‘Gamaredon’ hackers target Ukrainian officials amid rising Russian tensions

Russian hackers have a long history of going after organizations in Ukraine, but one group especially has tunnel vision for the former Soviet republic. And recently, it looks like those hackers returned with a new campaign targeting Ukrainian government officials, threat researchers say. Gamaredon — also known as Primitive Bear — is behind the malicious cyber activity, Anomali concluded with “high confidence” in research shared with CyberScoop in advance of its publication. The campaign first appeared in January and ran through at least mid-March, Anomali said. Publication of the research coincides with escalating tensions between the two nations, with a Russian troop buildup along the Ukrainian border. “This one is interesting because the alignment of real world events is just another indication of potential hybrid warfare that Russia is known to engage in,” said Gage Mele, lead cyber threat intelligence analyst at Anomali. It caps a busy period for Gamaredon, […]

Hackers use fake contact tracing apps in attempt to install banking malware on Android phones

Twelve applications posing as coronavirus contact tracing apps available outside mainstream marketplaces are designed to steal personal and financial information from unwitting Android users. Apps meant to impersonate official government tracing apps from countries including Italy, Russia and Singapore trigger malicious software capable of collecting a range of data from user’s devices, the threat intelligence firm Anomali found in research shared with CyberScoop prior to its publication. It’s the latest example of hackers and scammers exploiting global events to try stealing from anxious smartphone users who, in this case, would have believed they were downloading an app designed to measure the prevalence of COVID-19 in their community. None of the apps were included in the Google Play Store at press time. Anomali determined that apps were available on suspicious websites and in third-party app markets. Researchers were unable to determine how many people downloaded the suspicious apps, and the distinct […]
