attention as critical infrastructure.

Apple's having a problem retaining top chip personnel, with the latest defection being CPU architect Mike Filippo going to Microsoft. As chief compute architect at Microsoft, Filippo will design server chips for the software giant, according to media reports. The US Federal Communications Commission is considering imposing stricter rules requiring telecommunications carriers to report data breaches to customers and law enforcement more quickly.

At the moment, companies have to wait seven business days before they can disclose a data breach to their customers. Under the new plan, the waiting period will be scrapped altogether so people can be notified sooner. Two serious security vulnerabilities were recently found in AWS services, but because they were responsibly reported and the cloud biz responded quickly, no harm appears to have been done.

On Thursday, Orca Security published details about Superglue and BreakingFormation , vulnerabilities in AWS Glue and AWS Cloud Formation that allowed attackers to access data for other customers and to access files and make server-side requests to internal web services infrastructure.

AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service for preparing data for subsequent processing. But thanks to an internal misconfiguration, Orca Security researchers were able to obtain more information than should have been allowed.

Although the companies faced the highest attrition rates in three years and were forced to raise hiring targets, increasing use of technology during the pandemic has given a wide range of verticals a reason to shift from data centres to the cloud. In turn, the pandemic's subsequent digitisation race has presented the IT consulting companies with a thriving market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company TSMC will hike capital spending by a nearly third in to build out production capacity in the expectation that demand for chips keeps flooding in.

The top line was driven by demand for semiconductors manufactured with TSMC's 5nm process technology. This contributed to 23 per cent of TSMC's total wafer revenue in the quarter, while those made using its 7nm process accounted for a further 27 per cent.

These advanced technologies therefore made up half of TSMC's total wafer revenue during the quarter.
