Italian spyware vendor linked to Chrome zero-day attacks www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…
A zero-day vulnerability in Google Chrome, exploited in Operation ForumTroll earlier this year, delivered malware linked to Italian spyware vendor Memento Labs, born after IntheCyber Group acquired the infamous Hacking Team.
Operation ForumTroll was uncovered by Kaspersky in March. The campaign targeted Russian organizations - media outlets, universities, research centers, government organizations, and financial institutions, with well-crafted invitations to the Primakov Readings forum that contained a malicious link.
Loading the link in any Chromium-based web browser was enough to infect the computer system. Kaspersky researchers said that the malware delivery was done by exploiting CVE-2025-2783, a sandbox escape zero-day in the Chrome browser.
