Latest wave of Cerberus targets English-speaking users

Image
  Following the recent discoveries shared by @MalwareHunterTeam and @LukasStefanko on Twitter, I took a closer look at the ongoing Cerberus Android banking Trojan campaign. It has recently reared its head to target English-speaking users via a fake food delivery app: (Figure 1 - The fake website that drops food-delivery.apk) (Figure 2 - Downloading and granting permissions to the Trojanised application) If successfully downloaded and permissions are granted, the user's device is infected with a banking Trojan that shares multiple similarities to the infamous Cerberus Android banking Trojan. Further investigation in this campaign revealed the attacker's infrastructure through a mutual host, gTLD (.top), and the same registrant details.  Virus Total Graph of the campaign: Themes of Trojanised Applications distributed by this Cerberus operator: Cerberus web injects database: (Figure 3 - Picture of the Cerberus web injects database for reference) Analysis: The Cerberu...

Analysis of a recent Magecart campaign

Image
  On 13 March, SanSec disclosed a new Magecart domain used to host malicious JavaScript (.js) files that can collect credit card information from ecommerce site checkout pages. The site (jquerycdn[.]at) that hosted the scripts was present on at least 299 different victim stores. The most commonly attacked platform is Magento 1 ecommerce platform. Notably, support for Magento 1 ended on 30 June 2020, meaning that it will no longer receive security updates. How does the web skimmer work? “Web skimmers are loaded on the checkout page of a typical store. It lives in the browser of an unsuspecting online customer. Whenever he or she enters her payment information, the private data is siphoned off to an offshore server. Usually, this data is then sold on the dark web within 2-10 weeks.” - SanSec.  In this blog, I analysed the JavaScript Skimmers connected to jquerycdn[.]at in an ongoing campaign :  knockout-fast-foreach.js 46fa357596e58272e6e2865c8b80bb96eb910c577267ce64bcada7...

Gone Phishing

This is a blog on some of the latest phishing threats that are out there and ones I have recently, personally experienced and reverse engineered. On 1 May I received this SMS text:  Just received this: (1 May) http://security[.]hsbcuk[.]confirm-securekey[.]com @HSBC_UK #phishing #smishing (I’m not with HSBC) pic.twitter.com/HU3sqBlPhz — Will | BushidoToken 👁‍🗨 (@BushidoToken) May 1, 2020 To me, it was quite clearly a phish, as I'm not with HSBC, however, someone who is may have been easily fooled. The trick the phishermen used here is via a subdomain. Average users may be able to recognise their usual bank domain and feel safe. However, the threat actors who sent this to me could use a domain like 'digitalbanking.com' (which is for sale ) and simply insert my bank's full URL as a subdomain - making it quite convincing. Plus, they can add a free digital certificate from Let's Encrypt CA to give it HTTPS and now we have a pretty convincing phish. ...
