Hi all,

 

Just making everyone aware of a recent security incident. Multiple news sources have reported that as of at least last week, the official RVTools installer contained a malicious payload. RVTools and Robware sites are currently down but without a specific statement on the software’s reported compromise.

 

I personally would assume all builds of RVTools are compromised until we have a date the malicious payload was introduced, and avoid all use of the tool until further notice.

 

Stay safe out there!

Thanks for the head’s up Michael. I was just sharing on Signal the other day with the V100 crew I hadn’t used that tool in at least 10yrs. Hope folks who are didn’t get hit with anything 😕🙏🏻

Yeah I saw this the other day from one of many newsletters.  Not great this tool was compromised but I believe they have addressed it.  More details here - https://zerodaylabs.net/rvtools-bumblebee-malware/

I have a copy on my share still from before the hit. I use it often as it’s a great tool, however, I can generate reports of most of that data with other tools now as well.
