For criminal hackers, Brazilian hotel networks appear to be easy targets
Cybercriminals have gone on a spree in Brazil’s hospitality industry, infecting the networks of hotels and tourism companies with malware that steals credit card data, according to researchers at Kaspersky. All told, the hackers have struck hospitality organizations in eight states across Brazil, and 20 hotels in that country and others around the world, Kaspersky said last week. Active since 2015, the hackers have stepped up their activity this year. They are brazenly selling access to hotel networks they’ve breached to whoever is buying. Some Brazilian criminals tout the extracted credit card data “as high quality and reliable” because it came from a hotel administration system, the researchers wrote in a blog post. The breaches often begin with spearphishing emails in fluent Portuguese to hotel employees. Once clicked, the emails open up malware capable of capturing data that flows downstream during the reservation process from popular sites like Booking.com. The findings underscore Brazil’s longstanding struggles […]

Notorious FIN7 crooks have new malicious code up their sleeves
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two new tools used by a prolific hacking group known as FIN7, highlighting how, despite a law enforcement crackdown, the group appears to be thriving and making a lot of money in the process. The Eastern European hacking crew, which researchers say has stolen over $1 billion from victims in recent years, is using a new “dropper” to deliver its malicious code, as well as a payload that tampers with a remote IT administration tool, cybersecurity company FireEye said Thursday. Mandiant, FireEye’s incident response arm, discovered the new tools while responding to recent FIN7 hacks in the hospitality industry. It appears the attackers are going after their usual targets — payment card processors — to try to steal money. “We have multiple ongoing victims and felt that, especially within the security industry, [this was information] we needed to get out there” to raise awareness, said Regina […]

FIN8 tries to breach U.S. hotel with new malware variant, researchers say
A well-known criminal hacking group tried to breach the computer network of a U.S. hotel using a variant of malware the group had last deployed in 2017, according to research from endpoint security firm Morphisec. FIN8, as the financially-driven group is known, made several upgrades to its ShellTea malware, aiming it at the network of the hotel between March and May, according to Morphisec. Researchers believe it was an attempted attack on a point-of-sale POS) system, or one that processes payment card data. The intrustion attempt was blocked. In a blog post published Monday, Morphisec warned of the vulnerability of POS networks to groups like FIN8. “Many POS networks are running on the POS version of Window 7, making them more susceptible to vulnerabilities,” wrote Morphisec CTO Michael Gorelik. “The techniques implemented can easily evade standard POS defenses.” The research did not identify the hotel by name or specificy its location, […]
